Unless something is done to wake up ebay, Japan and Japanese sellers that just being located in Japan does not mean the sellers are honest nor does it mean they abide by the strict anti-counterfeit laws of the country, I will not recommend ANY buyer purchase ANY Coach item from ANY seller in Japan.
My comments in this post refer specifically to Coach listings. I don't know a lot of the history of other designer labels though I know there have been fakes among those brands too.
Over the years, I've seen "trusted" and established Japanese sellers list and relist fakes, many of which were Korean-made counterfeit Coach bags. Reporting isn't always successful in getting the listings removed and when it is successful, it's after days (or a week) or reports from multiple users.
And over the years, when listings were removed (rarely but occasionally), they relist or hand off the same POS to another "trusted" seller account!
Such is the case of the above sellers.
The listing I posted last week from
hokkaido-japan-island was finally removed, but today, there's another fake. (And the price for this fake!! OMG!)
Authenticity: 100% AUTHENTIC!

I've enlarged the creed and showed it separately in addition to the listing pics.

The listings from the other Japanese seller,
boom2hanten are still listed even though they've been removed more than once in the past, implying that the seller knows they're fake.
BE VERY CAREFUL IF DOING BUSINESS WITH SELLERS FROM JAPAN!
