Can anyone please help me authenticate this McQueen scarf that I bought off of eBay?

I've bought this McQueen scarf off of eBay, and I'm not quite sure whether or not it is a fake. Bare with me, I have little knowledge about McQueen scarves in general.

Alexander McQueen's name is printed on the scarf.
The label says
"Alexander McQueen
MADE IN ITALY"

On the back of the label there is an "extra" tag that says "Dry clean only" on one side and "100% silk seta sone - Made in Italy"

I hope the pictures provided are enough. :)

Hello

This isn't an authenticate question but more about which collection a scarf comes from.

I have a McQueen scarf which is labelled as 2008, it came from McQueen near Oxford, UK. It is a pinky burgundy, quite a deep colour. The skulls are made from a paisley design and a less busy paisley border goes around the edge. The skulls are gold with tiny accents of green, as is the border. I have the chiffon 1m x 1m and my mother has a heavier silk version, the same size. I haven't been able to trace any similar scarf online and McQueen showed the merest hint of paisley in FW2008 mens collection; the scarf apparently came from SS2008. These are definitely women's scarves as they're labelled as shawls. The codes off the label for the chiffon are:
2008 3 U
8030978723
205733010Q6275
FO Paisley Skull Chiffon
EFCO8000042

I'll upload photos if I can (the scarf is currently stored in muslin in my archive box.

Thank you
 
I think I got scammed by Zappos.

After reading some of the other TPFers post on their McQueen scarves, I'm thinking of returning the McQueen scarf I recently ordered.

Please help me authenticate this: It's grey threading on a white label for a black and white/ivory scarf. I tried the best I could capturing the scarf label in pictures without flash.

Please let me know if I just purchased a fake.
