How can you say 100% Silk feeling when it is polyester?

I have just been searching for 100% silk scarves and found  '100% silk feeling' in the title and then polysester in the description.

Is this not false advertising?

Yes, the story of the silk road is amazing and if anyone doesn't know it, do yourself a favour and have look.

Had same issue with a scarfs I ordered.  

 

One listing in the title stated 100% silk.  There was nothing in listing description below stating anything about polyester. Received scarf and it stated 100% silk feeling polyester on the sewn in label.  The label was not pictured in any photos.

 

Another scarf I purchased on ebay in the description where ebay has you list details in the drop down menu, the material was identified as "silk" and no where in the listing was there a mention of polyester.  The scarf arrived and low and behold the label stated "100% polyester."  This listing also did not have any pictures of the label.

These days, wouldn't you be able to just put in a not as described claim? I certainly would. My understanding is if the case is clear cut (as this would be), the seller would have to provide return postage costs & you would be reimbursed.

Smiley Very Happy

That made me laugh too.

 

The thread may be old (this seems to be happening a lot but with a name like perrymason I guess we should expect some detective work & digging into the pastSmiley Wink)

Perry's  purchase of the genuine silk feeling scarfs-that is more recent though?
