Without the above information and current for sale status there will be no authentication
 
Hello! I know there aren't sufficient photos here for authentication, but does anyone remember CSMC coming in this CW?

Name: CSMC 90
Seller: The Real Real
Link: https://www.therealreal.com/product...ermes-a-cheval-sur-mon-carre-silk-scarf-grblz

And similarly, does anyone recall this Jardins d'Hiver with contrast hem in this CW? I do not ...

May I suggest you use another thread for your queries eg scarf identification
yes, there are not enough details to authenticate as per Post 1 of this thread And we try to be consistent with the level of detail required for analysis
it gets confusing to say some cw might have been manufactured but there are not enough details to be sure if scarf is real

Will do - thank you!
 
Dear Authenticators, I'd love to have your opinion regarding the authenticity of the following scarf.

Item: Les Clés Silk Scarf

Listing number: HER497103

Seller: The RealReal

Link: https://www.therealreal.com/product...s-and-shawls/hermes-les-cles-silk-scarf-gi242

Comments: I’ve seen this scarf so many times and to my amateur eyes it looks legit. However this design has been around so long (I’ve heard since the 1960s) and re-released throughout the years so many times in various colorways, I then wonder can this be a good quality reproduction? Also, The RealReal has been publically exposed for not really having knowledgeable authenticators. No tag, just two pictures provided, shady if I do say so myself. Having said all of that, I really love the color.

Thank you all for your help
 
Looking for more eyes. I am just not sure Since I don’t know Oliver’s very well. I have seen this blue/green bordered cw on other peoples sale photos and it looks much more vibrant in theirs and this sellers looks off?? Not sure if there is another more muted cw out there that I am confusing as the same. Also, these same images are used on other listings from Japan also, which I never get and makes me unsure.
thank you

Wasnt sure if this is a request for authentication or for information. I will answer both possibilities

AUTHENTICATION - The CHEYENNES needs better photos, see post 1 in this thread. It cannot be authenticated as presented.

CHAT/INFORMATION
I understand this topic is of great interest, but is better handled elsewhere, other threads or DMs. See my comments on the same subject in the post previous to yours.
That gets confusing and sellers can be unhappy with negative comments on the photos of (what may be a real) scarf (that cannot be authenicated due to lack of photos).

PHOTO REUSE As to seller reusing photos, this question is better asked on the Hermes SELLERS thread. Give URLs of various sites
reusing the same photos. That would stimulate discussion.
COLORWAY LOOKS OFF - this often happens - my photos, for ex, never have the same colors as yours of the same cw. You might ask on the SCARF ID thread for people to post other photos of the design, or ask for people to show all the cws of the design.

Thank you. It was a request for authentication. I didn’t feel confident to hit buy.
 
Hello, I’m a total Hermes scarf newbie but have fallen in love with a some of the older designs. I’d be very grateful for your views!

Plumes en Fete


Marble Silk Brides De Gala - From looking at various photos online I am not sure whether these have all the usual hallmarks requested in post 1, also the seller doesn't seem to have room to lay out the entire scarf flat. Hope these will suffice!

PLUMES EN FETE is authentic.
Marble BDG… Hmmm these are one of a kind scarves, variations from exemplar to exemplar. PLUS no printEd features, as you surmised. Not much to go on, and the marble scarf has been faked. But, I don’t see any red flags to say fake
if I remember, seller says invoice is available, ask for a copy, it would not mean much to me being in Chinese, but might help you
PS I assume the xtra photos are from seller, though sale shows only 4 photos

Thank you very much - I'm very grateful for your generosity with your time and expertise!
On the BDG, yes, I'd requested additional photos from the seller since I wasn't sure if the ones on the website were sufficient. Seller has also sent me a photo of the invoice, which in fact is in English. Would this provide any additional insight for you in terms of red flags, etc.? (I don't have an invoice I'm able to look at for comparison, unfortunately. . .)

It is indeed a receipt for the scarf type that I think the one for sale is, based on colors on stock numbers
it is perilous to base an authentication on an invoice by itself since it is so easily separated from the silk
I am being extra cautious as this scarf price is well above retail for a basic 90cm and it is a one off - you can’t identify based on it looking like other exemplars
The marble scarves just have no printed features that you can hang your hat on for authentication vis photo/internet, and yes, I would like to see photos where the scarf is flat - no extra shadows, but I am too picky
I would talk to the seller about the return policy

Hello and hoping for some thoughts on this version of Astrologie.

Name: Astrologie
listing: 134066576231
seller: hk_idstudio


Thank you for any assistance you can spare.
This one is very appealing to me because of the colorway, particularly the corners, but I'm also nervous because I don't remember seeing this colorway before.

I remember the cw, I can barely make out the features but they are all in the correct place, so, I vote authentic despite the lack of third stitch on the caretag

Many thanks!! The seller did manage do to a flat photo (though not entirely without shadows) in case there's any additional insight that can be derived. No refunds, sadly. . . And yes, understood regarding the difficulties with this particular scarf - if I could get this directly from Hermes, I would definitely do so!
