Authenticate this ALEXANDER MCQUEEN SCARF *Post Your Questions Here*

[Kittie LaRoche]

Hello,just wondering if you were able to authenticate your item posted on 18th April? I do have a similar item and will love to know how you got on.

Hi there,

sorry for the late reply. I was busy with work and am now on holiday.

I decided it wasn't worth the time and hassle and simply returned my scarves. Thus I can't help you out I'm afraid.

If you happen to find anymore answers I'd be happy to hear them though.

Hi! I just got this Alexander McQueen scarf that I bought from yoox.com. But I'm not quite sure that it's authentic, so could someone here help me?
TIA

Oh, and it's (supposed to be) the Tudor Rose scarf.

I have now done some tests to see if it's real silk, and it seems to be genuine in that way..

And now I've seen that yoox only sells authentic merchendise, so never mind (I don't know how to delete the messages, so if an admin sees this, please delete, so that I don't miscredit yoox..)..)

Hello!

I purchased what I was told was an authentic McQueen scarf but after purchasing I started having my doubts. There's a lot of signs: the R of Alexander going over the U of McQueen, and the price tag and product code which do not have any results when Google-ed.

Some photos are attached.

Let me know please as I will have to report it to paypal for a refund if it turns out that i'm right. Thanks a million!

I'm leaning towards fake from the AMQ writing. Can you post a picture of the skull just above :alexander mcqueen".

I also confirm this is a fake scarf, no doubt about that.

I will post some pictures of authentic scarfs (both skull and fashion) in the next week; aswell as the tags that go with it. This should give you an impression on how an authentic scarf should look like.

Thanks you very much soleilbrun, gunsandbanjos, and Rumm. I was granted a return from paypal so all should be fixed soon. I appreciate you all for answering!!

Here's a quick guide I made to find out if a scarf is real or fake.

First of all; the pricetag. Alexander mcqueen pricetags come in two sizes (sunglasses got different tags, if you want I can upload pics aswell). There's a tall one and a less tall one )

As far as I know the tall ones come with scarves and accessories, the less tall ones come with clothing.


The back of the pricetags should look like this:


Sometimes a plastic bag is included, if there is this is what it should look like:


Also the cord should have a "c" inside of a "Q". NEVER will there be "mc" inside if the "Q"


Can't say too much about the tags on the scarves itself, they come with different stitching but should resemble the following:


Some scarves have "alexander mcqueen" printed on them aswell (not all scarves though!) when this is the case the "A" should be aligned with the "M" and the "R" should be aligned with the "U"


Sometimes you will encouter a MCQ Alexander Mcqueen scarf. The is an underline of Alexander Mcqueen and isn't made by the famous fashion house. Though they have some nice items (I personally own 25+ MCQ items) and they are very affordable. Keep in mind that also these items are being replicated. The tag should look like this:


MCQ Alexander Mcqueen items will never have trademark symbols like the skulls on it!

I just want to add that the older McQ line before it was revamped in 2011 had similar labels to the main line so you can still find pieces that have the plastic tag but with the Q with the Mc in it.
