There is no infallible way to date a scarf especially down to the collection (SS or AW). Many scarf lists, eg here at purseforum, have the year but not the season. You may get different answers at different web sites.
Options for chasing down the season when it was officially issued:
- do LOTS of searches here and on internet - you may be rewarded if the scarf was from 2000 or later (or so). It is not impossible to identify season prior to 2000 BUT ...
- If it was prior to about 2000, try asking Hermes on their web site - Contact us. They may help with later ones too but dont always reply
- Ask friends but be aware, some people remember the purchase date not the issuance date.
- Make sure you have a large notebook lol to hold all the various (conflicting) info you will find
