My famous Burberry Scarf And How to Recognise a Real from Fake.

As winter is still here but not for long now and year after year we see many people wearing the classic famous Burberry Scarf in brown or as most of you would say 'Camel'. I have just purchase mine a bit late with winter finishing however such a design and brand wouldn't be out of fashion and style sooner or later.

My very own Burberry Scarf and packaging:

I'm sure many of you have seen the famous Burberry scarf in Various colours ranging from dark grey, black and all the way to green. No matter the colour of the scarf, we still know its a luxury branded design.

This iconic piece speaks for itself and not words are needed when seen wearing this famous classic iconic well know scarf. It can be worn with practically anything, adding that more class to an outfit especially a standard everyday look.

Where the scarf came from and production process. 

In 1856, Burberry was just a small shop located on Haymarket Street in Hampshire, England The shop was run  by a guy called Thomas Nicholas Burberry. He made many different items. Few years later and this small shop became a well known designer brand which many of us now shop at and know very well.

Going back to the famous Burberry Scarf. I love how the scarf is 100% cashmere and the cashmere on the Scarf comes from cashmere sheep. Knowing this, now gives you more insight as to why the prices for a Burberry Scarf is costly and this is why because Burberry have to wait a year before actually being able to make and put the next scarf out for sale. Well wouldn't we all like to think that was true. In reality that would be a vey long wait and production of the Burberry Scarf. The cashmere is taken from the belly where the soft fur is found on the plant seen below:

In this process no animal cruelty is seen in the production of the Scarf. The scarf then get washed and woven in Scottish water and run through with thistles. And lastly the Scarf gets labelled and packed before it's sold in store and online.

How to tell an Authentic and Replica Scarf

In order to see if the famous Burberry Scarf is real or not by the lines on the Scarf; blurred into one another means the scarf is real and authentic.  It is very hard to spot a fake Burberry Scarf. The Fake Scarf will have uneven lines and may contain wider spaces in-between the line or wider blurred lines itself.

The Pattern

The strips on this Scarf should be vertical and horizontal. More likely having crooked strips on the Scarf would indicate a replica. There shouldn't be any blending within the colours and most strips should meet cleanly meaning that not always will this be the case on a Burberry Scarf.


The Inside Tag & Zipper

Every tag on a real (Authentic) Scarf should match the colour of the lining with uniform stitching. The print will be straight and centred and the back of the tag will say 'Made in Italy' with a code underneath it. With the zipper always saying Burberry on both the sides.

I hope this post has helped you to recognise a Real Authentic Scarf from a Fake Replica.
