Any info about vintage scarfs would be appreciated.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have a vintage silk chiffon tan geometric scarf 20" x 18" approx. and a navy silk scarf with flowers 19" x 19 that the labels were removed. The condition is good. (Disregard white line from table in silk chiffon photos)
Does anyone recognize anything about them? They might be from a upscale designer/store like Brooks Brothers, or women's Paul Stuart line. Any information about them would be appreciated. I am not looking for a valuation or estimate but was wondering if I could ask if there scarfs are basically common and not in demand. I have heard the larger scarfs are more popula.

silk scarves are common but that doesn't mean people don't buy them. Obviously certain designer names carry high prices, but good quality silk scarves will sell in my experience, if someone likes the pattern. I don't recognise anything about these, but you can still sell them without knowing who made them.

I'm not sure from the picture, but possibly the floral scarf is a silk crepe, which is also a nice thing, and worth mentioning if you sell.

I always check if a scarf (silk or otherwise) has a hand-rolled edge, as that is a sign of quality. Discerning buyers know this and will look for it. I can't tell from your photos whether yours are rolled, or machine stitched flat.

Thank you for taking the time to reply with such helpful information--especially letting me know that even if I don't know the designer someone may still be interested in scarf. I will take a closer look at the floral scarf and try to discern if it is silk crepe. Also, thanks for the info about the hand-rolled edges.
