Hey everyone! I would love some help authenticating this scarf? The seller says it's vintage and was a gift from her mother when she went to Italy. Any input is appreciated! ❤️ 🙂

Sorry, but this scarf is fake. The poor quality of the print & logo signature are the first indicator; adding the misspelled French, broken German and unspecified "wool" type on the label are the definitive proof.
FYI, the French commonly omit accent marks on regular words when printed in CAPS; e.g. CHANEL & HERMÈS typically use none on caps in their content/origin labels, but always use accents on lower case & correctly, i.e. FABRIQUE EN ITALIE or Fabriqué en Italie — but there is no such word as "FABRIQUÈ / fabriquè" with a grave instead of the correct aigu/e-acute [É, é]
Needless to say, luxury designers like CHANEL would never produce or sell anything with misspelled French on the label (nor would their scarf manufacturer, Mantero); only non-French counterfeiters make errors like that.
Since fine details can always be printed perfectly on fine fabrics, authentic Chanel signatures always match the crisp lines, shapes, angles and spacing of their trademarked logo exactly (both CHANEL & the double Cs), regardless of vintage.
Check out the scarves currently listed on the CHANEL site to see how their scarf signatures match their unique logotype as they always have (whether it's on silk twill, cashmere, or cashmere & silk): http://www.chanel.com/en_US/fashion.html
