*CLOSED* Authenticate This Alexander McQueen

[lorihmatthews]

For me, the only real way to tell is to ask the seller for a clear picture of the tag that's on the scarf.

Here's a handy "how to tell real from fake" guide that I posted based on scarves that I purchased:

Thanks so much for the guide! I'm going to ask the Seller to post a clearer picture of the tag on the scarf.

Conclusion - This is a FAKE McQueen Scarf

Thanks so much for your Guide, lorihmatthews, you're a life-saver! The Seller sent me a picture of the label. Notice the bottom stroke of the "L" & "E" in the picture below, it's slanting to the right in an upward direction. The bottom stroke of the "L" & "E" on the Authentic scarf goes directly upward, there's No Slanting! Also, the color of the label is the same as the Fake one. I'm pretty sure this scarf is a FAKE from the above deductions. Thanks again for your help!

Actually I think it might be real ... can you ask the seller to take a CLEAR picture of the tag?

Have you checked out AlexanderMcQueen.com or called the stores in LV or NY to ask about this style scarf? I think the seller has inflated the retail price.

This is what another member, Rai, says about this scarf:

I remember this scarf from a fews years back, I was in the McQueen store in NYC and they had it. I remember the silver details seemed like they were ironed on, they felt plasticky, I didn't like the way it felt at all. The SA was telling me they were selling like crazy, but myself and another customer that were there at the time, both passed on that scarf, and bought the original one instead. It just didn't feel right, I swear those silver details felt a little on the rubbery side, and seemed like they would peel off in the future.

I remember this scarf being in the $265 range.

I'll ask the Seller to take another picture of the tag and see if she'll do it. However, in view of what's said about the scarf and its "inflated" price, I'll most likely pass on this one. Thanks again for your help!

Hi guys, I don't see any thread for authenticating Alexander McQueen so I'm hoping you guys could help me on this. So hard to find an authentic one.

They look pretty good but please ask the seller for clear pics of the black McQueen labels on the scarves themselves.

I'd also ask her to provide more info about the condition of the scarves -- they look like they're pretty snagged.

They look VERY worn, lots of pulls and as Lorih says we need pics of the labels to be sure

It's totally fake. Of course, the price is ridiculously low but I can also tell by looking at the black label. Here's a guide to help you tell real from fake that I wrote:

I just bought this scarf from Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=260311851377&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016

Anyway, when I got the scarf, my friends realized that it is not an authentic! They said the SEAM is fault. I agree with them that its seam is not similarly as the one I bought from UK (brown)...

As I ask the seller for refund, the buyer against that her scarf is 1000% Authentic! Can anyone here help me to prove this thing out!?! At least, I can show the buyer that my understand is right! Otherwise, if it is authentic why the SEAM is difference!?!

TIA

P.S. The brown one I bought it from shop
The white one is what I get from EBAY

I'm sorry but I disagree with your friend about the scarf being fake. I think it's real. Here's a guide that I wrote a while back:

http://forum.purseblog.com/the-wardrobe/mcqueen-skull-scarves-how-to-tell-real-fake-247178.html

The seams may be different because they're from different seasons. I have no real explanation for that. But based on what I've seen, I believe the scarf to be real.

I'm sure others will chime in.
