I am a total newbie with Hermes scarves, but the jungle love & robert dallet's designs made my heart stop. I fell hard.
However, the 140 is unfortunately out of budget & online there is only 90 rainbow available. I do not like anything rainbow. The blues are incredible though.

Where can i find scarves by this amazing designer?
I think i am way too nervous to go the ebay/fashionphile route.
Any advice?
 
There are trusted resellers which you buy from with confidence. Or you could stalk the H.com and hope that they push out some stock from previous seasons.
Those designs are all past season? I am so new to this, i didn't realize.

Where do I find these trusted resellers ? I looked on ebay but im very wary of getting scammed; firstdibs didn't have anything.

@HKsai i never have been to an hermes store so no sa to ask

I wouldn’t worry about not having an SA-just contact your local store and see if they can help you source one of the scarves! That’s how my scarf obsession started....I saw this scarf I really wanted while travelling but it was no longer available on my country’s online store and I live 3 hours away from the nearest local store. So the online staff suggested I call the closest H store and one of the lovely SAs was able to source it for me! It was also a previous season scarf. I warn you though....you may not just end up with one scarf it’s a very slippery slope
 
For preloved authentication, we do have a scarf authentication thread & some very kind and lovely people helping out there in case you didn’t know!


There is always the chance that H reissues / puts out new scarves from the designers you love in the future too, but obviously that’s no guarantee. If there is one particular scarf you saw & love and want, I say go for it. Best of luck!
 
@momoc as far as authentication is it always needed? Like if i buy a scarf at one of the websites that @HKsai mention do i need to get it authenticated? Or only from ebay & similar places?
And do you buy first & then authenticate or use the online listing photos?
Sorry I have never done anything like this before & don't want a costly mistake!

As @HKsai suggested, try for a Dallet Equateur wash from a few seasons ago. This is a favourite Dallet design of many - indeed my favourite Hermes design of all time. The Canadian website still appears to have a selection of colourways so if you ask your SA to do a worldwide search (assuming you're not in Canada) she/he should most likely be able to track one down for you. Good luck.
I also have experience with the Poupishop as a reseller for Hermes and have been very satisfied.

If you follow the link that momoc shared you can read on page 1 the full request requirements. Most authentication threads on TPF require an active link to item for sale PRIOR to purchase.
Have fun shopping!
 
Hi !! I was super hesitant to go the preloved route also, but I fell for so many previous season designs that the only way to procure then was through resale.
I agree with the two sites above and have bought from both. Matter of fact Jan is an authentication contributor in that thread. I recently acquired a bee jacquard jungle love from her site that is on its way to me. She has a sale going on now, and had a few jungle loves. I’ve also bought from https://exquisiteartichoke.com/ and from https://madisonavenuecouture.com/collections/hermes-scarves

If you shop on eBay they both have eBay postings But you’ll save some money buying directly from their websites. Also utilize the authentication thread when unsure. I’ve had great luck posting Poshmark and eBay finds and getting help from the contributors there. I also search my scarves in google Shopping to understand what a fair price is for a particular design if it’s a bidding situation. Hope this helps !
