Hi everyone, I recently acquired a Pierre Carron London coat but I don't know when it was released or whether it's real. so if you could give any information at all then that would be great, have a nice day!

The styling looks very 1980s to me. Not familiar with the name.
Love the sleeve!

Looks 80’s to me too, more bulk/ roominess in the upper portion.

That’s what I thought as well but all the other listings with this name say that it’s vintage . But yes very unlikely with the sleeves. Thanks though!

I agree, the shape looks very 80s. With that, it does count as vintage (at least 20 years old).

Just to let you know, according to our forum rules, we cannot authenticate items here. Also, brands that get copied/knocked off are usually well-known ones.

“… all the other listings with this name say that it’s vintage.”

Unfortunately many sellers online have no idea about dating clothing. I’ve seen so many wildly inaccurate claims. Never take the seller’s word on dating unless they have a long track record of selling vintage. If in doubt you can message the seller and ask what makes them date the garment as they have.

I’ve always considered myself an amateur at dating but so often the sellers I contact know way less than I do. Caveat emptor!

As Karin, stated Vintage are items that are over 20 years old.

Why would you think it's not authentic?

Are you confusing the label with Pierre Cardin?
