I’d be shocked if D&G or Versace would ever let anything be sold with tags sewn on that terribly. I vote fake as well.

Found this Burberry handkerchief on Grailed? Is this one authentic?

Sorry for adding many posts quickly. How is this handkerchief? I found it on Grailed again. Can anyone confirm if it's authentic and if there are others who can give an opinion on the previous post?

again, just look at the quality of the lettering in the embroidery. It's horrible. Learn to use your own judgement when it's this obvious.

My judgment is sort of shaky because I found authentic handkerchiefs and compared the embroidery of the first 2 of 3 ones I posted and they seem to match in shape (even the quality of stitching, perhaps both the authentic and fakes are just horrible).

Here is the embroidery on authentic ones: http://hankii.com/handkerchief/burberry-handkerchief-pocket-square/

i'm talking about the "Burberrys" lettering. The link you provided shows nothing resembling that.

Yes, you are correct. I have made two posts prior to this which show the same horse pattern that can be compared. There is no lettering to compare but the previous post (white check) has no lettering.
