Pre-owned Exclusive: CELINE Monogram Arc de Triomphe Wool Blanket Scarf Shawl

Celine vintage shawl - CC milk tea (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎), 100% authentic vintage piece from a past era! If you have any questions, please message before placing an order. All sales are final. Autumn and winter are perhaps everyone's favorite seasons (at least, they're my favorite XD) – you can wear coats, hats, and scarves. Scarves are definitely my most loved item for fall and winter. Even though I already have many in my wardrobe, I always buy more every year! Ever since I fell into the vintage world, besides bags and small accessories, I also keep an eye out for scarves. This is because older styles are more timeless, and the prices are invariably more affordable than modern designs... Unfortunately, finding a vintage scarf that is in good condition and well-preserved is actually much harder than finding a bag! After all, they are textiles, making them more difficult to maintain in good condition than leather. Therefore, I can only acquire a few vintage scarves each year... So, if you're looking for a vintage scarf, seize the opportunity when you see one, as it's almost impossible to find the same style or color again. ⚐⚑˒˒ This is an Italian-made pure wool shawl scarf. It's lightweight with fine wool quality, not too thick, making it suitable for the weather in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Made in Italy, it's also reversible with two colors: khaki and milk tea, usable on both sides! The milk tea color is exceptionally rare! The entire scarf features a full-patterned Arc de Triomphe motif! Although it's a pre-owned item, its condition is excellent, with no particularly obvious flaws, only a slight sense of use. There are no noticeable issues like snags, loose threads, or color bleeding. It also doesn't have pilling problems. Please note that the original tag is missing. As everyone knows, typical brand scarves are not inexpensive, and a simple style like this with a special color is no longer available from CELINE. There is only one piece of this scarf available in all styles, and it won't be restocked once sold. The inventory is truly limited each year... If you like it, act fast! ❍ The photos are personally taken by the owner under natural sunlight. Lighting conditions may vary depending on the time, and color discrepancies are possible. Due to the unique nature of pre-owned orders, all sales are final. Therefore, please examine the photos carefully before placing your order. ⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄⋄⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄ | Rating | / | Size | 130x35cm (There might be slight errors due to manual measurement) | Color | Two-tone milk tea | Material | Fabric ⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄⋄⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄ The main reason I love pre-owned bags is that the leather quality from past eras is superior to that of current new releases. Most pre-owned items from yesteryear were handmade, carrying the warmth of craftsmanship before mass production. The craftsmanship of major brands is many times more meticulous than machinery, with every step exquisitely detailed! However, nowadays, most processes are mechanized and then assembled by hand, lacking the fineness of purely handcrafted work. The most direct comparison can be seen by comparing the detailed quality of classic monogram patterns from older eras with the 'reissued' monogram patterns from recent years. The level of detail in the monogram alone is entirely different. If you love monograms, you should definitely seek out pre-owned pieces! In terms of style, older eras featured simpler, timeless, and enduring designs, while many new styles today are actually reproductions of older ones. However, new items are priced higher than older ones. Furthermore, new designs are typically based on older models with additions or modifications. Ultimately, new designs tend to be more complex than their predecessors. I believe as you grow older, you come to understand one thing: simplicity endures! The quality of raw materials in older items is even better than in newer ones. If you understand leather, you can tell; the materials used in new items are mostly inferior to those from older pieces. This is mainly because high-quality raw materials are now very costly and scarce, and brands back then had very high standards for their finished products. The difference between new and old items is most easily observed in the hardware. The hardware on many new items oxidizes and discolors after just a year or two of use, but this rarely happens with older pieces. Besides the superior materials and meticulous craftsmanship, hardware from earlier eras was often plated with real K gold! This is why even vintage bags produced as far back as the 60s and 70s still have sparkling hardware today! Among the new products available now, to my knowledge, none of the hardware uses K gold. Many people say that vintage bags are a unique form of investment; they rarely depreciate and often increase in value. This is because the number of well-preserved pre-owned bags on the market is dwindling, and each one gone is irreplaceable. Consequently, their prices only go up. Moreover, certain brands periodically increase their prices, and each increase drives up the market value of pre-owned items. Combined with the recent trend of Japanese and Korean celebrities favoring vintage bags, the price of a model can skyrocket immediately after being seen on a celebrity. Alternatively, if a brand releases its own revised or reissued version, the price of the original or even similar styles can surge directly! Therefore, vintage is truly a case of 'buy early, enjoy now; buy late, pay more' (this isn't an advertising slogan... it's a truth in the vintage world...). This is based on personal experience; I regret not entering the vintage world earlier for many collections, as they are now impossible to find or exorbitantly priced even if found... For pre-owned bag orders, you will also receive a complimentary leather care oil (ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ). I use it myself, so I've portioned some into a small container as a gift. Apply a small amount to genuine leather for cleaning and to restore its luster. It doesn't need to be applied every time you use the bag; periodic care is sufficient. I usually take the opportunity to condition them when organizing my closet at the change of seasons (so each seasonal change is a big project... |||). The leather of pre-owned bags is inherently excellent. As long as they are not used roughly and are stored properly, they can easily last another ten years and even be passed down to your daughter! Every pre-owned bag is one I personally love and choose to collect, so I hope you will cherish it and preserve it for years to come ☪︎ *.。 ☾︎.*·̩͙ If you are interested in purchasing, please feel free to message me with any questions.
