Michael Kors Authenticate this MICHAEL KORS

[suheycitasworld]

So the bag has arrived and I have a bad feeling about it, but I'm looking for more opinions. First off, it has a very strong chemical smell to it that I did not experience with my other MK bag. Also, there are some very small areas with stains that look like glue (see photos)? There are very minor scratches on some of the studs and the handles are squeaky when I move them up/down. This is my first time with a bag of this style, so I'm not sure if any of this is to be expected, so I welcome any feedback you can provide. Thanks! Sorry for the image quality, it is very difficult to photograph in natural light.

Hi all Please authenticate this for me. I had to bid on it this morning, but the seller did guarantee its authenticity and said it came with receipt. I can take additional pics if needed once I receive it.

authentic !!

Thank you, I'm relieved!
Why does it smell so bad? Is this something common for MK bags? I had to actually remove it from my bedroom because the smell is that strong.

Probably wherever it was stored before you got it... But the saffiano leather looks great as well as the stitching... One of the easiest ways to spot a fake is from the quality of the stitching (runny thread, crooked stitching), lining print, hardware, etc. Your bag is definitely authentic. Try airing it out. There's a whole thread on how to remove smells on PF. 😊

Aww no problem. I have my own little collection of MK bags. I have this one in the gray color myself and I love it! It's so cute! Enjoy your new bag!

You're the best, thanks SO much!

Now that I'm at ease, I'm ready to air it out and put it to use. Will post a model pic when I do!

Hi, I know someone has said the bag is authentic but I'm thinking that from your pics, there are some details that maybe missed to be evaluated.

The details looks good but there is something that made me unsure that the bag is authentic. Most of the time I need to see the more details than all details provided in ur pics..

Furthermore u said that the bag has strong chemical smell which I never experienced it with all my selmas.

If u don't mind, can u take the pic of the zipper pull, the edge of long strap esp the one nearby the holes. And also the full pic of the bag from front, back, bottom, and side?

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to disturb your peace, only think that many replicas nowadays have very good details and probably need to see in the whole things.

 

[ElephanyGirl]

Sure, I will. Let me try it in better lighting.

I'm finding it so hard to believe that this could be a fake! I'm personally stumped... I'm definitely interested to see what others think of this now lol the smell factor is ODD though... I have purchased MK bags in saffiano leather where initially I couldn't smell the leather and with 2-3 uses I could smell it but it was never foul. I know its a rule to comment on the condition but the listing you initially provided said the bag was "new." Based on smell and scratches on the studs do you believe this? If you are not happy with it definitely return it.

The smell I believe will air out and the scratches are minor and on the back. I would be willing to live with them if the bag is real as I have been looking for this bag (with the silver hardware) for a long time and can't find it elsewhere. However, if it is fake, that is obviously a deal breaker.

The smell is not a leather smell but rather an artificial/chemical type smell. Again, this could have been from storage or shipment, not really sure about that.
