First off, let’s not pretend these things are cheap. We’re talking Hermes here. It’s the kind of thing you buy when, like, you’ve already got the Birkin and you need something to tie to it. And speaking of Birkins, Louis Vuitton’s handbags get all the spotlight, sure, but a Hermes scarf? It whispers “I’m rich” instead of shouting it. Know what I mean? Subtlety, baby!
Now, I saw this thing about finding Hermes dupes on Amazon. Look, I’m not gonna lie, I’ve *looked*. But let’s be real, a *dupe* is never gonna be the same. It’s like…diet Coke vs. the real deal. It just…isn’t. Plus, half the fun is knowing it’s the real McCoy, right? The thrill of the hunt, the little orange box…it all adds up.
And then there’s the *styling*. OMG, the styling! You can wear it as a scarf top (get ready for summer, apparently!), tie it to your bag (see, I told you!), or, get this, frame it. Framed! That’s next-level bougie. I saw someone online who had, like, fifteen framed Hermes scarves. FIFTEEN! I mean, at that point, you’re basically running a museum. A very expensive museum.
I was also reading about valuable Hermes scarf designs, like the “Brides de Gala”. Equestrian themes, apparently, are a big thing. Honestly, I don’t know much about horses, but the patterns are gorgeous. I mean, they’re gorgeous *when* they’re done right. I’ve seen some…uh…questionable color combinations, and honey, no amount of “Hermes” can save a bad color scheme.
And 24S.com? Supposedly they have a selection. I need to check that out. My personal opinion? Half the fun is just *browsing*. You can dive deep into the history of them, too. Françoise de La designed the ‘Étriers’ one, apparently. Did I know that before reading this stuff? Nope. Do I care? Maybe a little. It’s kinda cool knowing the story behind these things, y’know? It’s not just random silk.
