Acne Studios has no Certilogo label or public serial check, and the QR code on FW25 and later care labels can be copied, so labels and construction carry the answer. That matters most for the Canada fringed scarf, Face logo beanies, Face patch hoodies and jeans, the pieces copied most. An authenticator checks the neck and care labels, the Face patch, wool and fringe, and leather back patches to tell you if it is real or fake.

What we check on Acne Studios

How to tell a real Acne Studios from a fake

On Acne Studios, the care label is the first thing we check. Its style ID, print and stitching must match the piece, and copies usually fail there, on the neck label or on the patch.

01

Care label and style ID

The style ID, print and stitching of the care label, matched to this garment's style and color. On FW25 and later pieces, the QR code is one more detail we check.

02

Neck label

Color and print of the neck label and how cleanly it is stitched in.

03

Face patch

Square corners, even eye and mouth spacing, and dense stitching or clean rubber edges.

04

Scarf wool and fringe

Wool texture, even fringe and a straight, neatly stitched woven label.

05

Denim back patch

Real leather with natural edges and engraved hardware, matched to the model and season.

06

Wordmark print

Weight and spacing of Acne Studios on labels and prints compared with the same season.

Featured questions

Have more questions? Visit our Help Center

Does Acne Studios have a QR code or serial number?

Newer pieces have a QR code. From the FW25 collection, launched in July 2025, Acne Studios care labels and care cards carry a QR code that opens a Digital Product Passport. It is one checkpoint, not proof, because a QR code can be copied onto a fake. We know of no per-piece serial number, so labels and construction still decide.

My Acne Studios piece has no QR code. Is it fake?

Not necessarily. Acne Studios added QR codes to care labels from the FW25 collection, which arrived in July 2025, so earlier pieces usually have none. We authenticate them from the care label and style ID, the neck label, the patch and the construction, compared with references from the same season.

How do you authenticate an Acne Studios scarf?

Send the whole scarf laid flat, both fringed ends, the woven label and the care label. We check the wool, the fringe, the label weave and stitching and the style ID against verified references for the Canada and other Acne Studios scarves.

Can you authenticate Acne Studios jeans?

Yes. Photograph the leather back patch, the buttons and rivets, the inside labels, the care label and the stitching along the seams. Each pair is compared with verified references for its model and season.

How do I tell a real Acne Studios tag from a fake?

Check the labels as a set. The style ID on the care label points to a style and color, not to your piece, and a fake can print a genuine ID from another item, so it has to match the garment. The print and stitching of the neck label and care label must also match verified references. Send sharp photos of both labels, front and back.

Can you check an Acne Studios scarf or beanie before I buy it on Vinted or eBay?

Yes. Ask the seller for photos of the whole item, the woven label, the care label and close-ups of the fringe or the Face patch, then upload them before you pay. A professional authenticator gives you a verdict, Authentic or Fake.

Which photos should I upload for authentication?

For the most accurate and quick authentication process, we advise you to upload clear photos of the areas visible when clicking 'Upload photos' on this page. We quickly determine if the uploaded photo meets our criteria. If your photos do not meet the criteria, you will receive a request for more and/or clearer photos. Check out Photo Instructions to find clear examples for each detail.

How long does LegitGrails authentication process take?

We provide a range of authentication response times to suit your needs, with options including 12 hours, 6 hours, 2 hours, and 30 minutes.
