Hi guys, I'm not sure if there's a section to authenticate Alexander McQueen but since I can't find one, here goes.

Could someone authenticate this McQueen skull scarf?

All of them are fake, unfortunately. You can always tell by the tag.

Here's a pic of a REAL tag (I am the owner of this scarf, purchased at NM):


And here's a pic of a FAKE tag (I bought this on eBay and it's fake, I got a refund):

Just to back up what lorih says, all of those are fake

Thanks Mooks!

OMG! Thanks guys! Even with the fake ones. They were not easy on the price.

These acarves are so faked now, it's hard to get real ones on eBay. You're better off calling the stores in NY, LV or London, or trying to get them at Barney's, Net A Porter, etc.

The London store generally has the most stock in my opinion.

Hi - wow! what a fabulous forum!
really appreciate help re this Alexander McQueen Novak.
I actually found this forum through link on the seller's listing on ebay, so I guess that's positive...

I'm very suspicious of the fact that this seller has many new high end bags, stock photos and non-detailed photos. I'd wait for more opinions, though.

Linking to this website or stating that you are a member of tPF in an eBay auction does not hold any guarantee of authenticity.

Why would they be selling bags that retail at around £1,000 for £450 and accepting offers on that price too??

As Lorih pointed out it makes me suspicious that they have such alot of high end items and at knockdown prices with some of them listed using pictures off Yoox too

They also have a recent neg for selling a fake Paul Smith item

Another thing I just noticed is that some pictures have different backgrounds to others.....could be stolen pictures....

thanks guys - i think i'll hold off.
on looking through their feedback they seem to buy a LOT of luella stuff. and over a very short space of time. something doesnt seem right...
thanks again x

Hi guys, I don't see any thread for authenticating Alexander McQueen so I'm hoping you guys could help me on this. So hard to find an authentic one.

TIA

Please ask the seller to provide you with a clear close up of the sewn on black tag. That's the best way to sell.

As lorih says we need a close up of the tag but from what I can make out of the tag it looks fake

I have one of these in black with white skulls (def. authentic) and I would say this is a fake. The tags look weird and the overall texture is off. Can't really explain why, it's instinct I guess.
