I love the Les Pivoines scarves and was wondering if you could take a quick peek at this? TIA marietouchet!

Comments: There's one thing that is bothering me about it but I've seen the same thing on 2 separate pink ones!

The pink Pivoines is authentic. The design came in a million diff shades of pink - not to mention other colors, with/without basket and with/without border

This is a diff cw from mine - which is a paler pink, I tired to upload a pic of mine but the computer gods were not cooperating

Thanks Marietouchet! I've looked at several CWs and the 2 pinks I looked at both had missing dots on the second i. Other colors didn't. Strange!

Hermes scarves are replete with printing issues like that - some features show up more in some cws than others , all colors of dyes dont all soak in equally well,

could be photography issues - my Pivoines is so pale that it is very difficult to photograph and I was unable to capture that detail on my own pic - I took a crummy photo

or heck could just be printing errors - they do happen & do get past their quality control

Hermes would say that is the handcrafted nature of their quality products - that is their marketing ploy & they are sticking to it
 
thank you for your answer marietouchet- I am enjoying so much all the learning and collecting!

I dont have any other photos of Pivoines lacking dots on Is but the lack of one does not surprise me

The printing machine squeegees the ink through the screens - and screens can get clogged , so ink does not go through

Also, sometimes you can run out of ink by the time that get done squeegeeing across the whole design

If you look at the Festival des Metiers videos , you may understand better, but any screen printing video on Youtube basically shows the process, screen printing is screen printing, Hermes is not the only one who does it
 
More missing dots on Is
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTH-HERMES...53950?pt=US_Scarves_Wraps&hash=item2a468517de

It is almost impossible to see in the Ebay photos, I had to blow up the photo using photoshop but yeah no dot on 2nd I.

Did not see this in photos of other cws

And this is the same cw as before , possibly same production run, or at least around the same time

Which would tend to support the idea that maybe there was a printing error - clogged screens, rather than operator error
 
Dear Authenticators, hoping to call on your expertise once again:

Ebay Item: Siam silk scarf 1978
Ebay Seller: anthonysdeals
Ebay #: 291284904508
Link: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/291284904508?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648
Pictures below:

I don't know a lot about this scarf other than Luxury Scarves indicates it was reissued in 1978 and 1980. I also checked HCSI. Haven't found this CW but I know this doesn't mean anything. I also noticed that the copyright varies - perhaps due to the year of issue? Anyways, its a lot of money for a scarf off of Ebay so I just wanted some further assurance as to whether this is genuine. Seller provided lots of pictures (below) (which I think is a good sign). Many thanks!
