Hermes - Un Siecle de Courses a Deauville? : eBay Guides

Hermes issued  "Un Siecle de Courses a Deauville" by Hubert de Watrigant in 2003.  It has been quite popular with the fakers and is common on Ebay. They seem to be photo-accurate and hard to tell apart from detail alone.  But the fakes tend to show very course coloration... and it is probably the same fakers that have been copying Dans les Branches de l'Ombu  since they seem to have had rather a large bulk buy of purple ink! 

The general rule is that natural coloured horses and people are genuine.  Purple people and horses are FAKE!!

Genuine................................................    FAKE................................................................

Genuine brown horse, men with brown hair...    FAKE Purple horse, men with purple hair!

See the line of genuine brown horses walking along   and the purple ones in the FAKE...

Use all the tools at your disposal to check out the item and the Seller before parting with your hard earned money and paying designer prices for cheap fakes.

Has the Seller sold any combination of the designs on the fake list recently, or are they a well-meaning but ignorant estate clearance agency. If in doubt, then DON'T BID!

Your positive feedback is always welcome via the Ebay emailing system, or you can leave your comments in my Guest Book.

UPDATE SEPT 2011:  I have just received a note from someone who says that they bought a purple version of this design in one of the Hermes Paris stores.  The scarves used in the examples above had fake labels too and were undoubtedly fake.  So it is doubly important to check all aspects of the scarf before purchase. G.
