People are going to absolutely hate me but I collect hermes scarves lol. I dont have a ton but i have access to a shitton of them secondhand for (relatively) cheap through work. I enjoy a lot of the designs and collect them and resell them for waaaaaaaay more money.
My work gives me access to a lot of extremely nice clothing I would never be able to afford otherwise and I take advantage of it.
Extremely controversial for hexbear im sure lol. At least its all secondhand.
If you’re not hoarding them for “investments” I don’t really care. My main gripe with collectors is that they make things more expensive for everyone by reselling at absurd values
Well i guess a big difference with the streetwear/sneaker reselling is that its on contemporary releases.
A lot of these scarves i have are 20-40 years old. Their release window is well up and whats out there is out there. Prices can still get pretty astronomical based on how limited/rare it is, and if its a popular scarf artist, and ehat condition it is. Which doesnt really make it took different than normal antique sales.

You probably know all of the reasons that I'm not a fan of resellers, but like fancy brand name scarves are not so much a necessity for poor folks as jeans and shirts and shoes. Although thrift stores aren't really thrift stores anymore and more like boutiques so I guess the point is moot. sighs
I just looked em up and some of those hermes scarves are really cool! I love Pashmina ones, they are so cozy for fall
I had a really sick pashmina I would wear to shows in winter and its been lost to time sadly. Very comfy! Also kept me warm during some film stuff lol
Hermes has thousands of designs they have done and while a ton are comically bourgious scenes (I actually find it very funny) some are out of control sick. Highly recommend "Dies et Hore" and "Ceres" by Francoise Faconnet, and "Mysterious Rider" for a modern one.
They are extremely nice and light and are easy to wear anytime and i get compliments all the time. Its fun albeit expensive hobby. And i have never once set foot in an actual Hermes store lmao.
Nah, get that bag. Rather a comrade enjoy it than that surplus value just get horded
Seems fine to me honestly
This is kinda how I'm starting to feel about me collecting vinyl records. I love them, and love my collection, but sometimes I sit and I'm like 'what's the point?' but then that feeling expands outward to life in general, and I'm like... whatever, I'm gonna keep collecting my big inefficient music.
But at least you'll have music when the furries turn the internet off on us.
