I have to confess that I think it was the colour of my cardigan is what sold me this colourway! I was lucky that Manchester had both cws to choose from - the other is a brighter stronger cw in fuschia with browns and oranges. Anyway this was an unexpected addition to my large collection of scarves.
Next time...Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend!
May I be the very first to congratulate you dear Scarf Addict! This color way and design was made for you! Keep fingers crossed for me - and I would love to know how the store prevented all the H ladies from rushing at them all at once for this special edition! Brava!

ReplyDeleteI was given this scarf as a gift. Mine is fuchsia. Actually, I thought that only 100 were made. 200? What is a scarf like this worth? I was considering selling mine. It has never been worn. Thanks for the advice.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine that they made 100 of each of the 2 colours hence the 200. They are nearly sold out and have not been around that long. A 90cm new is £280.00 so that is the retail value. You can swap at Hermes if the scarf is current or no more than 3 seasons old I think - other scarfies will correct me if I am wrong. Whether the scarf will be a collectors item I don't know but there is a good chance it will - it is not my favourite design at all I got it more because it is nice to have in my collection. Hope that helps! SA:-)
