Purchased from Poshmark... the girl swore they were authentic and posh protects the buyers from replicas so I can return them if I state they are not authentic... macy's said they looked authentic and compared them to their Selma and travel tote there but I really don't think they are authentic
Sales associates are not trained in authenticating anything and I've worked for Macys before no one is trained in authenticating or even being familiar with a certain brand and since MK isnt a high end brand you're kind of at the mercy of doing comparisons. Have you measure the actual handle drop and height/length of the bag? Replica's no matter how good they are always have measurement discrepancies. Check the measurements against the real MK bag measurements on his website. Did the bag feel lighter than the real thing? A replica bag can have all the makings of a real one but a good indicator is the weight of the bag since the materials used are generally cheaper and feel lighter

Thanks, all the materials are exact and on point, the quality is exact, weight, measurements... every single detail works except missing the made in tag...... I brought mine into macy's we compared them against theirs.. ive asked other MK enthusiasts... every stitch is in place..everything is exact just not that darn tag.... Ive seen a lot of replicas between coach and kors and normally they are obvious but this one is just catching me...

this is the sellers listing correct?
https://poshmark.com/listing/Mk-red-selma-slightly-used-bundeled-both-bags-53754f574845e65b740a2a59

Looking at her comments and comments on her closet and items in her closet I'm inclined to believe the bags are fake. She has a listing for a Jet Set tote and doesnt even give the dimensions, anytime a seller is invasive about details its always a red flag and would stay away. I would also suggest in the future to check bags authenticity prior to purchasing. Good thing is you can return it, but the seller was kind of snippy when you questioned her, I also find it odd that she has some Kate Spade items listed and is using a stock photo and has no photos of the actual item. Sounds like she is buying replicas in bulk and places the order once someone buys it on Posh. She is for sure a shiesty seller and should be reported

yupp that is her listing.... you cant really authenticate before you buy unless they have receipts or proof and I have bought dozens of bags on the site and not had any problems...

no I mean asking on here prior to purchasing. No one on Poshmark authenticates anything, you're at the mercy of asking TPF or purchasing and hoping its authentic

ahhh.. yes. unfortunately I would have missed the sale.. there was another girl fighting for them too.. I have let a lot of purses get away that way.. kinda have to take the chance and if it turns out bad go through the site to return it.. at least they offer that safety net! lesson learned.. I know my coach and LV but don't know kors all the way yet... sure I will after this though!

Did you measure the handles?
 
Everyone, I just found the sutton replicas in the market today. It's indeed more difficult to identify the authenticity than the selma.

Does anyone can give me opinion about this bag? The seller is selling many fakes but claim them as authentic. I can tell easily about the fake selmas but I feel the sutton is more difficult. The bags sold by this seller aren't superfakes. I can't imagine if I find one superfake, I may not be able to tell 😟

Please be aware! I didn't expect that the fake sutton will be in the market very fast 😟

this looks so similar to my black sutton ! The only thing I can really point out is the tag on the front of the bag instead of the back

Exactly, but the placement of the tag can't be the indicator of the authenticity. I can't even spot anything from the pics 😟
But based on the reputation of the seller and the price of the bag she is selling, it's definitely fake!

See from the pics, there is no sutton with those colors but this seller has..Only fakes will have additional colors.
I'm so sad that the fakes are getting better. I love sutton design 😣

Hope everyone will be more cautious when they buy sutton not from authorized retails, sigh 😥

Yup that color doesn't exist on a Sutton yet. Did you notice on the MK website that they have a report button for alerting them to replicators?

These fakes are so good that I'm convinced that some of the MK manufacturers are the ones stealing his designs.

I agree !!! They have to be ! Some of the ones I have seen online can seriously pass as authentic to someone who wasn't familiar with MK
