How to tell if a Dolce&Gabbana dress is authentic?

At FARFETCH we work with in-house and third-party experts to ensure the authentication of all the pieces we receive to guarantee you 100% authenticity. Read our FAQs for more information.

If you’ve purchased a Dolce&Gabbana dress from an alternative retailer, focus on the following details:

- Authentic pieces are delivered in high-quality boxes or dust bags emblazoned with the Dolce&Gabbana logo. FARFETCH orders will arrive within FARFETCH-branded packaging.

- Sizing on the label will always be European.

- There are typically three attached labels, one of which is a hologram tag. Above this, ‘Dolce&Gabbana’ appears in a very small font.

- Check the logo carefully: fakes often feature wider spacing, an oversized ‘&’, or deviate from the Futura typeface.

- Stitching should be clean, tight and precise — fraying is a red flag.

How do you style Dolce&Gabbana dresses?

This depends, says senior merchandiser Charlotte Berry: ‘With iconic, statement prints such as Majolica, leopard and bold florals, the dresses speak for themselves and require minimal accessorizing.’

When it comes to daytime looks, it’s best to keep it simple, she continues: ‘Slip-on sandals, a raffia bag and, of course, a classic pair of sunglasses.’

‘A timeless pair of heeled pumps paired with the iconic Dolce&Gabbana Sicily bag complete the look,’ continues Charlotte. ‘If you want to channel old Hollywood glamour with an LBD, I recommend elevating the piece with statement jewelled earrings, party-ready sandals and an embellished bag to add extra points of interest.’
