Thanks! I also found his regular website too. I think he isn't available for EB/USA....

Althought the bird one isn't usual I suspect it is ok. It echos the 2008 set which had a crow over the catwalk. The seller has had a few scarves though which always puts me off.

The multicoloured one looked ok. What a load of tripe she wrote for the auction though. Liar.

Hi - is it possible to tell from just one photo whether this scarf is a fake? Many thanks, x

Just for future reference, this is an Eagle and as I wrote the seller, look at the hooked beak and talons. Crows have neither. The Eagle motif also made it to men's t-shirts. It's beautiful, but it isn't a Crow or a Raven....

Devoted, I personally avoid auctions form Canada and Australia, there are scores of fakes from there. Also, I ask to see the hems. Authentic are hand-rolled, not machine stitched. Also, the price should be a signal. Too low is never a good sign, IMHO....

Does anyone know how much they cost in the stores compared to online sites? On the AMQ site they cost around £250, but ive heard about peole who got (real ones) for around £150.

The classic skull scarves retail for £140, both online (on the AMQ site) and in his flagship stores/official retail boutiques. If you spotted one for £250 it's most likely a seasonal version with a different design or the pashmina scarf. I just checked the official online store again and all silk classics are going for £140.

Thank you. Btw are these two the same scarf? I think the first one looks a little bit more purple-ish..

It's the same scarf. I've seen it in person and it can look more purplish in the store/around artificial light, but in broad daylight it's a truer blue. It's still a beautiful piece.
