Bad fake. Wrong font & layout "logos", fake design poorly printed with cheaply machined edges (typical on polyester fakes).

 

"PUTRI KOLEKSI" has nothing to do with Versace, it's apparently Indonesian for "Princess Collection".

 

Compare the original right-justified GIANNI VERSACE sans serif typeface:

marchio-versace-04

The machine-stitched hem is a clue that yours is not a quality scarf.

P.S. Although cheaply machined edges (merrowed, overlocked etc.) are often the easiest giveaway on designer fakes, it's also important to remember that the quality of fabric or finish alone can never be considered proof of authenticity.

 

Counterfeits are made in every grade (from very poor to "AAA" replicas) and all illegal regardless of "quality".  That's why careful examination of  all design elements, graphics, print, logo mistakes, tags etc. are necessary for proper authentication.
