Please could anyone tell me if this is an original 70's Biba Skirt Suite?

Hi lolaj and welcome to the forums.
As per the forum rules we can't authenticate fashion here: it needs to be inspected in person for that - but you can see in the Biba entry in the Label Resource that towards the mid '70s printed labels of black on gold were used. Your set (skirt suit) shows a lot of late '30s-early '40s influence which was common for Biba at this time (around '72-75).
Are there any other labels or anything printed on the other side of the Biba label? Biba, like many popular labels has been copied which is why it's best to authenticate if possible.

Hi Nicole,
Thank you so very much for your reply.
There is nothing printed on the reverse of either of the Gold Biba labels. The skirt does have this white label with 0723701 printed in blue. Also on the reverse of the buttons is Victory 36, and the zip is YKK.
Thanks again Nicole.
Kindest Regards
