Without the above information and current for sale status there will be no authentication
 
I would like to buy this scarf which is ending today, but one line in the description made me a bit unsure. It says: ' The details of this scarf would make you think it's authentic. It is'.
It looks authentic to me, but would love to hear your opinion. There are so many fakes of this design, so I rather be safe than sorry. Thank you so much for your time :smile1:.

Well, I tried ... but there was only 34 seconds left by the time I started ...

I had trouble recognizing the cw, since there was no overall photo of the whole of the scarf, just a lot of closeups

Sorry, I was too slow ...

The description was in Dutch, maybe you used a translator to get the English text above ? Electronic translators sometimes spit out awkward phrases

Please don't apologize, I appreciate you took the time to look :smile1:.
I was browing on Ebay and found this scarf which was ending later today, so I completely understand that it could be hard to authenticate within this time frame :flowers:.

I did place a bid on it and I won, as I want a L'arbre de Vie scarf for a long time, and at first sight it did look good to me. It's the cw Rose Pale / Bleu/ Brique.
This is a pic of the whole scarf (not the one in the listing but same cw).
Does that help a little bit? I realise it might be harder without an overall pic of the scarf, but do you see any red flags at first sight.
Thank you so much for your time, marietouchet :flowers:.

ETA, I didn't use a translator, I can read most Dutch language ;-).

You dont understand the stress of this job LOL !

I was working against time, only had 34 seconds & the field color in the photos looked white but you are correct it is the super light rose cw

Some fakes are in slightly different shades so I take my time if a (supposedly) pink scarf looks white in photos

Awesome that you speak Dutch

I can only say I admire and deeply appreciate all the authenticators and the hard work they do here :flowers:.

I was browsing on the Bay (I usually do that on Sunday in case one of my HG's shows up), when I suddely saw this LdV scarf. Only the description made me doubt, not the most attractive description to gain trust IMO if you would like to sell a scarf :p.
And since there are so many fakes, I was not sure, but decided to place a bid anyway.
But now you know which cw it is, what do you think? Does it look ok to you too at first sight?

Lol, my Dutch may be good, but don't ask me about my French (when I am browsing on the French Ebay). My French is awful :p.

OK, I will cheat and give an opnion on a closed auction since you DID bring it up 34 s before it closed LOL

Looked good to me
 
Tried so hard not to look at scarves today on the bay and failed and saw this. Cats with wings!!!!
I don't know if you'll see this in time marietouchet but if you do, I'd appreciate an opinion. I don't have a feel for this style at all.
