Please also note:
  • It is the buyer’s responsibility to assess condition and decide if it’s acceptable.
  • Prices, valuations and details will not be discussed.
  • It is the preference of the authenticators on this thread not to give authentication to members who buy and resell scarves as an ongoing practice.
  • It is also the preference of the authenticators to give authentication to members who post in a range of threads, not just requesting free authentication services.
  • If your request is not answered here, for whatever reasons, professional authentication services are available outside of PF.
  • Authenticators are not required to answer every request, some may not be answered for various reaons, and it is their right to ignore a request.
  • Please do not intervene to confront a troll or rudeness on the boards, just use the REPORT function to alert the mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a mod can intervene.
  • Always be respectful when you post and treat others as you expect to be treated.
  • Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.

Without the above information and current for sale status there will be no authentication
 
The hiver is authentic. Hsci lacks photos of every design in every CW, in every issue. There are some 75,000 variants and hsci has 5000 photos ?

That said, pls send hsci photos of your authentic scarves , I did ! I am proud to say that lots of those photos came from moi ! Send more !
MarieTouchet,

I know HCSI lacks photos of every design but they are still the best reference site - I always check the site to try to get a feel for the scarf before coming here. Your suggestion to post pictures to HCSI is excellent.. I will start doing that (and thank you for your contribution!).

Thank you again

I know the HSCI webmaster and she would be delighted to get more pictures !

She uses only donated photos, not stolen.

She has been given a few photos by scarf (re)sellers but the bulk of them is from owners, not sellers. I know because about 20 % of her photos came from me and my friends.

Item: Twilly Scarf
Listing number:
Seller: A second-hand retailer in Vancouver
Link: http://s1371.photobucket.com/user/Shawn_Luo/library/Hermes Twilly
Comments: Hello. I am just wondering is it possible to authenticate a Twilly Scarf from a second-hand seller by friendly guys here? I created a phtobucket link for your reference. Please let me know if you need more photos. Or please also feel free to point out my mistake here because it seems to me that only Ebay trade can be authenticated here.

I really appreciate it!

Sorry, we only authenticate items that are currently for sale, places other than Ebay are fine with me.

Without this restriction, I would be spending my entire life authenticating every scarf in everyone's collection :smile1:Not enough time ...

Thank you for the information marietouchet. It would be good to have more up there!

Thanks for your reply, marietouchet. I really understand that and sorry for the vague statement before. I am intended to buy this scarf from a second hand retailer. But since it is a private trade, there is no ebay or other formal link for it. So I asked the seller to provide photos to make sure it's authentic.

Please still feel free to let me know the restrictions here since I am newbie in this forum. I really appreciate the effort you are making and also understand that if my request for authentication would not be met.:D

I think marietouchet pretty much covered this off, but we don't authenticate if there is no live link to a current sale. Photobucket pics or private sale pics won't cut it; sorry. In general, our preference is also to authenticate for members who post in a wide variety of threads, not just asking for authentication help.


Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks, mistikat. I will try to post more threads in this forum in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience I made. And many thanks to marietouchet for the elaboration.
