This B&W "La Femme ASDV" was sold for $880 even in that condition! I remember a few years ago prices could range $900-$1200 for this scarf in new condition. This piece keeps its top grail status and value.

That is crazy! I might be willing to go this high for this scarf (and I am cheap so that is saying a lot), but not in damaged condition!
I also like how the red Turandot, which is priced at almost $900, on the Bay has like 30+ watchers. I wonder if anyone will ever pull the trigger for that one.
Another grail: http://www.poupishop.com/new-in-hermes-cw02-concours-detriers-shawl-rare.html
really. someone buy it. I have derailed on my 2016 silk purchase plan and it's only February. Heck, acid yellow doesn't even look good on me.

Was the scarf in bad condition? And, is the scarf a "grail" no matter the colorway? Just wondering, because it was never one of my favorite designs.
It's been worn, has wrinkles (based on pictures), has a snag and no box.
Yes, this is a grail design for many (all cw's).The B&W colorway is the most wanted and always commands the highest price in resale market. Maitai calls this her chameleon scarf in her blog. It's my favorite, too.
For me to buy a grail at an "unreasonable" price, it has to be in pristine condition. I have to be the one to inflict the damage!
Thankyou! Off to look those up! Ex libris en kimonos is already on my grail list, totally my kind of pattern 😍
Oh my. I don't mean to fuel the fire. My advice is to look at blogs, tpf etc and see what appeals to you, not to just follow others. These things are so individual. My most treasured Grail was a 70 cm that not many people are interested in other than me and which I purchased for $135.
Yes I agree. And even then I don't think I could ever go this high for a 90 cm. I hope the person loves it 900 worth (shipping was extra) and that the money went to a good cause. I had no idea they sold for so much in the past.

Sounds like the black commands a higher price. I found a pink and beige for less than retail not too long ago. The black is truly beautiful. We all have limits of what we are willing to pay. I guess I just learned what mine was- 900! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
No way! Do you mean you are the one who got it?? (if so you own us action pics
)Whenever I bid on a scarf on the bay I wonder if the other bidders are tpf-members...
Edit: I read the other posts again, sorry for the misunderstanding...
Congratulations to both of you!
Even though neither of these is a grail for me it always makes me happy to see reveals like these. Thank you for sharing your joy, it makes me happy as well.
BTW: you are both great at styling them, have a good time harvesting compliments in real life

No! No! It wasn't me.i meant that 900 was above my limit. No way. Not for a 90.
Thanks for your sweet compliment on my shawl. I was super excited to get it.
Oooh, you managed a knot that shows the mice
Especially like the little bits of pale pink.
Thank you both for the photos!
It makes my decision even harder. There is one at vestiaire for 350€ that I look at every day. white center with orange chimneys, light blue border. Imagine with jeans, white shirt and an orange handbag...
But I already have ather scarves that would fill the gap: there is marche au zambese (white background, orange flowers), There is Voyage de Pytheas with a predominantely white bachground and a greenish pastell border with some orange and the B/W ciels byzantinnes, Jardins d'Andalusie with its oranges and light blue border.
Since Christmas I got 1 CSGM, 2 90ies and there are some of the current season including a Mousssie I consider buying. And I still hope for my holy grail (de la mer in blue) to magically appear. Today I had to pay 93€ customs and taxes for a 200€ ebay bargain
.Seriously, I do not need Toits.
But it is soo sweet...
But the more scarves I own, the less I wear each of them...
But tis CW look s so crisp and cool....
Interest rates get worse every week, better spend my money...
Could spend on something else, I already own enough scarves...
Maybe an orange halzan?
Who am I kidding........
Can one of you please be a real friend and get the one on vestiaire to free me from the temptation?
