You can't see it on the stock pictures that well but this ita on the ita thread showed us their "haori"s aren't even having proper sleeves. They're completely open at the end. Looking at the stock photo's they also seem closed at the beginning. The way the stock photos are made I expect this is hidden on purpose as they are all made in a way you can't see the inner sleeve and it's nearly impossible to see the beginning on that darkest version, in which case it kinda goes into scammy territory to me. At least the taobao haori, bad quality and often enough tacky as they are, do know what Japanese haori sleeves look like. Open sleeves like this are only for traditional work and sleepwear afaik. It just reminds me of those western "kimono" nightgowns sold in lingerie stores here but at least they make it obvious it's nothing like a real kimono...

Besides haori doesn't have such a closure but she could have taken inspiration for that from dochugi I guess. Those are wrongly called haori all the time anyways. But altogether there is literally nothing haori about this pattern, or even accurately Japanese. I expect the spooky macaron one to be exactly the same pattern.
