Real or fake please? I work in a charity shop and would like to put on our ebay site if Real.

No one can tell you that, as you can appreciate we cannot see the actual item and it's very hard to judge just from photos.

The only way to get a positive result is to take it to a Chanel dealer and ask for verification,  though be aware if it is a fake they are in the rights to confiscate the item.

One thing to look for.

Chanel scarves often come with serial numbers, which are unique to each scarf. You can check the authenticity of a vintage Chanel scarf by verifying the serial number with Chanel’s customer service team. If the serial number is not present or does not match Chanel’s database, then it is likely a fake.

Thank you for your reply:)

Is this for all branded scarves or just Chanel? As we also got donated 2 burburry and 1 fendi scarf?

Just Chanel 🙂

There's a website called PurseForum you can ask this question on, they have members there who can authenticate designer items. 

If you Google them it's the first site that comes up. 

Unless you're sure about the authenticity I wouldn't list the items, it's illegal to try and sell counterfeit product anywhere in the UK .

When I worked , now retired, for decades I travelled to Hong Kong.  Believe me they can reproduce these labels with all necessary numbers / codes,  even provide you with a fake receipt that Columbo would have difficulty in discerning real from fake.

In my personal humble opinion here, if you cannot get the Brand company to verify it's authenticity then Do Not sell it as the real thing on eBay.  Doing so,  a buyer may take it to be authenticated, and if finding it fake,  you land yourself with a case for a refund,  and negative feedbacks,  which you do not want on your Charity account,  it will put off potential buyers.
