Hi everyone. I own a lot of MK bags! Hehehe. I must say that there are authentic MK bags sold in eBay at a very good price. Based on pictures, you can tell if it's fake or not. However, be careful of bogus sellers! This should guide you.

How to spot a fake Michael Kors Bag

1. Appearance-Michael Kors bags are made from high quality materials so you can tell a replica by just looking at it. Look out for cheap materials and even cheap zippers.

2. Tags-Michael Kors tags are light brown in color. Lime green, yellow, orange or black tags are replica. All new Michael Kors bag should come with a care card. On sale items would have lost or misplaced care cards

3. Dust Bag-Michael Kors dust bags are made from either a cream silky material, cream canvas material or a brown soft material. All others are replica

4. The Hanging Logo Charm and Michael Kors emblem- Both the hanging logo charm and the Michael Kors emblem on the bags are intricately crafted.

5. The Lining-you will seldom see the MK Monogram pattern on both the inside and the outside of the bag. We’ve seen an exception to this rule in Michael Kors Grayson bag, Hamilton ostrich embossed and perforated handbags.

6. The stitching-the stitching will never be in a contrasting color compared to the bag. A pink bag will have pink stitching. A red leather bag will never have green stitching. All colors will match perfectly against each other. Don't worry too much about imperfect stitching, it's inevitable.

7. Michael Kors bags have date codes. They are hidden very well inside the bags. To find them, you will usually have to pull the bag inside out. They are along the lining on the inside. It is a small white/clear plastic tab with the words "made in China" or "made in Vietnam" or made in wherever, followed by letters and numbers

8. Michael Kors bags are made in China. Some are made in Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam and United States. Some used to be made in Italy.
