Help Identifying Authenticity and Age of Vintage Hermès Scarf

I recently purchased an HERMÈS scarf from a secondhand market.
Based on the quality of the print, hand-rolled edges, and the woven texture, I believe it to be authentic, but I would appreciate insight from those more knowledgeable—especially regarding the production year and tag details.

• “HERMÈS - PARIS ©” is printed at the center, with a red dot inside the © mark.
• The care tag is a simple folded label reading only “100% SOIE”, sewn upside down.
• Size: approx. 90×90 cm; Weight: about 64g.
• The twill weave is visible—with diagonal ribbing that, to my untrained eye, appears consistent with typical HERMÈS scarves.
• The fabric has a soft touch and moderate drape. At first, I suspected it might be polyester because it feels slightly stiffer than another scarf I own (“Les Clés”), which has more thickness and flow. However, I now believe this one is also silk. Please note this is only my personal impression and not definitive.
• Condition: very clean with minimal wear.

At the moment, I’ve uploaded only a full-view photo, but I can provide detailed images (tags, edges, etc.) upon request.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I’m not an authenticator, but I did buy a fake scarf last year second hand at a flea market in Lyon, France. I’ve gotten better at recognizing, but still not 100%.
Here is a link to a sotheby’s auction for the same design. I can’t tell whether it’s the quality of the photos, but some of your lines look very blurry, so maybe compare to these. It’s called Profile Sellier.
Best of luck!

Hi - might be worth looking at “Profile” scarf in the ScarfSage database - made by Shan-Merry in 1974. The database has your exact colourway as an example, so it should be easy to do a direct comparision with the scarf that you have. I too am not an authenticator, but looking at your photos, the scarf does look pretty good! Kind regards

Thanks so much for your input!

I’ll take a closer look and compare it with the Sotheby’s listing you shared. Really appreciate you taking the time to help — thank you again!

I’ve also added some clearer photos for reference.

I’ve added some clearer photos in the other reply thread, but I’ll also share this full view of the scarf here in case it helps with comparison. I’ll take a look at the ScarfSage database as well and compare my piece with the example listed there. Thank you again for your kind advice!
