Alexander McQueen Wannabe Swallow Scarf from AliExpress Review

I was looking for a new winter scarf.  I love my old scarf however I feel like everybody and their mother has this scarf below.  I cringe a little bit when I walk by somebody that has the exact same scarf as me.

The scarf I wore virtually every winter day last year!

This year I wanted something unique but still stylish and affordable.  I started my hunt on AliExpress and saved many on my wish list.  I finally settled on this one and below is the picture that was used on aliexpress.

I like the blanket scarf idea and this seemed big enough and with the word thick in the title, I assumed it could keep me warm.  It's size is listed as 200*65cm.  I paid $20 CAD and it took about a month to ship to Canada.  

I didn't really realize is it was an Alexander McQueen knock off.  Only realized it when I saw the logo when the scarf arrived.  I googled and am not even certain that there is an actual AlxMcQ scarf that exists out there that looks like this.  Here it is laid out on the ground.  As you can tell, it's quite large.

When I wear it, you don't even see the logo so I don't mind it.  I am not one for flashing logos especially when it's not even the real deal!  It's big enough to wear and hang right while keeping me warm & cozy.  It doesn't shed which was a big problem w/ my previous plaid scarf and it's also quite soft.  & I haven't seen anybody else with it yet!

Scarf on!  You can see that the logo can't even be seen anywhere
