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.

I won't show publicly in this forum the mistake of the bag as there is a chance for the replicator learn from here and correct the mistake.

Sorry, but as I've seen the whole thing, I'm now sure that the bag is not authentic..

ElephanyGirl, please PM me if you want to know the mistake..The foul smelling raised the suspicion already..

Sadly, it's just too many replicas in the market, and I can say your bag is also in a very good details but how good the fakes, the mistake can still be spotted on the fakes

Does the metal hardware feel cheap? Lackluster? I have the mini cross body selma (no studs in gray) and all the hardware is very shiny (resembles silver).

Wow you are very good... I have looked over and over and cannot spot the mistake... Unless it is where I suspect it might be from the new pictures? PM me please I need to know lol (curious)!

So, what would you ladies suggest is the best way to handle this? Contact the seller and ask for a refund because it's not as described or mention that it is fake? I am hoping I can resolve it without filing a claim. Lord knows I don't have time to deal with a back and forth with this dishonest person. :'(

Going to have to agree and say that based on seeing the whole bag I'm saying it's not authentic. Very good replica though

^ I would appreciate any insight you would be willing to share via pm.
Thanks ladies, this is a shame, but I'm happy that I was able to realize right away with everyone's help. :( I don't think I'll buy another bag on eBay again... if only this one wasn't so hard to find!

edit: I was also suspicious given its shipping location, definitely an area where replicas are abundant.

The seller has been contacted. Thanks again everyone, you have been an immense help! I will keep you all posted on the saga.

In addition, I am still looking for this AUTHENTIC purse if anyone happens to come across one. Needless to say, I will not be shopping on eBay anymore. :( I don't know how people can do things like this and sleep at night.

Most welcome :)

It's also possible that the seller is also unknowingly selling counterfeits as there is a possibility that she was cheated by her own suppliers.

But there are also many sellers who are purposely scammed innocent buyers.

It can be safe to buy from ebay too..Some sellers are really offering a good deal but it's better to be more cautious and just try to ask for the real life pic and evaluating it before buying :)

I have a feeling she knows what she is doing, as I see another MK bag up for sale right now. :( We will see what the reply is. The funny thing is the bag wasn't any cheaper than it would have been in the MK store- that would have raised red flags for me. I just thought I was getting a hard to find bag.

Oh dear, that's not good..Furthermore the price isn't cheaper than MK store, it's ridiculous 😥

Next time just be more cautious in dealing with any seller

Hello there! I have been looking for this bag I saw on someone, but have only found it here - http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-MICHAEL...775?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item258fe450f7
- couldn't even find it here on the purse forum! Can you guys tell me if this is an authentic bag?

Thanks :)

Some pics you could ask the seller for...the adjustable strap clasp (this seems like it is an older model so it might not come with the "Michael Kors" engraved on the side of it) and the inner label. Judging from just 4 pictures it's hard to tell.
