Hermes Pale Green Silk Pochette Scarf Pierres d'Orient et d'Occident - Portero Luxury
The search for online vintage items is a fickle thing: Sometimes the find is great and sometimes it’s far less than what you hoped. Ebay is a good start, but I have discovered a better place.
Portero Luxury is one of the best places to find luxury items for a fraction of the cost. I’m not sure how many people are in the hunt for Hermès scarves, but I was able to get it at a decent price. It’s a Pierres d’Orient et d’Occident pochette scarf by Zoe Pauwels, which was originally issued back in 1988 (from what I’ve read, and I don’t claim to be an expert by any means). Granted, it’s not a shawl, stole or large scarf, but it is vintage Hermès.
Portero labels their items by their condition (examples: Good, Fair, Very Good, etc). This scarf was labeled “Pr” for “Pristine”, meaning it was never used and came with the original box. Portero stands behind their authenticity or you get your money back. Plus, there is no bidding. Everything is has a static price.
I will always use Ebay for my initial searches. But if you are in the market for vintage items that are guaranteed authentic, give Portero Luxury a try. It’s the difference between hoping and knowing.
That is a gorgeous scarf! Can’t wait to see it in person =)
I’ll wear it again, but I have to take it off to show you because it really is smaller than it looks. But it’s vintage Hermes, right? 🙂
