Marietouchet, thank you!!! You are incredibly knowledgeable and I appreciate your response.
Really, are some scarves offered in-store only? Ugh, now this scarf is in a very grey area!
Again, thank you for your detailed reply. Xx
Offered in-store only ? More like only in certain markets
An example is easiest. Each store selects which it will have in store. And sometimes they run out of a popular one. Diff store = diff selection, diff CWs, diff designs. Two boutiques in the same city may have diff inventory. Some CWs are not popular in some countries diff skin tones. Green & orange & yellow are not NOT universally popular colors - diff skin tones in diff countries.
H has diff web sites for diff countries in diff languages - diff inventory at each. You will see people here say I found this on the China H site or the Denmark site/brick and mortar store.
So the online and brick and mortar stores only have a limited selection from the collection. Theoretically, if you search enough web sites , you might find all the CWs.
But, most people are like me, I check 2 or 3 sites, then I am done - I cannot read Chinese/Japanese so I ignore the Chinese site(s). I admit to having knowledge of MOST but not all of each collection.
At TPF, MOST of the cws are seen - NOT ALL.
Had an authentication issue about a rare CW of SIESTE - it was not on this site, the production was late - after orders had been placed and site(s) built. So, IMHO it was real but I pointed out to the prospective buyer that it was not on the CWS here - people would challenge it. Not only are there fakes that masquerade as real, but rare real ones that people will question, esp if you go to sell it.
I encourage people to take a h.com screenshot of theirs, for provenance
PS and looking at my photos ... it is hard to tell a red scarf from a deep orange one, so, if you say yours is Hermes box orange then you may get a diff answer here than if you said it was tomato or vermillion, photos are deceiving on exact shades of colors - your photo was a bit dark...
There was BRIGHT RED BRAZIL MT per H USA site, that I would personally call ORANGE - your is not it.
If I search mine for the keyword RED, I get a diff answer than ROUGE, CARMIN etc
.
