How To Wear
While most modern women appreciate the beauty and handwork 
of a Hermès scarf, many of them struggle with how to actually wear this accessory and make it work with their wardrobe and lifestyle. In fact, the possibilities are endless but they do take some creativity and persistence to figure out the best approach. Some women wear it on the head, around the neck, draped over the shoulders, tied around the waist or even dangling from the strap of a handbag. In addition, Grace Kelly used a Hermès scarf as a sling for a broken arm and Madonna once wore one as a halter top in a video. Hermès produces a guide with some of these and other suggestions and even offers illustrations to demonstrate how to wear it. No matter what technique you select, the scarf needs to be secured in some way, either with a knot, loop, brooch or scarf ring. (Hermès sells scarf rings meant for this purpose.)
Where To Buy
You can find Hermès scarves through the Hermès website or through its numerous boutiques located around the world. You can also find them in high-end vintage stores and on Ebay. Just beware if you buy from an unknown source, as many counterfeit scarves are out there.
A “real” Hermès usually has a white manufacturer’s tag if it is a light-colored print, or a dark tag on a darker print. In addition, according to a Hermès spokesperson, some of the scarves are soft and some are stiff, depending on the processing time used for the production of each one.
Some of the genuine Hermès scarves you will find at a discounted price may be from the company’s semi-annual sale, which is held in Paris and also occasionally in New York. These scarves are marked with an “S” stamp on the back side of the fabric.
What It Costs
If you buy a scarf from a Hermès boutique, you will know you are getting the real thing. You can also expect to receive the first-class attention and service that is standard in such a high-end setting.
The experts say that the cost per-pound of a Hermès scarf comes out to $1,965 which is quite an investment. The good news, though, is that one scarf is actually significantly less than a quarter of a pound. The price varies depending on the size and the fabric.
