Cheap designer fakes on eBay.
I first visited Ebay five years ago, looking for an Hermes scarf as a gift. Two hours of looking at listings soon left me confused. There seemed to be a lot of items for sale that did not look right, even to my untrained eye. Five years on and far too much time spent on the Internet leave me fairly confident at spotting Hermes fakes. I hope to be able to pass on some of this information to other innocent Ebay users, to help them avoid paying top designer prices for cheap imitation goods. Please have a look at My Guides on the easy way to avoid the worst blunders, and some close up looks at some of the most common fakes regularly being listed. If you find the guides helpful then please click on the YES box. This moves them higher up the GUIDES AND REVIEWS list and makes them more accessible to others. You can leave comments in the Guest Book, and contact me through the Ebay mail system. Remember to give me your email address if you want me to reply! Thanks, Geoff.

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

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!

I am not aware that "Meutes" from 1971 by Philippe Ledoux has even been faked. The Harrod's label from that period is also a good sign. So I think you have a good find there!

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.
