Sorry that I cannot offer much help - I can't get a great look at the entire scarf to see if the pattern looks good.

Your photo of the Burberry label is sortof taken from the side - you could try a straight on one.

I can't tell what the fabric is - odd that there is no content tag or it has been removed - also no Made in reference.

We can ask Addy as she is the scarf expert.

Thanks for taking time to check :-) According to the seller, the material is cashmere on the purple side and cotton on the other side. I will ask the seller for a better picture of the label...

You can tell a lot by the fabric - you don't see fakes that are genuine cashmere - can you tell if it is cashmere or not - acrylic has a slippery feel - cashmere feels smooth on your skin for example

Terite, you are an angel. I contacted the seller and agreed that I'll buy it. If it turns out to be fake, she agreed to take it back and I get a full refund.
How do you suggest I authenticate it? I was thinking about taking it to the nearest burberry shop. Good or bad idea? Do they generally approve of authenitcating items not bought in their store? :blushing:

I don't know how you would be greeted at a Burberry store - I have heard all kinds of contradictory stories. I think you would have better luck than someone who brought in a vintage piece. Otherwise, there are online authentication services available.

I would appreciate your expert advice on the bags listed here. I doubt their authenticity and the sellers have not been forthcoming with proof. Thanks in advance.
