Authenticity Indicators
Internal neck branding stamp/label is visible. Camaïeu was a widespread French mass-market retailer; counterfeits are highly unlikely. Confidence: High.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Vinted (Best for European brands), eBay, or Poshmark. Due to the lower price point, it may also move well in a local consignment shop or Facebook Marketplace bundle.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Business Casual' and 'Office Wear' keywords. Steam the garment thoroughly before photographing to showcase the pleating. Mention the metallic shoulder detail in the title as it is a unique selling point for this basic item.
