From my knowledge, boiling water method seems to be the only method for vintage scarves with color run and unstable dyes. Do it at your own risk, though.

Hi--
This is my first post, so forgive me if I'm asking something that may already be answered elsewhere. I was under the impression that the "C'est la Fete" is only issued in the 70cm. There's a guy selling a 90cm and tells me it's on Hermes.com. I check .com several times a week and there has never been one available there. I know online does not have everything that the boutiques do, but I would have though I would run into the 90cm by now as I've been trying to buy this scarf in every CW I can find. Help anyone? I hate to say it, but it's probably a fake???
Thanks so much!

I don't believe you will ever find one at a store (although have your sales associate check other stores for availability.
Here is one listed on Ebay now, (great CW!) from a dealer I trust:

I am pretty certain "C'est la Fète" has only been issued in 70CM (originally intended for men). It was so popular however, I wouldn't be surprised to see a re-issue in the Fall in 90CM.
If you dont mind GM size, you can still get the Kachinas summer twill at the boutiques.
I agree with you Jahna--they'd be foolish not to! But where did this guy come up with a 90cm currently, if not a fake? He says he got it as a gift, so of course there's no paper trail to back it up.
I thought about that too and asked him to measure. He says it's a true 90cm. His listing price on eBay has gone down from $400+ to $275. Hummmm. Listing #140981727608. Thoughts?
While I am 99% sure this has to be a fake at 90CM (if they had made a 90CM I would have been there in a heartbeat!), ask this question in the "Authenticate" thread. Be sure to check post #1 for the format.
