Scarf Care Tags

[Sus]

Couple of questions:
1. Do "s"s on both sides (right and left) indicate a scarf that was sold at a sale?

2. What determines a long care tag versus a short care tag? Type of scarf??

sus, the embroidered 's' on the ends doesn't mean a sale scarf -- the sale 's' is stamped in ink on the tag or the scarf.

the long, thin tag is older than the shorter, chubbier one -- but i do still see in on mouselline stoles.

here's some more info on both topics from one of my favorite sites:
