Hi everyone,

I would super appreciate any opinions/feedback about the authenticity of this Burberry scarf. I've been looking at various real vs. fake guides and pictures etc. and I think it could be real but I'm not at all familiar with Burberry so am hoping some of you with more wisdom than me could weigh in.

It's not the classic check pattern but I see there's different authentic variations. The tassels are thick and have no more than two colors per tassel, but they're mostly all starting to unravel, however I have no idea how old it is...

The label is most puzzling because the quality of the letters seems legit to me at least and the stitching is quite neat (I'm including pics of front and back for stitching) but I haven't seen any pictures real or fake that have the smaller label to the right of the main one. Also I looked at the reverse side of the label and there's these two words or something saying "mion" and "sae.2".

Thank you so much for any feedback you wanna give!

Don’t listen to others that say it’s whatever. It’s not my style but my style might not be others. If you like it wear it boldly!! Style forum is a big tent of style
I wear my old Arny's Forestière coats -- have for maybe 30 years -- all the time even though they are not "Style Forum Approved". They are ideal when I run Saturday errands ... especially when it's only moderately cold.

There’s really not a signature give away as there would be with other brands, but the knit work and details look clean and well executed. I’d lean toward it being genuine.

Thank you Phileas Fogg for confirming my feeling ;)

Hi there,

Recently picked up this pair of suede, possibly alligator, Gianni Versaces. Look to be about an 80s label. Never seen one with a rubber sole in this great condition. Any help is appreciated!

Edit: There are additional photos of the sizing imprint and the full sole if you click into the images.

This reminds me of a Bolognese construction. Maybe it was licensed to one of the Italian factories in Bologna/Ferrara in those days? I think your assessment of the 80's/90's is right.
