I’ve got a couple of genuine, but old, Hermes scarves. They are just beautiful, there’s nothing like them. But, like I said, they’re old.

I also have several “pocket” scarves, very old, which I essentially stole from my mother to wear around ponytails. Same thing, they are gorgeous. Hermes still makes them. Around $125. These are about 5 inches square.

However. These are the ONLY scarves I actually like. And my question is, where are some other scarves that look something like this but are a reasonable price? Because to me, $350 seems like a reasonable price for some things, but not for a scarf. $25-$40 seems like plenty to pay for a good silk scarf. They’re even outrageously priced used, on eBay.

Googling “knockoff Hermes” only gets the bags. Hmpf.

Most of my designer knockoff have come from Chinatown in Manhattan, NYC. Walk down any major street and take your pick.

I have a purse lady out here, but she doesn’t do scarves.
