There's been something in the air lately. It's not the pollen, ragweed or whatever else flies around Dallas during the spring months.
It's tears. Tears all the time. Talking to friends. Talking to colleagues at work on a Zoom. Talking to family. Talking to strangers. Tears all the time.
Part of the fun of collecting Hermès scarves is the hunt: finding a coveted piece at a flea market in Paris or coming across an amazing deal at the most unlikely place.
The story of how I acquired the Hermès scarf, A Vos Crayons by Leigh Cooke, is one of those stories. I found it at the Neiman Marcus Bargain Box in Longview, Texas which is one of the most amazing hidden gems for anyone looking for a luxe for less find.
It's Paris reimagined! Love this Hermès scarf from Octave Marsal that debuted in 2019. La Cite Cavaliere is funky, surprising and gorgeous. You could spend hours looking at it and still not see everything.
I purchased this scarf at Hermès George V store in Paris on December 30, 2019 which was a wonderful experience. It was crowded but not as much as the Rue St. Honoré store.
I prefer buying scarves secondhand as I enjoy the hunt. The important thing to note when buying scarves secondhand is to buy from someone you trust or a company that guarantees the authenticity of an item. Some of my favorites places that do that are Fashionphile, The Real Real, The Luxury Closet.
