Authenticate This BURBERRY

[terite]

Of course, here they are, thank you.

Oh - so confusing - you have Made in UK - Made in Hong Kong and an Italian serial number.
Tags are black - like Prorsum tags, but does not say Prorsum anywhere except for the button.
Meanwhile tags look legit.

PS: Please explain the Euro sizing to me - it says 42 on the front, and on the back 40. How do the Euro sizes work.

Oh my, it S ounds intricately, indeed. I am afraid you are not gonna like the answer.
By Italian scale 42 will be equivalent to M, in French to XL, in German to L (UK16/US12).
Size 40 in Italian scale will mean S, in French - M, in German - L (but smaller, UK14/US10). But sometimes conversion vary a bit .

The person, who would like to re-sell this one to me says it rather fits S/M.
I see on Burberry site they rather operate Italian scale beside UK and US:https://uk.burberry.com/customer-service/sizescare/women/

I have just realized that a big tag below the collar says „prorsum” at the very bottom (cropped pic added for reference). From sizes it would be logical for me only if front shows it in Italian, and equivalent to French and Chinese at the back (42-40-175/88A) (I added one more chart that I find accurate to our European reality).

I would not choose to buy a coat with contradicting made in tags and serial numbers - too iffy for me.
You have made in Hong Kong, UK and Italian serial number - and the description is just "honey" so too many red flags for me.

My great aunt wants to gift this to me. Through research I found Shelter under a Burberry, but not much else. Do you think it’s authentic?
Any help on this vintage piece is greatly appreciated.

Covid! Darn it.
Yes, it authentic and vintage. I love the sheltering under the burberrys themed items. And in the dog line they use those dogs on the labels - love it.
So it is an authentic vintage Burberrys saddlebag.
And is that the original box! Cool. Thanks Auntie!
