Purchasing A Hermes Vintage Scarf

By Rachael Gutierrez


Hermes is a brand known all over the world because of their gorgeous line of accessories. Fashion mavens everywhere always eagerly await their newest items with bated breath. These same fashionable fans area always on the lookout for the famous Hermes vintage scarf, because these are gorgeous items that have stood the test of time. Before you bring out your credit card to purchase though, here is what to look for.

When deciding whether or not to purchase one of these highly sought after accessories, check to see what material it is made out of. Do no assume that Hermes only uses silk, because this is actually a common misconception. The brand also uses a variety of other materials, and even blended materials in order to make some of the pieces a little more versatile. These other materials include silk chiffon, jersey, cashmere, silk twill and others.

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.

Quality is a hallmark of all Hermes items, as it is something that the company really prides itself on. This is good news for you, because it means that the item will last you for quite awhile, and you may even be able to pass it on to the next generation. Before buying, look for imperfections and cheap materials, which means that you are probably holding a fake. Like anything else, if you aren't sure, put it back and don't buy it.

There is a difference between authentic vintage scarves and ones that are 'vintage style' scarves. Something that is vintage style was actually made just recently, and just looks like it was made decades ago. These are often replications of the originals, so keep that in mind when you are deciding whether to buy or not.

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.

Even though a scarf is an accessory, that doesn't mean that you can't have an accessory for it. Hermes has gorgeous scarf rings available in variety of designs and materials to help you style your scarf. You don't need a ring to style your scarf, but it makes a really beautiful addition to your collection.

A Hermes vintage scarf is a great accessory to add to your wardrobe because it is a beautiful and timeless piece that you will want to wear with everything. Just be aware of a few things before you buy so that you don't end up with a fake. As long as you do your due diligence, you will be the proud owner of a nice designer statement piece that will make others envious.
