Hermes Scaves/ Resale Shops
 
I wish to purchase used Hermes scarves that are in good condition. Are there resale or second hand shopes that someone can suggest?
Not worn or poor condition, just in very nice shape? Thanks.

Have you considered ebay?

Be sure to check the sellers rating and terms of sale prior to purchase.

If you are traveling to Paris, the best consignment shop is Réciproque (88-123 rue de la Pompe, 16e, M° Rue de la Pompe, Tue-Fri, 11am to 7:30pm, Sat 10:30am to 7:30pm, tel: 01 47 04 30 28). Great selection of stuff and all in excellent condition.

They sometimes have them here:

My two are over 30 years old that I bought two of the same in different colors. I love mushrooms! Now I finally have a new one. A gift for my April Anniversary.
a few years ago I bought from a display guy the ceramic mushrooms that were used to promote my old scarves and have them under a bell jar.
I'm not crazy over the latest patterns.

Ger, What did you buy?

OReilly Apr 24th, 2005 06:27 PM

I just browsed Mimi. I would have dearly loved to buy one of the almost brand new Chanel suits, but almost ALL were a size 4-6 :>(

there are dress agencies (consignment shops/resale stores) in london in some of the better neighborhoods where i have seen hermes scarves for about half the price of new. there are a couple in knightsbridge near harrods.

Ladies, thank you for the suggestions. As for EBAY, they have far too many copies being sold as new and even high feedback can't weed out the cheats. O'Reilly, who, what is a MIMI that has Chanel items ??? The new scaves are around $350 in the US and a little under that in Paris due to the weak dollar. Again, thanks for the help !

Lol, ger was referring to me. My name is mimi. The Chanal suits were in the Paris resale shop she mentioned.

Sorry for the confusion Sumerhome :)

Re e-bay, I got stiffed myself a few months ago. Even though the seller had countless positive testimonials from buyers (NO negatives) what he shipped me was definately a copy! A good consignment shop (like Reciproque) will NEVER sell copies, so is your best bet. Have you checked out ones in your locality?
