I'm sure it's authentic. I don't really think Saks is selling fake goods, online or in their stores. LOL.
The point of the Burberry example was to highlight a straightforward enough case where lots of other makers offer a coat that is essentially identical in appearance to a Burberry trench coat -- as seen by a casual observer -- and yet isn't a Burberry. Take Brook's Brothers trench coat for example. If one doesn't see the label and lining pattern, one would not know it's not a Burberry.
That situation is substantively no different than seeing a watch that looks like a Rolex Datejust, for example, but isn't. Yes, there's a legal distinction (see my post above), but the meat of the matter is the same: visually and for the most part, they are indistinguishable to a casual observer, regardless of what label is on them.
All the best. |
See your point, but it's been a long time since anyone has really "invented" anything as far as fashion is concerned. The modern trench coat you reference, and a large majority of men's fashion, can be traced back to the military. A lot in fact to the bad guys in WW2. That said your underlying point is valid.
