I really appreciate that. Learning each day from people as patient and kind enough to share.
It can be risky business to shop online!

Hello, I know this discussion is over with, but I would like to point out, that many ladies buy an extra hanging MK Charm and add it to their bag. So if the bag typically does not come with one, it would not mean it is a fake, based on a hanging charm or key / fob alone.

I know you came to your conclusions based on other reasons, just wanted to point that out. Also many ladies take charms off of one bag and place it on another. So often , when buying a 'preloved' bag, MK hanging charms are the least of what determines authenticity. Not that I am any expert, but I do know ladies that do this, including my sister. Many can even have a fake charm on them, but the bag is still authentic, I believe these hanging charms can be purchased or replaced directly from Michael Kors. Just my two cents. Have a great weekend!

I haven't seen bag charms sold at MK. While it's true you can interchange the removable tags between bags they might look funny bc some charms come with straps that match the bag material (i.e. Saffiano key charm on the Hamilton). When it comes to authenticating it would be much harder and troublesome if someone came to me for authentication and their bag had an incorrect charm. It draws suspicion. If a charm is missing however I can't rule it as automatically counterfeit bc the charm could have been lost (lots of MK bags sold at Marshall's don't have a charm).

Understandable it would be a red flag. I have even seen them sold on ebay. Are they all fake? They ar pretty pricey if they are. And where are they getting them if not from Michael Kors? They can't be all fake, Here is one right here and this is one of the cheaper ones!

I think these are key fobs not necessarily bag charms. Authentic MK bags come with attached charms (Jet Set Tote) or the Loop around Charms (Hamilton). In this case you would be able to tell if you pay close attention to the hardware details.

There's no way to possibly tell from these pictures. You need more pictures of the hardware (main zipper head, strap hooks, bottom "feet"). The inner pocket looks really funny, it's overlapping with extra material. The gold hard ware on the inner zipper and key ring looks really cheap. Also original MK packaging never comes with bubble wrap, they use tissue paper.
