Yeah I don't think Hermes ever uses machine rolled edges.

The print is not very crisp and that looks like a chain stitch.

Edit - oops beat me to it.

Had a feeling but thank you all for confirming

Hermes scarves will also have copyright marks.

The edge roll is the big tell: rolled the wrong way (they roll towards the front side on real ones) and the stitching is a mess (the hand stitch on a real one is very neat). There's also no accent over the 2nd E in the name. No copyright mark. And the fabric tag will say "Made in France" or "Fabrique en France" (not Paris-France) and "Soie" or "Soie" + "Silk" (not Seda or Sedie). Then there are things like the direction of the fabric twill and the lack of detailing in the print. Hope that helps!

i don't think the circle c is a must but the scarf is clearly fake , the fabric is wrong and the print is poor
