Description
Authentic Hermès New Libris stole in signature 'Orange Hermès' colorway. Crafted from a luxurious blend of cashmere and silk, this oversized wrap features the iconic Ex-Libris medallion jacquard pattern. Finished with short fringe at the edges, this versatile piece offers a lightweight but warm drape.
Key Features
Iconic 'Hermès Orange' color; large wearable size (approx. 75 x 210 cm); classic Ex-Libris jacquard pattern that is recognizable to luxury collectors; high cashmere content.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: Medium. Indicators include the specific jacquard pattern scale and the 'Hermès' signature woven into the design. Red flags: Absence of a care tag in the photos and the appearance of high-sheen synthetic-looking fabric in the lighting (though this can be the silk content). Authentic stoles have very crisp, fine fringe.
Flaws to Note
Extensive wrinkling requires professional steaming; several visible thread pulls/snags in the delicate jacquard weave; fringed edges appear slightly tangled or frayed in areas.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
The RealReal or Vestiaire Collective for authentication services; eBay or Poshmark for higher direct-to-consumer profit if authenticity can be proven via internal care tags.
Selling Tips
Must be professionally steamed before photography to show its true value. Take high-resolution macro photos of the care label and the woven signature. Specifically list 'Cashmere Silk' in the headline. If significant snags exist, mention they can often be pulled back through by a professional 'knit doctor' or tailor.
