This is an embarrassing question, but I'll ask anyway: 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. (If questions like these aren't okay on this part of the site, apologies! I'll understand if it's deleted by moderators--)
(Just tried to move this message to the Max Mara authentication thread--but I think I've bungled it. Apologies for the duplicate posting.)
