Thanks so much for taking the time to write your guide about fake Hermes scarves. I found one at a thrift store today and though I had hit the jackpot! It's a FAKE. Thanks for helping me save my eBay reputation. --choozisuzi

Oh where does your AVATAR come from? Its you!

Hi Geoff, thankyou so much for your recent help in identifying and authenticating my Hermes scarves. Thanks for a great service.

Hi Geoff, Your guides are excellent and very informative. I found an Hermes "Festival" scarf in a bundle lot of unused linen tea towels and tablecloths at a threft store today. It has a beige/ivory colorway. I haven't seen that color yet in my research but everything else seems correct;the 3 line care label, the signatures, the hem, the sharpness of the colors. From your guides I do believe it is authentic. Yay!

Thanks for your hard work, this is very much appreciated!

Hi, I recently found a Hermes scarf entitled Muetes. It is hand rolled on the front side and has a pack of dogs on it and a riding hat in the middle. It has a Harrods label sewn on it and I was wondering if this design has been known to have been faked. Any ideas on this? Thanks

I found this guide to be very helpful. I refuse to resale replicas or fakes. There are times that I do estate sales or auctions and always want to assure that the items are genuine. I have tried to take things directly to the store itself and they are not much help typically. I did find the counter woman at Neiman's was very nice and didn't mind looking. Again thanks for taking the time to put the guide together.

Dear Geoff You are a star. We need more of you on ebay. Like you said, they cannot (or will not) police the website and it is a goldmine for fakes ! I have many Hermes scarves and wear them all but buy them in France from one of my reputable dealers. Thank you so much.
