Shopping For A Hermes Vintage Scarf

By Rachael Gutierrez


There are lots of fashion accessories to choose from when you are in the market for a new one, but few hold the beauty and prestige of a Hermes vintage scarf. These gorgeous items are at the top of the buy list for many fashionistas because they are high quality and last for a really long time. Before you make a purchase, here is what you should look for.

The first thing to look for is what material the scarf is made out of. Many people assume that Hermes only uses high-end materials like silk in the manufacturing process, but this is actually not true. Though many scarves are made from silk or some kind of silk blend like silk twill, a few are made from more durable materials to last longer. Jersey, chiffon, and even cashmere are also popular choices for these vintage pieces.

When buying anything that isn't brand new, it's important to be sure that you are not buying a fake. Unlike some other big name designers, Hermes doesn't always plaster its logo across every item that comes out of its warehouse. In some cases, it is easy to spot the logo, but in others you will have to look for it. If you can't be sure the item is authentic, don't buy it.

The next thing to look for is quality. Hermes prides itself on producing only high-quality items that are made to last and be a good investment. If the item you are thinking of purchasing is made from shoddy materials or has a lot of imperfections, chances are good that you are holding a fake. Only purchase items that are of high quality to ensure you aren't getting bamboozled.

A lot of designers have been issuing replicas of old items they used to stock, which are often called 'vintage style' accessories. This means that they look like older items, but were actually produced fairly recently. These are still great items, but they should be priced accordingly, so don't overpay for these if you wish to purchase one.

Since these older items are usually more expensive, price is another thing you must consider before buying. Some may balk at the cost of these scarves, but remember that they are actually a good investment. They will almost surely be in demand for years to come, which means that you can always sell them later if you need cash or just don't use them. Also, if you take proper care of them, these scarves will last for many years and perhaps generations to come.

Finally, your new scarf might need an accessory of its own. Yes, even accessories have accessories these days, which is why a scarf ring from Hermes is something you might want to consider. These beautiful round rings can enhance the look of your scarf while making styling them a little easier to do. This is completely optional, but definitely something to take into consideration.

As with any purchase, always be sure that your Hermes vintage scarf is the real deal. It takes just a few minutes to ensure that you have an authentic piece. This is a great investment and will turn any wardrobe from basic to fabulous in no time flat.
