Hi! May I ask for help to authenticate this scarf and the box please?🥺



Actually I'm more concerned about the box🥺

Because the scarf care on the back of the box top is upside down (I put the explanation on the picture) & I see no hermes logo stamp all over the box under the UV light...

sorry I have no experience with Hermes scarfs🥺🙏🏻

Thankyou so much in advance!

Thank you for the additional hi res photos - the MOTS DE SOIE 45 is authentic.

As to the box, I have no opinion and don’t authenticate boxes. it is too easy to match a scarf from one time period with a later/earlier box. Sellers often deliberately pair a bare scarf with a box (that was lying around). Not dishonest. Box authenticity does not imply scarf authenticity or vice versa.

The UV light ID trick is something I have heard of. Or, maybe I heard it was a black light, I don’t remember. But, I don’t have a UV or black light. I don’t know the exact DATE when they started doing the hallmarked boxes, either, but the box date may not match the scarf date.

You are on your own for the box, sorry.

I don’t see any red flags, I would prefer a photo of the caretag , laughed at the photo of the bag , listing does say WITH TAG , I assume the caretag not the store tag

Dear authenticators:
I would appreciate your opinion on this one:
I have seen silk versions that have a (C) right next to the Hermes-Paris header, this one doesn’t but there appears to be a small copyright at the bottom of the scarf.

Name: Cols Vert
Listing: 2836506750
Seller: RL
Link: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anze...iehe-artikelbeschreibung/2836506750-156-22840
Authentic, an older format, a 90cm cashmere blend. Yes, copyrights move around from issue to issue.

I don’t see any red flags but the photos are deficient, no closeups of anything and I hesitate to recommend any scarf based on store tag alone, since it is detachable and sometimes does not arrive with the scarf , ‘lost somewhere in shipping?
