How nice that you located the designer!<br /><br />As to the Burberry I'd trust your eye - you picked it out as a quality item in the store, so I bet it's genuine. After all the Chinese seamstresses don't read English; how would they know which way up the label goes? So I vote factory second, and another lucky score for you.Northmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597456926736581361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-62858227739712066112011-03-23T05:14:41.328-07:002011-03-23T05:14:41.328-07:00I can add a bit of insight here.

This was done so that when a woman removed her coat while sitting and let it hang over the back of the chair, the rest of the room could see the label, now right side up, and know that it is an expensive brand. Here's a blog post it did about it.<br /><a href="Couture Allure Vintage Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10381287774029728350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-52913005870983887952011-03-22T23:48:01.754-07:002011-03-22T23:48:01.754-07:00I love everything that you wear!!

I wouldn't expect a luxury brand like Burberry to have the labels sewn in incorrectly, but as you say, everything else seems good. I think it's real, if only because it makes a better story.karen mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878073602578198807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-15870158575266983952011-03-22T21:19:44.093-07:002011-03-22T21:19:44.093-07:00Yep, I made the jacket all right!

My vote is that it's genuine... but there is a slight flaw in it somewhere (most likely so small you'd never notice without inspecting every square inch of it under a magnifying glass).

I'm not even remotely an expert, but the quality looks quite high. I mean, really, wouldn't a knock-off be a bit shoddy inside? Some crooked seams & mismatched plaids? You can rip off the real Burberry buttons & put them on a fake, but I know, as a Trystan L. Basshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08397943306522024963noreply@blogger.com
