As I was browsing through the scarf rack at Salvation Army this beauty caught my eye so I picked it up and then saw Hermès - Paris printed on it. I immediately started to tremble and thought to myself "No way!" The price? $1.99. Apparently people in my po-dunk county have no idea who the heck Hermès is. I chuckled as I was ringing up and saw a clutch in the glass case from Banana Republic with $9 marked on it. How funny is that? Not that I'm complaining about paying $1.99 for Hermès!
It turns out this beauty was made in 1962 and the artist is Jacques Eudel. Vintage score!
So I'm pretty proud of this find. I got a few other things too but not as exciting as this!

Wow Kassi, what a lucky, unbelievable find! To think that it may have been lying there for so long and you were the fortunate one to find it. At least this lovely scarf has now found a home with someone who will appreciate and cherish it!
ReplyDeletewow congrats! that's so cool!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I've never thrifted, but I'd love to try it. but i think it's not very popular here in Germany especially in Munich where I live....
How do you find thrift-shops/parties/meetings? is there an internet site?

WoW! What an amazing find!!! I found a vintage Pucci scarf the other day. Unfortunately, the shop I was in knew it was Pucci, and the price tag was $65...needless to say, I didn't go home with it :(

I LOVE this scarf! =D I found a Ferragamo scarf with zebras all over it. Though I still ended up paying $10 for it, I figured it was worth it for the real deal (I did my research, too)! =) Nice find!
ReplyDeleteOMG! NO WAY!!! you lucky girl! The scarf looks great and in good condition too! You have a great eye for style!

WOW Kassi! OMG I cannot believe an Hermes scarf ended up at the salvation army! i took a look and immediately knew this was the real deal, the colours are still so vibrant after 40+ years. It's amazing, take care of it and it'll last you for years to come. Do dry clean it because once you wash silk it's the end of it. the colours fade and it's wrinkly. enjoy :)
ReplyDeletelove this scarf!
ReplyDeleteThis one is a score!!! I actually saw a Hermes scarf once as well, however that one had a really bad stain on it, so I passed it up :/... but WOW! congrats on this vintage beauty! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!

It is so gorgeous, vibrant and beautiful! Great deal! My best find was a quilted black Chanel purse. I couldn't believe my luck!

Nice! This is why I need to go thrifting (still haven't gotten around to it - pretty much ever). I can't wait to see how you wear it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf! I live outside ATL where we have access to a TON of designer stores, etc. so I frequently find Elie Tahari, Armani, etc. at Goodwill. However, my most recent "bargain" is a black label Ralph Lauren tan/black houndstooth pant suit. The blazer is a classic fitted, single-breasted, double-button style and the pants are classic flat front! I'm 2 sizes larger on top than bottom and this suit was the exact size for me! Even the length of both the jacket and pants were perfect---like it had been tailored to me! I paid $9.50 for it and $9 to have it dry-cleaned= total cost $18.50 for a suit that was probably around $1000. It looks brand new, like it was never worn!
ReplyDeleteAmazing find!
ReplyDeleteWish i was as lucky as you are when it comes to thrifting..
Following you, return love back?

AMAZING!!!! The scarf section of my local thrift store is the first area I visit but I've never had such a great score! Can't wait to see how you style it.
