Addy should do a scarf size inventory! (Not an expert on measurements of scarves.)

The label looks good. As a generalization, years ago scarves were smaller - but this is not an older style of label - so it could be a kid's size - search around the internet to compare - search for children's burberry. Ask the seller to send you a photo of the scarf laid out so that you can get a better image. Some people might like the smaller size.

hello authenticators, I would love to get your opinion and help with this scarf as to whether it is authentic or not. I don't want to spend time and money cleaning it and trying to rescue it if it isn't. I can tell it was it either dry-cleaned and pressed or washed improperly before. Thank you in advance.

Interesting. The tag looks like it could be right, the scarf looks wrong.

Give it the cashmere softness test and get back to me.

Meanwhile how is the tag attached to the scarf - send photos of the inside flap of the blue label.

Thank you for your reply.


What is the softness test? I've done some tests that I've found online such as looking for an itch under the chin (which it doesn't and real cashmere isn't suppose to itch), looking for a sheen in the fabric (which it doesn't) and looking for pillings (which it does). However, the scarf is not exactly soft and thick. It feels very flat, thing and light. As I mentioned, it looks like someone took an iron to it or had the dry-cleaners press it flat.


Oh and here's the image,
