Hey all! I purchased these piece from the UK however the tags look a little off. From all the research I’ve done, I can’t seem to find this suit either. Can anyone shed any light on whether these are fake or real?

Thanks!
Pia

I am not an expert. But those labels dont look right to me. The stitching of the labels look horrible. I also do not like the font on the labels themselves. I am not sure on the spacing between the C and E, it is supposed to be close. But the A's and the N should be the same width. The a's. look narrower than the N, if that makes sense.

I have my doubts, but wait for others to come by.

I should add, it may be the camera label that makes the font look wonky. But the stitching in a mess and should not look like that.

We completely agree! But the buyer is a reputable source so we’re confused! Thanks for your help. I’m hoping we can get more clarity on this.

I've compared the label in question to the label from a silk scarf.

My observations. Although the labels are close, there are differences:

On the label in question, the C is touching the E. There should be a small space
The A's are slightly skinnier than they should be
There's too much space on both sides of the ampersand
The "R" registered trademark is smaller than it should be
