You will need to follow form for an answer. Form per p.1 in this thread (Dec 20 2012) or below:
1. ALL Authentication requests require an active link to a currently For Sale item.

2. Before you submit a request for authentication, please make sure listing includes necessary photos. If listing lacks these details- ask Seller for extra photos prior to authentication request.

Necessary Photos*:
Title, Hermès Paris, artist signature, copyright, hems (including corner), fabric caretag, close-up of fabric weave, and full flat scarf photo.

*Identifying marks may be absent on some scarves. Include as much as possible on list that is present on scarf in question.
(Authenticators might request additional pictures and/or information in order to assist with authentication.)

4.Use the following Format to submit request:

Scarf Name:
Listing number:
Seller:
Link:


Please also note:
  • It is the buyer’s responsibility to assess condition and decide if it’s acceptable.
  • Prices, valuations and details will not be discussed.
  • It is the preference of the authenticators on this thread not to give authentication to members who buy and resell scarves as an ongoing practice.
  • It is also the preference of the authenticators to give authentication to members who post in a range of threads, not just requesting free authentication services.
  • If your request is not answered here, for whatever reasons, professional authentication services are available outside of PF.
  • Authenticators are not required to answer every request, some may not be answered for various reaons, and it is their right to ignore a request.
  • Please do not intervene to confront a troll or rudeness on the boards, just use the REPORT function to alert the mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a mod can intervene.
  • Always be respectful when you post and treat others as you expect to be treated.
  • Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.

ADDED - refer to pink zebra scarf in previous post

Unable to say anything better photos needed per Post 1. No closeups in photos

I am repeating myself but hopefully this helps , trying not to be too long winded
1. @turfnsurf and I do lots of due diligence of fakes, THEY ARE FRICKING AMAZING anymore.
2. I know this one was faked, I wanted a pink Zebra for myself and checked em out
3. It is different for recent scarves than for older ones, say, with older style caretags
4. POST 1 says it all, we - yes, both of us check recent designs - we need closeup photos of like 7-8 features
5. We look to see if a scarf meets say 90 percent of the criteria. Ful disclosure even H does not get everything right all the time. If you get say 6/7 scarf is ok, but we may still respond with a few caveats ( I would love the see the backside of the tag … )
6. If a seller shows 3 features that are OK, hmmm, that does not make for a SOLID authentication, we need more

It is of course, diff to authenticate with the scarf in hand, you can check EVERYTHING and the hand of the silk is important - although the fakes seem to be that right too , if you have ever felt a fake

Sorry for the dissertation

Hi Authenticators! What do you think of this:

Scarf name: Mountain Zebra
Seller: kuzycin on Poshmark
Link: https://posh.mk/C9KQ6E2mFAb

I recently bought a really good fake Mountain Zebra on Poshmark! Was listed as 90cm Silk..everything(signature,Hermes etc)looked good in pics. It showed up as a 110cm or so Cashmere/wool blend. It was just never made in that size and it was a real hassle to get a refund. I had to show pictures(with receipt) of my other one purchased at Hermes on top to prove it was fake.

THANK YOU! Appreciate the education. I’ve asked for additional photos but this price point does seem too good to be true so exercising caution. Again, thank you!

I think I remember that listing. If you zoom on pic on the listing, it was noticeable that it was not silk but cash/something blend. It was never made in cash to start with. I also got burned with Hippopolis once on Posh - it came in 140 and with thinner silk but I had to admit that the print quality was pretty good. I returned it; also had to go throught the hassle of taking pics for comparison, etc.
