Hello, I need help please with this bag. I bought from a friend in China and said that it came from a Michael Kors factory in China. These are items that didn't pass quality control and cannot be sold on counters.

What do you ladies do when you get stuck with a non-returnable/refundable fake? I've always wondered, and i'm honestly a bit worried it'll happen to me some day. Do you try to sell them somehow? or just accept them as losses?

One of the ways that I've been able to tell is the stitching under the handles. Genuine MK have 5 large stitches. Knockoffs have 6 or more smaller stitches. Should have a tag inside that also has id number. MK sales lady also told me that fake bags are shinier. Saffiano leather itself is kind of dull. Hope that helps.

Hello marie2711

Don't be alarmed when people say it's red flag when it comes in plastic that's false because some outlets actually do that my bag came in plastic from the outlets and if that determined anything then don't you think these sellers would start putting the tissue on the fakes. Anyways moving on because that doesn't determine anything ! The one thing that threw me off was the stitching on the pictures left side which would be your right side it looks like the string is coming out but maybe that's the defect ! Anyways I was just wondering if there is a small either clear or black tag inside it's usually on the sides hidden it will be literally the size of a piece of gum ? Let us know if you find it this will determine a lot

I am not sure if selma is sold at mk outlet stores. but for me, my selmas have always been wrapped in white paper instead of clear plastic ones. i am not sure with other designs though. so for me, selmas packaged with clear plastic on handles and detachable strap is a red flag. i tried to compare the pictures with my selmas and this is one thing i noticed. the logo at the inside lining bottom part is upside down with respect to the saffiano tab. i currently own 5 large selmas and 3 medium messengers. here are pics of inside lining of 2 of my large selmas.

for new ones, they would normally come in this packaging

if it comes with the mk plastic, is the code on the price tag same with the code on the mk clear plastic?

these are all for now. hope these helps in determining if what you have is authentic or fake selma.
