Authenticate This APPAREL

I just bought a MaxMara 101801 coat second hand, and was wondering if all of them have this tag that says “CHINESE MARKET” on the inside? It is the last page of the size tags on the side.

I'd be grateful for some help with authentication: I found a coat on eBay that the seller identified as a "Max Mara" (with the quotation marks) for $225 with shipping. It just arrived--it fits--I like it. But I'm not sure it's authentic, and I love to have some opinions from people who know the brand. The buttons don't say Max Mara--and the lining is plain black, without the logo. (I have two other MM coats that I bought from Max Mara in the 90s; even those older coats have the logo). The quality feels good, if not quite as luxurious as my old ones. I'm wondering if it's even possible that it could be real without the logo lining.
