Comments:

This is also a Space Shopping scarf, albeit in a different colorway. The seller is Maison de Luxe, so clearly a known reseller with a good reputation, but I just wanted to run this past you, just in case! Thank you! :smile:
On space shopping, the scarf features - signature , cp etc are on dark parts of the scarves, difficult to photograph, pls do ask for better photos, and caretags are often hidden by the laminated tags, annoying …

on colors at artist site - he sometimes posts pix of art that never made it into silk, so the cws at his site are interesting but not acid tests, artist photos may be of artwork on paper not on silk, ditto for all the other artist sites

on general color look of silks …. Photos almost never get the EXACT hues correctly … if that is important to you, then check the seller refund policy - can you return if it does not suit ? … describing the colors here via words or photos is fraught with inaccuracy

Oh dear, I dont see any red flags, nor do I see enough green flags ...

Some photos seem to be copied from the Hermes site, - so yield no info about the scarf for sale - useless for authentication
Useless photos of box and tissue paper, receipt holder
Nice photo of sales tag, unfortunately the sales tag covers both sides of the caretag - which is the case when the sales tag is intact
I do like the photos of the logo and title
The copyright and signature cannot be seen in the picture of the flat - I tried , they might be absent ?

You might try asking for photos of the copyright and signature

Honestly, the magic formula for authenticating is get photos of ALL (KEY WORD) the features - cp, logo, title, caretag, sales tag , if they are all good, then you have a winner but without half of that ... A key point is that the cp and signature need to be PRESENT, I cannot even determine that, sorry

Thank you so much! I did question whether the signature would be visible enough for authentication - it's in photo 6 but only in the very far upper right. Apologies, I should have gotten the better photo before posting here. I've requested photo of the copyright, signature and care tag. (I'm not actually sure where the copyright is on this scarf, but I've asked for photo anyway.)

Btw I have no clue of the correct weight of silk on this one, this tag does not say , nor does the h web site - where it says wash twill - weight not stated
this could be a std thick twill or a summer weight twill
it is a spring summer design so one might guess summer twill but who knows due to COVID
maybe someone could chime in … what is the weight of the 2021ss 140cm wash scarves eg Kelly en perles, pegase d Hermès cut and this one , summer or std twill ?

I can actually add this info, as a few of the helpful scarfies have been discussing this previously. See quotes below.

I think we are theorizing that this is washed plume silk (aka summer silk / the thinner one) instead of washed regular twill silk.
:thinking:

I think the US website just describes this as washed silk, but there was one other country's website that had washed plume in its description...forgot which one though...

Muslin silk feels like mousseline. Acinonyx Jubatus wash silk feels like regular wash silk twill on the 90s, but the fabric is half the weight. I actually weighed my wash scarves and did the computation.

agree I am guessing it is a summer twill … I know it is asking too much for the website to tell us …. Takes all of the mystery out of things

it does bug me that the US site does not accurately state the fabric on the site, it is haphazard if they say plume, vintage silk, abeille jacquard, quadrige jacquard etc and of course, the Nepalese plumes are different to the one made in France … end of rant
