For many years, I've gone to Bergdorf Goodman and looked at the Hermes section, filled with ties from their current collection. Behind this area, on the way to the escalator, is a wall of ties from prior seasons, which they were forbidden to discount or return.
Imagine my surprise when I went there this week to find a substantial quantity of Hermes ties at 60% off. There were maybe half a dozen different designs, but they were $69. I got one with little mountain goats standing on alpine peaks, in green and brown. They had another one that I liked with little bowler hats on it, but I decided that I should stick with my tradition of one Hermes tie per trip to New York.
