What To Look For In 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.

Quality is also a huge consideration when buying Hermes, because the company doesn't make cheap items. If you have an item in your hand that feel cheap or isn't made the way an item of Hermes caliber should be made, then pass it over. Don't buy anything that looks shoddy or like it was put together poorly, because this probably is a fake.

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.

Speaking of price, this is the next thing to take under consideration when deciding whether or not to add one of these scarves to your collection. Yes, the price tag might be much higher than what you are used to, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. These pieces will have great resell value later on down the line because they are classic items that are in demand. They also are built to last, so you won't have to throw them out later because they fell apart.

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.
