I saw this seller too when I was looking for a Burberry bucket bag! If addictedtoLV says it's okay, I think it should be fine to buy from this person. This person has a lot of good pictures of the handbags ...too bad I'm on a purse ban.

The tags look fine though. My scarf was only 120 dollars so maybe the seller got them of an outlet/sale?

I would ask the seller where they get these... You can buy Burberry scarves on the streets of Hong Kong with real-looking tags- I know b/c I've seen them. Just call me paranoid!

O.k., I think I should have posted my question here. Any opinions as to the authenticity of this eBay seller's Burberry quilted jackets?

eBay: BURBERRY Belted QUILTED JACKET Black XL/L No Res!!!! (item 230036128211 end time Oct-12-06 20:30:00 PDT)

Would hate to make an expensive mistake. Thanks for your help!

That looks fake to me - belt buckle looks like plastic and the coat in the auction buttons up on the other side.

Seller also stole the stock pic from burberry.com:

Thanks. My friend purchased one from this seller and I went over and looked at it. Belt buckle is leather covered. Appears seller has reversed picture of how coat buttons in her auction description. Coat actually buttons (when you put in on) with the right side buttoning over the left.

Do these details make any difference? I just question how she has so many and can sell at such a low price. Always makes me leary. Thanks for your help.

To me details make a huge difference... I would ask the seller where she gets her stock? I am always leery of large quantities of new designer items.

Very true Ask the seller just in case!

i thought, as a generality, women button right over left and men do left over right...so wouldn't that be correct, what she's selling?
i would personally stay away from that auction (though it's ended by now), and ones like it. they don't even offer refunds.

THe thing I looked at was you don't get a close up of the tags. That does make a difference too. the seller only took pictures from the front and half opened of the jacket. Also a close up of the lining would help as well.

[6rugrats]

Passed along your concerns to friend who purchased jacket. She contacted seller who has agreed to accept return for full refund. Seller has Chinese name and says jacket produced for "different market" (?). Guessing maybe for Hong Kong market??

Anyway, hopefully she will actually get her refund thanks to your help!

I just bought my daughter a classic trench, and the top two seem to match the one I bought. I think they are authentic. I don't know about the two newer coats (the third and fourth on your list).

#1 and #2 look okay to me

#3 - need pic of the materials and care tag, not feeling good about this one

#4 - need pic of the materials and care tag, auction already over

[maryg1]

thanks both. Another question: do Burberry trench fit slim or large? I'm an Italian size 38, that should be a UK 6, and these are my measures: 5'35'' (1.63 m) and 94.8 pounds (43 kg). Do you think that #2 would be too large for me? Maybe the best thing I can do is to go to a vintage shop near here where they sell vintage Burberry coats and try some on...
