I've just received a lovely "Libres comme l'air" in finesse. The seller no longer has the H color info, and advertised it as navy and gold. It seems to be actually black (which I prefer anyway). It has a fabulous contrast hem in gold. Does anyone know the actual CWs that were issued for this?
Here it is compared to "Astres et soleils" in finesse (black and silver, no contrast hem).
Thanks for your help!

Hermes makes a lot of dark blues - anything from a mid blue to a dark inky blackish-blue
Lots of people have different opinions about blacks & blues - what is black to me is blue to you etc, depends a lot on the lighting eg fluorescent ?
Thanks, marietouchet. I was curious about the officially named CWs. No matter! I guess when I wear this with navy I will consider it navy, and when I wear it on black, it will read as black! Very useful scarf, in that case!!
The finesse scarves are interesting. The reverse side is solid color.
First timer for Hermes Scarf! Hope some senior here can help! I recently bought a Hermes scarf fr Carousel and after 2 weeks then I realised that authentic scarf should comes with the care label. I bought it fr an expat working in SG and she guarantee to me this was the authentic piece bought by herself fr Hermes Boutique. Can u tell me is it possible that authentic scarf doesn't come with care label?
Sorry, but we ask that only live auction/currently for sale items be submitted for authentication, and only in the relevant authentication threads; this is not an authentication thread. If you are concerned about authenticity, please consider using a paid service.
Thanks.
Newbie and hermes scarf addict! Thankfully this insane obsession for these scarves has remained with the 90 cm carres. Anyway, there is an unknown substance on my scarf. It has mildly dis colored the front and completely taken the color from the back. What should I do? I am scared to even take it to the dry cleaner. Any advice is appreciated! (Sadly, I have no clue what the substance was😥

The spot may never come out but I would try washing it with a bit of spot cleaning first - I use SHOUT IT OUT - it is worth a try This refers to the whitish blob on the front - near the white antelope
This design is so busy that the spot will not show hardly at all
The scarf ties identically along the two biases so, just tie it the other way - so that the spot is folded inside, not on the hanging corners

Just to add to marietouchet's excellent advice... if you have never washed an Hermes scarf before, check tPF threads or the Internet for specific instructions on how to do it properly. Here is one good link: http://mylittlescarfblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/cleaning-hermes-scarves.html
The two most important points to remember: when you're finished washing the scarf, do not wring it out. Just gently press the water out of it. And when it's dry enough to iron, do not iron the hems.
Good luck!
