Finding The Best Place To Buy Vintage Hermes Scarves For Sale

By Cornelia White


In the day of glamour and style scarves were the accessory of the day. Icons like Grace Kelly and Sofia Loren used scarves around their neck, over their hair when riding in convertibles, tied to their handbags, and even as a sling for a broken arm. Finding vintage Hermes scarves for sale today can allow you to bring a bit elegance to your wardrobe.

The Hermes company started out as harness makers for carriages. Slowly they advanced their products to bags that had all the look and use that people needed. Eventually they made their way into women's fashion and in 1937 they created the first ninety by ninety square scarf. Not only were these beautiful, but they were made to be resilient with the strongest silk available.

These works of art are made with the utmost care and consideration. All their hems are hand sewn. They have over 25,000 designs and every year they come out with two collections. Smaller scarves have been created and mixed with cashmere to create another level of grace and panache and give one the opportunity to add to their accessories. They are usually worn with clothing, but you can also make pillows or even hang them as accent points in your home.

Buying these accessories from Hermes today is a thrill, but finding vintage scarves is even more fun. Like a treasure hunt you search for past patterns or designs that can give you the look and feel that you want. Finding a scarf that has the correct signature in the design and the copyright correctly will ensure you have found an original.

To begin your search you'll want to visit consignment stores, antique shops, and boutiques to see if they have a hidden gem in their inventory. Once you discover a possible candidate make sure to look for its authenticity. The high end product market is rife with counterfeit pieces that can fool many people into believing they are real.

There are several ways you can spot a fake. The accent on the second e of Hermes goes toward the back not towards the front. The tag that is attached should be written in French only. Any other language ensures you have an impostor. Make sure the hem is done correctly and by hand. It should be towards the bright side not the dull.

There are many sites on the internet that will sell you vintage scarves. Sites like eBay and Etsy are known for having all kinds of classic and traditional items for sale. Just make sure you are using reputable dealers. Most of the people that sell products like older Hermes scarves have reviews from previous clients that will give you an idea about how the service and product were delivered.

Looking for a vintage hermes scarves for sale will be a lot of fun. Like a challenge, you'll need to hunt for the perfect classic piece to enhance your wardrobe. You might want to get an idea of what kind of design you might want by checking out a book of all the patterns and designs they've created.
