that is the question.
Is this a real Gucci scarf or not? Tag reads ' made in Italy'. Quite a light weight silk, but that is OK. Nice, generous size, approx 65 cm x 174 cm.
But, there is no imprint and the hem is badly and cheaply machined, not good at all.
Now, we all know that these days a classy label has nothing to do with quality,
Take the Michael Kors hand bag I bought at full price at Canada's fanciest department store last May.
My granddaughter asked " is that a real Michael Kors, Nana?"
Falling apart already, what a piece of c...p!
Just not sure about the scarf.
Gucci or not, I quite like that scarf. That said, you are so right about a classy label not having anything to do with quality ... xxx
ReplyDeleteHow I gate the current , branding' game
DeleteI love the green and brown together in the 'Maybe Gucci' scarf. My husband has taken to making leather bags - often completely hand stitched - and he has become a 'handbag critic'. I have a Mulberry bag which he bought me some years ago and, although it is good quality, he is surprised at the lack of finishing in one or two places. I haven't examined a Michael Kors bag closely but I imagine you are paying for the name as he is 'on trend' at the moment. I have a 'Maybe Dior' vintage bag which I suspect might be fake as the hardware doesn't seem particularly good quality but, then, price isn't always an indication of quality as you have discovered.
ReplyDeleteI quite like it too. Shame about the MK bag, ithad all the right inner pockets, I will take it back when I get a spare minute!.
DeleteMy fav handbag is an Irish artisan made, bought in a craft market in Derry about 17 years ago.
