Good job on the Napoleon!!! Would have loved to see a 'before' pic. Or maybe not 
I put my newer scarves into the washing machine (with one of those colour catching thingies, in a lingerie net), no problem. But I haven't dared doing this to a vintage piece yet.

Hi there. I recently came across an old Hermes scarf, (I don't have access to a digital camera at the moment but I'll try to get a photo later) and was hoping someone could identify it.
So the scarf is predominantly red. There appears to be some sort of design woven into the actual silk, jacquard I think it's called. It has an Australia theme. Anyone seen or heard of it?

I heard it is ok to use the washing machine, as long as the scarves do not have green on them. apparently it bleeds...

Hi there, I would like to buy my wife a Hermes scarves and found this on the bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=190268830635 . Could some one tell me if this is the real deal. I looked my self on the net and found 4 different versions of this scarves I don't speak of different colors what I mean different writing and labeling. There must be a lot of fakes around.
Thanks Olaf

I've been looking through this thread for cleaning information. There are lots of tips on how to wash, but I have not found any recommendations on the silk wash that people favor. What silk washes do you feel work best? I know about Woolite, but are there any others that are less harsh and more effective? I have 4 H scarves to wash and I want to get your advice. Thank you.

hey jburgh - there is at least one thread on caring for silk scarves in the main H forum. from what i remember, people use baby shampoo as well. hope that helps!
Thanks - I managed to find a cleaning thread. I did order some Le Blanc, LaurieAnn. It should get here in a few days. I got some scarves from Ritz Consignment. They are very pretty, but smelly.
ush:I am new to this but since I am a purse nut (though I collect antique ones) & I thought you guys could help. Some one gave these 2 Hermes Scarves to us as a donation to our Scout troop to sell to raise money for the kids. Since we usually have a tag sale these are too expensive to just put out there I have taken pictures of them. The one with the Turkey was a commemorative issue and has a signature. I actually have an article about the particular artist the did the design. The other I am not not sure if it is real or a copy. How can you tell?
