Without the above information and current for sale status there will be no authentication
 
Hi All,

After a long year of no buy, I took a look and the scarf I have been eyeing for a long while is on ebay. Would you please be able to help me authenticate it. I've been reading up on how to spot fakes but I am a new collector. I'm concerned that the care tag is black and not white and also that there is a stain/defect (which seller claims is from manufacture) on the Hermes logo.

Item: Splendeurs de Mahrajas II
Listing: 184696039107
Seller: Midori Originals

Thanks so much

Thanks so much
I don’t see any red flags on this.
The blot does look like manufacturer dye, though I’ve never seen one this large before. It’s up to you whether it’s acceptable to you.
-Best of luck

My vote is for a grease spot which might be removable since the spot , to my eyes, does not look uniform in color
in my vast experience , LOL, grease spots appear in corners, due to meals at three star Michelin restaurants ?
who knows it is a spot in the corner and may not come out
 
Hi. This scarf is authentic. It looks to me like a mistake/spill was made during the application of the sale stamp, in which case it will not come out.

Thank you! I love the scarf and the little BB doesn't bother me too much. I mostly wanted to make sure it was authentic because I haven't seen a blob like that before.

Thank you so much authenticators! You guys rock!!
 
I got the scarf!! Woohoo so excited!

Today the same seller listed another one from the same collection. I've spent hours pouring over it and comparing it to the one on the FB Hermes guide album to verify no detail is missing. It looks authentic to me. Before I hit the button though I thought I would confirm my hunch here.

Wow. Seller provides awesome pictures. Can even see the faint "S" sale mark. This scarf is authentic. I also checked detail for authentication purposes and it passed with flying colors. You should check pictures for snags or other issues that could result from handling during the sale process.

I have spent way too much time on this twilly. I also have never seen this tag on a scarf but it sure seems familiar to me. Anyway, what I have found is that Fashionphile had at least four different listings of this thing, which is troubling.

Hi Authenticators:

This is a listing by fashionphile and I am wondering (aloud) about the care tag :


Your input will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello, could you please take a look at this scarf? I tried to compare with online photos but the white cw seems a bit different from other cws that I could fond clear photos of.
