Looks like a legit vintage scarf to me - would have come from the UK - originally. Real lambswool is a bit rough (cashmere is soft). Also the right size for that era. I would say a bit later than 1980 - maybe 90's.I purchased this scarf for $100 at a store in Burbank, CA called Luxmary Handbags. The guy purchases secondhand luxury items, mainly from the Asian market and authenticates them.
I did a burn test (last fringe, close up photo), and it turned to ash, and it smelt like burnt hair to me.
It's not super soft, but a little rough like a lambswool sweater I have made in Scotland. Doesn't smell like anything to me. My biggest concern is the tag is sewn on by fishwire.
I'm having trouble finding out if vintage counterfeits could ever be produced with actual wool. I think this would be from the 1980's? Were tags sewn on differently then?View attachment 4456229 View attachment 4456231 View attachment 4456232 View attachment 4456234 sewn on differently then?
