The iconic British luxury brand umbrella has its share of fakes. Burberry has a reputation for impeccable attention to detail, exquisite workmanship, and perfection of their lines and patterns.
Here are some simple tips that will help you spot a counterfeit Burberry umbrella. The Burberry Nova Check (this is the correct term for the 'plaid') is always symmetrical.
The pattern will always line up and is very consistent between products. There are the obvious navy stripes crossing each other with white stripes in between. The red thin strip will always cross exactly in the center of the blue stripe pattern.
The entire pattern will be exactly centered and symmetrical, with the stripes evenly matching throughout the pattern.
The authentic Burberry Check Umbrella has symmetrical pattern with the stripes precisely matching.
The stripes on this counterfeit Burberry umbrella align, but the sections are not symmetrical, and do not equally bisect each section, indicating it is counterfeit.
This obvious counterfeit has all the markings of a fake.
The pattern is not centered in each section, the material is of poor quality and loose, yet the online seller advertises as "100% authentic Burberry."
Precision aligned and centered pattern is missing on the example of a counterfeit Burberry umbrella.
