Hermes first issued "Jungle Love" by Robert Dallet in 2000.  Very realistic fakes have recently become available from the Far East.   These fakes are photo accurate quality and hard to tell from genuine unless you have one to compare. They have the title, signature and copyright features in all the right places.   As with Dallet's  La Treve de l'Eau  the fakers have trouble getting the brown just right.  Have a look at these comparison photos....

Genuine...................................                       Fake...........................................

 

1) FAKES have dark muddy oranges and browns..compare the colours above. See how the genuine colours are more subtle.

2) FAKES have a label stuck in the wrong place....you can see it there on the side, bottom right of the fake.  See my Guide on Labels.

3) FAKES are folded in oblongs from the factory and come in cellophane envelopes. Compare the folds in the full sized photos above.

4) Genuine hems are soft rolled, label in corner.......  FAKES have hems that are very stiffly rolled, label in wrong place..

   

Do look at the Seller.  Do they have multiple "New in Box" Hermes scarves on the list of fakes,  at knock down prices, or are they established dealers selling their first "Hermes" product.  Both Sellers should be treated with equal caution.  Have a look at my How to Avoid Fakes Guide.
