I beg your pardon for my ignorance just in case if it is actually a Grail of all HGs, but is this scarf really THAT rare to have such a price tag??

Woahhhh... but I don't think it's a typo. There are a couple of Japanese *bay vendors who are quoting sky-high prices. I am slightly :blush: to admit that I actually follow some of these items with morbid interest, if only to vindicate the price that I actually paid for the same item. Example of a scarf that would have broke my bank account if I bought it at this price:

Just found my Grail…

But it's FRAMED. :crybaby:
< passing because I don't know that I'd be able to use it after I got it out of the frame >

Interesting, I always thought this one was gavroche sized (16 - 18 in sq) but the text says the frame is 17 in sq and the square is 12 in sq
Not sure what that means , square = size of hole in mat ? as opposed to size of scarf?
It would not surprise me that this one was noticeably smaller than a gavroche since it was a machine hemmed promo scarf - for the perfume
Love to know actual measurements

Yes, I thought that was interesting too - I wondered if perhaps the matt went over the scarf itself.
I didn't know this was a machined hemmed scarf though! Thank you for including that lil tidbit! :flowers:

Makes me feel like I've got a goldmine in my closet :giggle:
DH used to impress the kids when they were young by showing them banknotes with 1,000,000 on it. Ha ha, it was Indonesian rupiah :biggrin: My currency exchange brain grinds to a halt when there are too many zeros.

There is one Japanese reseller on eBay that bluntly told he has no method or reasoning for the listening price.. he listed at the price he “feels” it’s the best price for the 140cm or 90cm scarves

Here's a picture of what it looked like size wise (worn)- regular pocket square size. I could have sworn I saw one the other day somewhere....but can't figure out where I saw it.

Hmm yes, machine hems on photo, says pocket sized but no measurements, and looks OK from front but a lot of stuff on mannequins is clipped together at the back - not knotted
So, still curious what real size is ..
