Without the above information and current for sale status there will be no authentication
 
You should never go for a recent scarf without photos of ALL the features, they don’t all have to be perfect or available, but you need like a 90 % batting average.
And going for a scarf based solely on a store tag is dangerous, a recent poster here did not receive the store tag after purchase.
Modern designs do take a lot of effort, and I often get TURFNSURF to help, and we text behind the scenes, for what seems like hours on one scarf
I so appreciate all of the advice and time given here. Thank you 🌹
 
The one at TRR lacks photos of the features, see list in post 1.
The red one on EBay is authentic, and looks to be 90s ish
Thank you!! The Realreal shows the copyright symbol after Hermes Paris at the bottom center (rather than a separate text) and the artist signature is at lower right corner in the burgundy background, but not high res enough to see clear detail of it.

So many secondhand scarves, so much research.. really appreciate it

That’s odd. The pics look fine on my monitor, not tiny at all. I’m attaching the photos here. Thanks.
Another newer design that takes a lot of time to assess, I cannot zoom in on the tiny pictures , there are lot os them,but details are required

Hello dear authenticators,

Could you please tell me if this En Liberté ! looks/is authentic?
The seller insists that the color of the hem is aubergine, but if I remember well it's black, and it looks black in the pictures.
Thank you for your expertise.

Scarf name : En Liberté !
Seller: Mauve1610

I dont see any red flags, I see the copyright, signature and caretag. But, photos are frustrating - haphazardly presented, upside down, inaccurate colors (?). It is a busy scarf - color blocky, and once folded/rotated it is hard to discern what is going.. And the colors in the photos seem noticeably off. There is a lot of navy blue (no purple) on my monitor - see photo with caretag, ughh the colors in that photo. Well, there wasnt a scarf with navy blue, there was one with an inky purple, some black and a distinctive teal/cobalt . I suspect the photo colors are inaccurate.

You're absolutely right about the colors, I suspect the seller used a filter to heighten the contrasts... If not, is that possibly a fake despite the caretag, the copyright and the signature?
Sorry to disturb but there are more and more fakes, and I'm more and more suspicious...
Thank you so much for your help.

I can’t answer that for you , you need to make a decision for yourself , look at seller’s return policy for ex. It is a new scarf without store tag… look at price … what is your budget ? are you a risk taker ? How badly do you NEED this scarf?
I can’t make a definitive answer based on the awful photos, at this point, you either take a chance or not, but your decision.
This thread tries to give definitive answers but that is not always possible. I try not to overuse the request for “photos per post 1”
