I know! I really like it a lot! However, the second pic isn't showing! ack! Anyway, maybe the third's a charm. Here's one of the pics from EBay. See what I'm talking about? The first one has an oval handle and the ones I've seen on EBay has the square handles. Could these be fakes? TIA!

I know there hasn't been a reply in a while but I was hoping someone could help me authenticate this black "doctor bag" style satchel I got from the Goodwill website. I am not very familiar with Michael Kors bags but I associate them with square fixtures and this particular bag has big goldtone rings.

I have an album of pictures I took of it on photobucket: http://s188.photobucket.com/albums/z19/saprobe_photos/Bags/

Here are details you might not be able to see: The leather is very stiff, especially on the flap, "Michael Kors" is engraved on the metal on the flap buckle and "MK" on the fixtures that hold on those rings. The stitching looks very good inside and out, the tag looks right and the interior is a light off white canvas material. The edge of the leather is sealed with a dark brown color. The closure is a really strong goldtone magnetic clasp.

The card in the picture was in the zipper pocket inside. It has the Michael Kors logo and says "Leather Care Guide".

I tried to find what style it was and I only saw this listing http://www.bonanza.com/listings/NEW-MICHAEL-KORS-Berkley-E-W-Shoulder-Flap-Black-298/12232948 and that is just confusing me because I can't seem to find anything like a "Berkley East West Shoulder Flap" anything by Googling it. The bag in that listing looks exactly like mine, though. If anyone knows the style name or anything it would help.

I don't know enough to make any judgements about authenticity but their feedback is not very good. If you haven't yet, I suggest you read fb before you decide to buy.

Thanks :smile1: I saw that too... I guess I was initially to giddy to overlook the negative feedbacks... but you are right.... looks like it's not worth the trouble....

Hi there, does anyone know if the MK Layton large shoulder tote ever came in red? I asked an SA at MK today and she had never seen one, though I don't know how experienced she was. They only had orange and vanilla in store, whereas the MK website only has it in black and luggage.

I'm still looking for red for you but I did find it in Gunmetal on the Neiman Marcus website: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/c...117cat17740733cat000059cat40290732cat40330763
so apparently it came in colors other than the ones you mentioned.

Hi there, thanks for all the feedback. I've since revisited my MK store and they've added the black and gunmetal to their stock in addition to the orange and vanilla. I'm now leaning towards the luggage colour I've seen online on the Neiman Marcus website. I asked at MK store about the luggage colour but it isn't in their product book although they said they may still get it in store. I've decided against ordering from the seller after reading the feedback, and also found some posts on TPF about the seller which indicated her products are actually factory bags, so that may explain the colour discrepancy. I think I'm pretty set on the luggage colour now, but wish I could see it in person before ordering from NM as I'm in Canada it will cost me dearly to return it. Finding the perfect red bag remains on the my list. Decisions, decisions...

Hi, I'd say it is a Berkley E/W Flap bag. Probably authentic. I vaguely remember seeing them years ago.

I googled using the terms: michael kors berkley flap
and found this link among others.

Hope this helps, :smile1:

Thanks, Meg but that listing is the same seller as the one I posted just a different venue. She's selling them on eBay, Bonanza and a few other places.

I did see a few pictures of the item in brown here: http://www.polyvore.com/michael_michael_kors_berkley_leather/thing?id=2129987

BPerry's bag looks just like mine except it's brown, the buckle detail is different and it doesn't have studs up the side.

The main things that make me suspicious about my bag are the large contrasting stitching and the thick, stiff leather. I do recall reading reviews on various shopping sites of other bags around that time where people complained about how stiff their MK bags were, though so that might not mean it's inauthentic.
