Fendi x Maserati collection limited scarf looks fake?

[tacse82]

Dear Community,

I'd really appreciate your kind help with a Fendi scarf I'm planning to purchase. It's a Maserati - Fendi collaboration scarf with the "FF" logo pattern. Item has a tag/label with hologram, seller says it's authentic, but the pattern looks a bit off to me. I did a quick research on the internet and I can't find any info about such scarf, but I do know that Fendi designed cars for Maserati with some special, limited accessories (travel bags, jackets, etc.). 

Of course I'm not an expert, so that's why I decided to hear your professional opinion before purchasing. Below is the actual listing on eBay, but I'll also attach the photos:

Thank you for your help, this means a lot to me!

I can't comment on authenticity but I'd be curious to know how someone would have (at least) 4 of these rare numbered items. (There are 3 available in the current listing and there's a completed listing for one that sold.)

Between the quantity he has and the number of feedbacks for "private" listings where you can't see what was sold, I wouldn't be comfortable.

Also sold: at least 4 Gucci/Fiat scarves.

You are absolutely right, I haven't noticed the quantity, but it's really suspicious. In the meantime I've found this seller on a local site (here in Hungary) where he listed this same item for a much lower price (about 25EUR). I'll contact him personally and ask about the origin of these products. At this point I'm quite sure these are fakes, but I'm just curious what's his story. 

Thank you for your help, this info about the quantity helped a lot.

And wow. So many fakes (and questionable items) out there - unfortunately.

That tag appears stickered on for starters! It must be sewn.

And call me finicky, but it also strikes me that anyone actually working for Fendi should be expected to invest at least a small part of whats probably a generous paycheck to invest in an English-Italian dictionary so they can see that the word 'authenticity" is supposed to include a "ti" in there somewhere.

Good eye, @fashionclubgurl !

That looks real. The hologram on the sticker is usually what is found on Fendi Maserati auth. scarf.

The item was indeed fake and this seller only sells fake items - a shame. This hologram is just a nice try to fool buyers to spend money on something that's probably worth nothing. @fashionclubgurl has amazing eyes and noticed that there's a misspelling on the label which is absolutely ridiculous (see photo above, it says "authencity" instead of "authenticity"). Needless to say, but luxury brands do not make such mistakes - the question is definitely answered and I'm glad I didn't purchase this item. As @albertabrightalberta suggested, if something seems odd (like 4 quantity of such rare item, surprisingly low price, etc.), it's probably a shady seller. If it's too good to be true, it's not true. That simple. If you're not sure, ask professionals like I did. Thank you everybody again for your answers, you are the best.
