It is no secret that the cost of a high-quality silk scarf (especially the original from Hermès!) Can be very high.

And finally, at the final stage, the finished product undergoes rigorous quality control. It may seem that this stage is the easiest to overcome, but in practice, censors do not know pity and really screen out scarves that do not meet the standard by 100%!
