Thank you Seton, Marie Touchet and Gracekelly. I
really appreciate your help.
First, I'm a newbie who tried like hell to post the pics she sent me by mail : no way (and a headache !), when I thought it would pass : no way, they were too heavy...
Help for the next time ?
They looked perfect, even the texture of the "papier de soie".
The sale has ended, no buyers.
The boy's pants were also another color along with his sweater. I tried to look in the house of scarves photos, there would have been a "dark" blue and "medium" blue but no light blue, which I am sure has been issued. Of course this is no authentification...
Living in Europe, I find the biggest variety of scarves in ebay.fr or .de (.UK has a bad reputation here for perfect fakes) : this with all the potential fakes and god knows I just had a good one, almost lost my dispute with Paypal due to their irrealistic demand of proof. This is long story, but to cut it short, they only accept a fax-sent affidavit from the Paris Service Juridique, Propriété Intellectuelle, meaning that you have to
bring it (sending a fake by mail is punishable) in Paris,
even if you dont live in France. This is really the first step to slowly ban any H sale on Ebay, due to the lawsuit LVMH just won over EB (actually appeal is pending). The ban is already effective for Dior perfumes and other subsidiairies of LVMH. Anyhow,
no H retail store is authorized to authenticate their goods,
only the Paris Head Office...
So, anyway, buying here is russian roulette -french is no problem, on the contrary, I'm losing my english (!), and that shows you the importance of your help,
unvaluable- but the prices abroad (for me = out of Europe) are definitely higher AND customs add a beautifull 25% vat, plus a custom fee. All this goes higher than the store price. Of course, when addicted (I confess), no other way to find your grail(s). Selling here reaches also lower prices (all-in-all lower incomes).
I bidded on the Aquarelle, comparing with a beautiful light beige -pinkish mother-of-pearl one I have, sure to be authentic: it has the "s" on it , it was similar but I did not see the care tag, hopefully I might see it. I think also she meant the date of issue, not purchase. All I know is that this pattern has been joyfully copied...
Again, so many thanks to each and everyone of you specialists for your time and concern to help us, the addicts.
