You make a good comparison for sure. Your labels look good - but you are correct to ask where they were sewn on originally, and they are NOT sewn on in the right spot. I would have expected a blue label on this style of scarf also - so I am not sure - I will go check something and get back to you - how wide is it? Is it cashmere?

Hello, my friend recently bought this bag. She asked me to find out if it is real or not (she doesn't get online much). I don't think it looks quite right, because the sides do not align, and lining and canvas all are a bit thinner then I'm used to, the lining feels very very thin....but it uses ykk zippers and the hardware is engraved, and the bottom lines up, so I wasn't 100% certain. She asked me if I could please find out if it was authentic. Thank you!

Hi
Can you please take a look at this clutch? I've never seen a Burberry bag with the "3Y" marking on the zipper head which makes me uncomfortable with this bag and need an expert opinion.
Thanks so much for your help

Send a clear photo of that Burberry stamp - and the stamp on the end of the metal cord - any writing on the lining? It looks like leather - is it leather?

The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.
READ THESE RULES BEFORE POSTING A REQUEST
This is a free service. Our authenticators are volunteers providing their opinions, and who desire to keep counterfeiters and dishonest sellers from profiting from their trade, and to help buyers find authentic items. Authenticators are not required to answer all posts and, for various reasons, some may not be answered.
It is the preference of the authenticators on this thread not to give authentication to members who buy and resell bags. It is also the preference of the authenticators to give authentication to members who post in a range of threads, not just requesting free authentication for designer items. If your request is not answered here, for whatever reasons, professional authentication services are available outside of PF.
1. Do a SEARCH and check if the item has been reviewed by one of the authenticators before posting a request. Searches can be done via the seller name or by auction/listing number - add * to the beginning and end of the number (eg. *12345678*).
2. You MUST use the format below when requesting for authentication for auctions or non-auctions:
Format to use for an auction item:
Item Name:
Item Number:
Seller ID:
Link: (please make sure link works after you post)
Format to use for non-auction item:
Item Name (if you know it):
Link (if available)please make sure link works after you post)
Photos: (attach using the paperclip at the top of the message box or upload to photobucket.com and post the links)
3. All requests must have clear photos (either in listing and/or provided by member requesting the authentication). This will help expedite authentications. Please ask the seller/use the macro setting on your digi (little flower). If you cannot see the details yourself, neither can we.
At minimum, pics MUST include:
- all exterior
- interior
- interior Burberry, made in, and serial stamps/tags
- engraving on hardware
If the listing or your request does not have the required pics, it will NOT be reviewed. That means if you have not received a response, please check your original posting to ensure all information and pics are present.
Authenticators are not required to answer every request, and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
4. Do NOT make more than 3 requests per post.
5. Please wait at least 24 hours before bumping your request. Search by seller or item # to ensure that it has not been reviewed (see rule 1). If the auction is ending soon, you may say so in your comments. Remember, we are just like you, and get on tPF when we have time so please be patient.
6. To ensure that additional pics requested are seen by the authenticators, quote or provide a link to your original request and response. Use the quote feature or copy and paste the url. Failure to do do may result in your query not being answered. Please utilize the quote feature when responding directly to another post.
7. Comments on price and/or condition are NOT permitted.
8. Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests must be posted in this thread.
9. Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.
10. Do NOT handle your disputes with other members in this thread. Take your differences to Private Message or just use the REPORT function to alert the mods, and let them handle it from there. In the meantime, just ignore the poster until a Mod can intervene. Failure to do so can result in banning. Always be respectful when you post and treat others as you expect to be treated. This is an open thread and everyone is welcome to participate.

Hi, I am new to this forum and I think I just found how to do all of this, so please bare with me as I learn how to navigate. I just purchased a 'Burberry's' trench from a reputable consignment shop, but as I look online, I am unable to locate the one I have and I think I may have a fake. I can only post 10n photos, but I have a few more...

Hello... Just received this bag today from online consignment store. Please help authenticate... Item is Nova Check Tote (No year mentioned on the listing description). The tag attached is from the consignment store and can’t be removed (just in case I need to return it). TIA

Here are the pics, I included lining pic as well. Lining is not leather, it's nylon with subtle checks.
Thanks
Everything looks fine to me - exterior should be leather - interior should have a burberry check pattern.

Thank you for the speedy response. I am still concerned because, as I look online, ALL of the other coats have buckles at the sleeves (with more loops holding the little strap), the epaulets are folded and looped around, the back flaps are not sewn down (see the pic with the triangular shaped stitching on mine), mine doesn't have the extra flap coming from the shoulder to the chest, the inside buttons are smaller on mine than what I have seen in pics, and my collar is short and plain with no support strap or plaid. Also, I heard that the size label is sewn in the left pocket with 2 or 3 lines of info. Mine just says 6 and x-long under. I have included a pic of that. I paid $325.00 (hefty for me), so I just want to be really, really sure - because I really cannot find any online that look like mine. Also, mine is supposedly form 1997 - there was a note attached to the coat from the store owner... Again, thank you for any and all information. Very much appreciated!!!!!!
