Without the above information and current for sale status there will be no authentication
 
this is authentic.
sales scarves retail for 180 EUR. You will see many sales scarves from the spring summer 2011 on ebay as they had been at the sales.
Thank you very much dame de coeur, I really appreciate your help with this. I love Aline Honore scarves and I am still mad I didn't get this one when I had the opportunity. I will keep you updated if I can get it :). Thanks a million!

Dear Authenticators, would you take a look at this scarf please?

Item: CARRE HERMES KACHINAS O.KERMIT
Listing number: 321053035329
Seller: lestresorsduquai0388

Many thanks in advance to the experts !
1) there are not enough photos to feel comfortable giving a 100% thumbs up; 2) to my knowledge, Kachinas has not been faked; 3) the coloration detail DOES match pictures I have in my database.
 
May I ask if perhaps my question on pg 14 (the Cirque Molier one) was skipped for a particular reason? If so, I will know not to pester with a repeat question. It's just that I'm still within the timeframe of returning if it's fake, so I'd like to know. Thanks.
I can't find it. Please give us the post number. Thanks.

fully agree. at least one excellent close-up will be necessary to give a full-hearted thumbs up. And I am sure the lemur is already jumping up and down in the back (as she hunts the fake Kachinas :graucho:, gladly, I have seen poor fakes so far).
And I recommend that you check with seller on the condition on the item (missing care tag is not a major issue IMO).

Thank you Dame de coeur - I will try to get more pictures and do some more research on the condition ! Thank you for your help !

I left out the link, sorry
 
I think this is authentic, but wish the pictures were better so that I could emphatically give a thumbs up. The detail picture with tag and copyright is convincing.

Hi. I would like to share/report that I bought this scarf and I felt it is authentic from my sense too. Thank you so much, sdsurfchick! :)

Could be future ref, so here goes my photo.

Hehe, yes the fakes I've seen of Kachinas have been laughably bad. Kermit is a tough nut to crack for the counterfeiters (and long may it stay that way!). This all looks fine as far as I can see (if you double-click the pics in the body of the listing and click again, they come up magnified). All the detail I can see is good, but I agree with Dame and sdsc that a couple of actual, non-blurry close-ups would be nice.
