Hermes Scraves ~ Vancouver's Upscale Consignment Store for Men & Women



Once Again Resale and OnceAgainOnline is the ultimate resource for authentic Hermes scarves. As the leading consignment store in Vancouver, we are proud to present these brand new in boxes, 100% authenticity guaranteed Hermes 90cm twill silk scraves.



 They all share one quality: individuality. Screen printed and hand-rolled, a serge weave with diagonal parallel ribs is used to create twill silk. For the rest - design, colour and knotting style, be unique! Here is a selection of Hermès 90 cm scarves. Take your pick!



One of Hermes most recognized products is the silk scarf. The first silk scarf square in the Hermes collection was produced in 1928, and in 1937 a dedicated scarf factory was established in Lyon. The modern Hermes scarf measures 90cm square, weighs 65 grams and is woven from the silk of 250 mulberry moth cocoons. The per-pound cost of a scarf today is approximately $1965.00 (compared to a pound of steel at $0.19).



All Hermes scarves are hand-printed using multiple silk screens (43 is the highest number of screens used for one scarf to date, the charity scarf released in 2006, one of earch color on the scarf) and the hems are all hand-stitched. Two scarf collections per year are released, along with re-prints of older designs and limited editions. Since 1937, Hermes has produced over 2500 designs.



Famous lovers of the Hermès scarf included Queen Elizabeth II (who wore one in a portrait for a British postage stamp in the 1950s), Grace Kelly (who used an Hermès scarf as a sling for her broken arm), Audrey Hepburn, Catherine Deneuve, and Jacqueline Bouvier Onassis. More recently, Sharon Stone, Sarah Jessica Parker, Hillary Clinton, Mariah Carey, Elle McPherson, and Madonna have all been photographed wearing the scarves. Notoriously, Stone used one for bondage in the film Basic Instinct.

The Hermes scarf is one of the greatest fashion icons of all time. Worn by royalty and celebrities, coveted and admired, and now avidly collected, this deceptively simple square of silk is much more than just an accessory: it is the stuff of legend.
