I purchased it off of Mercari. The patterns line up as they should. But just to be sure, I want to double check before contacting the seller. It’s one of the smaller scarfs, 12” wide, maybe 48” or so long? Not sure the name of this scarf either. Seller said she did not have the receipt, but as we saw above, I know receipts can be faked, so I never go off that alone. I’m asking because of the fringe, but idk if over time if the scarves do this or not...I’m a tad worried about it, and the logo on the tag...If it turns out to be fake, I’ll contact the seller to see if she will accept a return. Here is the tag next to my authentic shoebox...View attachment 4538438

It is a fake one - insist on a return.

Hello again, I was looking for a dustbag to go with my new Burberry purchase, and I was wondering if you awesome people could authenticate it? Seller says it's authentic, but the text looks kind of off to me (Rs are too squished; Bs look unequal). I'm not really sure what other photos you need for a dustbag other than the logo, but please let me know if you need more. Thanks!
Item Name: Burberry cloth dustbag, EUC
Item Number: 323898869101
Seller ID: meandmylittlebrainiac
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Burberry-C...869101?hash=item4b69e0856d:g:FV4AAOSwtvZdZ1Mj

No - that one is not good - and you are right - the R's are squished, or too narrow. Return it.

I am no expert, I am also on this thread because I need another set of eyes on my recent scarf purchase. However, if it is helpful, here is a photo of one of my dustbags, but keep in mind it is a shoe dustbag. Hope this can be of some reference for you.

This one is legit! Thanks for posting.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions. I had a feeling the second I touched it, and the tag looked off. Was hoping for better news, especially since the pattern lined up so perfectly, but I kind of already knew deep down, which is why I came here for help. I will message the seller and see if she is willing to take it back. I do believe she thought it was authentic, so I don’t necessarily have any anger towards her, unless she ghosts me once I contact her. She has been very friendly thus far, so I do believe she will work with me. Thanks again, I really appreciate you taking your time to help us in this forum. The great thing about Mercari is that the money doesn’t come out of my account until I’ve confirmed receiving the item as described.

Thanks for the reference! Yeah, the more I look at it, the more I think I'm right about the Rs and Bs. I guess I'm just wondering if there was a different font used at a time or something.

Well, you are right to ask about the different fonts, because they do change. The newest one - I'm still getting used to.
Always check here - even if you get an item checked, you can check the item that you ACTUALLY receive.
One time there was an auction (authentic), then when they got the item, they said it was authenticated, but they didn't get the bag that was in the auction photos. The seller had done a switch.

Yes - good approach. Keep the lines of communication open and don't be on the attack. I hope it works out for you. Also - reminds us that sometimes the gut reaction is correct.

Yeah, I’ve worked customer service for 19 years, so I know how to talk to people to get what I want/need without causing a big stink. Good guy approach is best at first. This is the first fake I’ve gotten, I thought my photo authentication skills were getting better, but from the photos I was fooled. But when I got it and touched it and saw the tag was ever so slightly misaligned it raised all the red flags and my heart sank. But I do believe I’ll have good luck returning this item, as the seller has great reviews and I don’t think it was intentional. She wasn’t selling any iffy bags or anything, as I always look at what the seller has sold in the past. I’ll post an update tomorrow.

I can't read the content tag to see what the fabric is.
This is an authentic THOMAS Burberry item. So, not the same as Burberry - it is a different LINE. But still Burberry, and usually lovely/well made - I have a few Thomas Burberry items myself - like them a lot - I don't know where there are shops? Any one out there in the UK? Nice coat.

Than you Terite, it says 90 percent wool 10 percent cashmere. The girl said got it from a shop in London, unfortunately I’m a bit 2 far from London to check. Thank you once again for your fast response !
P.S label says xxs, I’m a size 6-8 uk and I would say it’s for a size 10.

Great! Sure, keep us in the loop. Buying or selling a fake is how many first came to this forum!!

Oh! Sizes are crazy - there is no consistency. You might have to sell/trade it in.

Item Name (if you know it): A Burberry blue label bag
Link (if available): -Nil-
Comment: Hi there, i have come across this bag while thrifting. It's from the Burberry Blue Label line. The rivet does not say "burberry blue label" and interior white tag looks somewhat different to others that i have seen online. Any help will be greatly appreciate as i can bring it back for an exchange in less than a week, if it is a fake. Thank you !

Thank you! I did not purchase this. I wanted a second opinion before I even bothered. Good to know that I'm getting better at spotting fakes
