Likely, they will be insulted you suggest their retailers sell fake goods and ignore you. 😂

Lol - well just to be clear, I am not the one making such a suggestion - my best guess is they must be authentic. So I certainly approached it as seeking confirmation of that, rather than suggesting anything negative. However, I am aware that people can take things the wrong way...especially translating between languages!!!

Hopefully no insult is taken from it!

Yes - those are my thoughts on it as well. Hoping someone at Borrelli has time to respond to my inquiry and confirm that!


CIAO!
As our email conversation: YES! Harry Rosen is selling FAKE Luigi Borrelli shirts.
The crazy thing is the label..... PB instead of LB.

I Just contacted our international lawyer and we're working on that.

Keep you guys, posted.
ciao,
Nicola

Which Harry Rosen carries Borrelli shirts? I hope you didnt get tricked into the fake borrelli they are selling at their outlets like I did...

Credit where credit is due - it appears from Nicola's response that you were onto something...

Here's the story:

I went to their outlet location and saw "BORRELLI" dress shirts for $150. At that price I got excited and bought one in every colour.

About a week later I decide to check out my new shirts (as a clothing enthusiasts I enjoy sitting and inspecting)

First thing I noticed was the fabric, it was not of a high level and felt like Normal cotton. Second thing I noticed was zero hand work, third thing was no MOP buttons. Then I took a closer look and it said "PB BORRELLI". A Google search brought up nothing. I quickly contacted the real BORRELLI via Instagram and even posted it on here for authentication.

Unfortunately Borrelli confirmed it was a fake and asked me where I got it from. I contacted Harry Rosen and informed them with screen shots of my convo with Borrelli. They refunded me. However, They seem to not care as they are still selling this item and under the name of Luigi Borrelli too

PS I take full credit for discovering this and bringing it to Borrelli's attention

can you share a pic of the shirt or label so we can also see what you saw?

Here is the tag, and the message from the official Borrelli Instagram account. As you can see when your guard is down bc you are shopping at Harry Rosen (the last place you would expect a fake) it is very easy to get fooled by the tag.

In fact on their final cut website this exact shirt with this exact tag is still for sale and described as Luigi Borelli in their description
