Hello, aside from Space Derby does anyone have a catalog or knowledge of all space-galaxy themed scarves and twillies? Thank you.

Not entirely space-galaxy themed, but there's Space Shopping au Faubourg that came in 90cm and 45cm gavroche/pocket square.

There's also 100cm cashmere/silk from the Men's called Hermes Galaxy from Autumn/Winter 2020.

Hi everyone! Newbie here and I have fallen HARD into the world of Hermes scarves. Two questions for the community. First, what is the best way to find a previously released design that I love? Do you trust eBay with authentication, or just stick with the sites previously mentioned on the forum? Second, any advice to an Hermes scarf newbie? Anything you wish you’d known earlier?

Thanks!!

Hi - eBay does not authenticate scarves per se. If you buy a scarf and it is not authentic, you can open a claim, but they won’t authenticate anything for you before hand. Poshmark and Vestiaire will authenticate- but those aren’t fully reliable. I would say the best approach would be to educate yourself before you start buying in a second hand market. There is an excellent page on Facebook called Hermes Scarves Guide. It has plenty of helpful information to guide you - what to look for, caretags, colorwaysc etc. You can also use authentication thread on tPF for any active for-sale listings. In the beginning, try to stick to reputable sellers on eBay - read feedback, review the details on the listings and do your research. Feel free to DM if you have any questions - will be happy to answer.

I've never noticed a difference for my 90s silks, and I only have AW CSGMs. I read somewhere on here that there is a noticeable difference between the two seasons, though I can't find that post anymore. Does anyone know if that is the case?

There used to be a difference in the Summer/Winter 140 silks. The Winter was twill and heavier, the Summer flat and thinner. That was the only one I can think of.

Agree. I think the term “summer” weight silk was a euphemism for “light” weight silk, which some people might consider a derogatory term since Hermes uses “only” thick silk.
H has used other euphemisms for light weight fabrics, eg muslin.

hi everyone. I just fell in love with the Planifleurs 90cm scarf in black.
I live in Brazil and here it is avaliable on the website.
Next month I’ll travel to Europe and as far as I could research, this model is no longer avaliable in Italy and Austria (the countries that I’ll visit).
I am new to the brand, so I need advice.

Is there a chance to find previous seasons scarves in local stores? I ask this because the price is better in Europe. But if the chance is remote, I’ll buy it here. I think Christine Henry’s art in this scarf is sooo beautiful…

I agree, your best option is to buy from the website now. Depending on the timing of your trip, or your ability to remotely coordinate returning the parcel, you might be able to meet the return window if you find another in your travels. Good luck, it’s a lovely scarf!

Since 2019, the Eurozone H sites no longer tally with the UK site.

Thank you all for the advices! I purchased it online today, can’t wait for it to arrive, it will be my first ever Hermes Scarf. And I think it is such a work of art, Christine Henry’s art is wonderful, all the scarves she made for the Brand are out of this world…
