Item: Auth HERMES Scarf Handkerchief Gray Silk 100% Made in France Vintage P01976b
Listing number: 331045690760
Seller: brand_jfa
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331045690760?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Comments: I love the tile-pattern scarves and even though this one has certainly seen better days, I kind of like the colors. What bothers me is the sharp black network around the tiles -- I don't know if that's an artifact of the photo or if it's real. All the other pictures of this scarf that I've been able to find show more subtle "grout" lines, which I find more attractive. Does this one look right to you?

Thanks for your opinion, ladies.
 
Dear authenticators, please help me authenticate this beautiful scarf I got at a charity shop for $3. I did a search and couldn't find one with a contrasting hem or a green/pink colorway.

Item: Hermes Cavalcadour silk scarf by H. D. Origny 34.5x34.5
Comments: pictures taken by me. Possibly rare colorway? Never seen a brown tag before.

Thank you again very mic for your time!
I think this is authentic. They started using brown tags in 2008. The only thing that gives me pause is I don't remember any issue of Cavalcadour having a contrasting hem.

Hi, I'm considering a couple of scarves:

Item: Mecanique du Temps
Seller: Dougm13
Item Number: 331049900649
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331049900649?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

or in the purple colorway:
Seller: hrcjones
Item Number: 171156224566
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171156224566?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Comments: A little worried about the low-ish feedback from these sellers and have never seen this scarf in person.

Item: L'ART DU TEMARI
Item Number: 321231733663
Seller: gaia1751
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321231733663?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Comments: I hear this scarf is faked often? I'm looking for a purple scarf and I like this one.

Thank you!
I think the first two are authentic. I also think the Temari is, but there are good fakes of this design and would like DDC to agree.

I searched high and low and couldn't find one myself.. Maybe it was some kind of a special edition (not sure if they make those?). Thank you very much for your time and for the good news:flowers:.
