Authentication?

[hawleigh21]

So i bought a couple of burberry scarves at an estate sale to sell on here but I'm not sure about authenticity.  This is the first luxury item I've come across s a reseller so I'm not sure about spotting fakes. Any recommendations?

@hawleigh21  The fashion board can help you out with that. You can direct them to this thread, through the forum mods may just move it over there for you.

@hawleigh21 : I didn't have many doubts until I got to that tag. (Next-to-last photo above) It's as fake as the day is long. "Equestrian" is misspelled as "Equestnan" and "major markets" is misspelled as "majer markets." Fake, fake, fake.

The reason for the odd misspellings may be that the tag was reprinted by someone squinting at English lettering who didn't know English, misreading the letters "ri" as a single "n" and a small "o" as an "e" instead. These are errors made by someone who is trying to pick letters by their appearance rather than by how the word is spelled.

Omg I didn't even notice that!!! Thank you so so much for pointing this out!

Good catch! I didn't read the tag, just know that there are people on the fashion tag which are good at Burberry - which is highly faked, yes.

Stitching on the tag is way crooked and overlapping.
