Without the above information and current for sale status there will be no authentication
 
I'm very new to Hermes scarves. Can someone help authenticate this one? It looks suspicious because there are 3 scarves like this posted and this has a much lower price. Tradesy doesn't authenticate every piece but using their "robo" intelligence which I'm not sure I can trust:
Hermès Blue and Pink Tea Time Silk Limited Edition Scarf/Wrap Listed By Yawen S. - Tradesy

Thanks so much!

Welcome to tPF :wave:
This is Authentic

*You’re very prudent not to trust the robo authentication... multiple resale sites are rife with fakes.

While you’re here you should check out some of the other scarf threads... we have a very active Scarf of the Day group:
 
Thank you so much turfnsurf! I'll definitely check out the other threads! Happy scarf-ing!

Just a question regarding the box on this one. Have Hermès ever packaged their scarves in window type boxes. Creamy white front with window and orange on the reverse as shown in these pictures.
I've requested more details on this scarf so I understand that the photos aren't good enough to authenticate.

We need a link to an open sale to authenticate, pls see post 1 in this thread for a list of features (title etc) to photograph

We authenticate the silk not the box, as the box can easily be swapped out (real box, fake scarf), sorry, there is no place here to ask for authentication of packaging, so we will wait for photos of the silk and link

Please ask again with the link and extra photos

No worries I'll wait to hear back from the auction house.

This seller has 2 Hermès scarves for sale.
Thanks
Hmmm the signature and copyright look fine, no caretag. The photos are blurred so inspection of hems, printing detail and condition is not possible.
I would give this a shaky OK based on the limited information.

HOWEVER
I used to always say check condition to make sure it meets your needs - that is not at all possible with these blurry photos.

Condition is important to ensure a purchase that will not disappoint. A real scarf with condition issues can be a bad purchase.

Authentication is not a black art, it simply requires clear photos of the features - see post 1 in this thread for a list of features. IF you can check all the boxes on the photos, then buy with confidence.

So, I must reiterate the need to provide the info in post 1.

Thank you I'll ask the seller now!

The seller is apparently selling on behalf of an older lady and she isn't seeing her for a while so can't take photos. That's a shame. I think I'll pass on these scarves.
The other scarf she's selling is designed by Lenke Szechenzyl called Ingrid. I haven't seen this designer mentioned before, it draws a blank on Purseforum. It's recorded on the HSCI database but not on Hermesology.

Thanks for all your help @marietouchet !
