Dear authenticators, I suppose it‘s a futile question because the scarf has none of the usual markers of authenticity to go by. But maybe somebody in this community actually owns the scarf and can chime in:

Scarf name: Châle Damier
Listing number: 28432459
Seller: P
Link: https://de.vestiairecollective.com/...rmes/bunt-leinen-hermes-schals-28432459.shtml
Comments: I own this design in two cws, the composition of the fabric is 70% cashmere and 30% silk. Yet the seller claims the composition of his shawl is 70% linen and 30% silk. A photo of the care tag has not been posted yet, even though it has been requested. Can it be possible that the same design has been produced in different fabrics? Or is it just a fake? Does anybody know if this very unusual scarf has been faked? It looks good to me but the supposed composition with linen and silk has thrown me off. And I do not know what Vestiaire‘s reaction might be like if I bought the scarf and it turned out to be a fake. I‘ve read lots of unpleasant stories about their customer service.
Sorry, but the scarf features are not shown for authenticating

I thought Hermes could repleat them?
Hi - came across your inquiry. Hermes indeed can repleat the scarf; for that, you will need to bring it to the H boutique for the scarf to be send to France for repleating. it will cost $150 usd and up (I haven't inquired in a while) - could be more due to recent price hike. Alternatively, if you are in the US, you can send your scarf to Tie Crafters in midtown Manhattan - they specialize in taking care H scarves and can repleat your scarf. Last time I inquired it was around $100 USD plus you will need to pay for cleaning - approx. $30 plus tax. It could take a couple of weeks - depending how busy they are. You can get their information online and call the owner - friendly and knowledgeable guy, knows his stuff. Good luck.

So, including tax, title and license, repleating is $150 - 200
I get asked about pleating mostly for older vintage scarves that have lost their pleats, a $100 depleated 1980s scarf might not be worth the while but a new 90 at $500ish is a better investment of the pleating costs

Sure! I think it would depend on the design as well. If one has a scarf which is a grail or has a sentimental value, and which has flaws/stains/flat hems and isn't presentable to be worn as flat 90 anymore, repleating might be an option to consider. I had an old vintage scarf which had flat hems (my pet peeve) so I was initially considering pleating it thus was doing my homwork:) But then decided that the $$ spend wasn't worth the scarf and I abandon the idea at the end:)
 
Hi,

Hopefully I've posted this correctly (haven't been on here for a while) Please would someone authenticate this Hermes Candy Doll Twilly:


I would like to be sure as this colour combo isn't available on the Hermes site and it's not much cheaper than buying one new.

Many thanks

Not sure what to say, I don’t own one and all those on internet seem to have no features shown - beats me if any are copyrighted
Workmanship is nice - piping is well done
I suspect the extra Hermes tag is bc the logo is not printed on silk ?
I would be lying to say there is anything other than a store tag that is useful for authentication
 
Hi there!

I’m eyeing this Hermes tea time scarf in navy and could use your help :smile:



Details look good to me but I’m suspicious because I never see this colorway in google searches and on their official channels and communications (see below).

Would you say it’s authentic?

Well …
1. There are always mystery cws that appear, only an SA could tell you if they are real
2. I would like to see back side of caretag
3. Yes, there was a navy cw, but it had yellow background Hearts, as in your graphic above
4. Maybe hs for sale has washed out hearts ??? That look white not yellow in the photos ?
5. Ask seller to measure size, it really 70 ?? PS scarf in photo looks like a 90 to me …. But determining scarf dims by photo is an imperfect science

Ps links to Vestiaire are always flaky , I am decent at hacking and sometimes get there with a lot of effort , but maybe I am looking at wrong scarf - bc has several tea times
The two of us are having issues with the link and item nbr

I’m trying to locate this one to lend an additional set of eyes, but link takes me to generic VC landing page & searching item no. comes back with ‘Not Found’ msg.

Please provide name of Seller* so I can make sure I’m evaluating correct navy Tea Time.

*This is why following format in Post#1 is important

The quality of Seller’s images aren’t great and they’ve provided no official H documentation for this color way.

After much deliberation we can only say “Proceed with Caution” on this one.

I am not the original requestor but was folllowing your exchange. I wanted to ask the authenticators - the hems on this scarf look a bit off - the finishing is not as tidy as usual - would this be a concern too? Thanks!
