I purchased this bag from Ebay and now really questioning it's authenticity. The inside plate says "Michael Kors" made in Italy. There is no MK engraved in the hardware. The bag is super heavy and I can't find this particular bag online anywhere in order to compare. There is a tag that says MK Skorpios md gathered tote - genuine deer leather. Can anyone help in determining the authenticity of this bag? Oh, there is also no shoulder strap which I thought they all had. I can get more pictures if needed.

Help please, is this real? I haven't seen an MK tote with a rounded bottom like this, but I am far from an expert. Thanks alot.

I would question that it is posted as being an MK, but I didn't see a guarantee of authenticity in the listing. I always steer clear of any postings that do not clearly state authenticity guaranteed. And I always look for top rated sellers in the U.S. only. Just adds a little protection when purchasing from ebay.

I kind of feel the opposite. I get nervous when a seller goes in and on about how authentic their item is. When I sell I don't make "authenticity guarantees" because I only list items I'm certain are authentic and I expect other sellers to do the same .

Selling fakes is illegal and against both eBay and Paypal policy. Authenticity is necessarily guaranteed by those parties regardless of any disclaimers by the seller.

Sellers of counterfeits are just as likely to say they "guarantee authenticity" as sellers of authentic items and they're more likely to say "prove it" if you say the item they sold you is fake. If you have enough proof that an item is fake to convince a seller you have enough to convince PayPal.

Thanks for the tips. I passes on this one.

I have never seen a skorpios ring tote in person so I wouldn't be comfortable giving you a definitive answer but we could help you better with more pics. The interior and close ups of the mk badge, lining, hardware and braided handle and tag would be helpful. And all of that in natural day lighting, if possible.

You're right that they're supposed to come with a shoulder strap, btw.

Here are some more pictures, I hope this helps. Please anyone, let me know what you think?
I have also noticed while taking pictures that the magnetic snaps and large gold bars things attached to the handles are like chipping or discoloring. The seller told me that this style did not come with a shoulder strap and that there was no dustbag with it when purchased.

I think this is legit, though I think they're just PVC and not coated canvas.

@raider69 - I'm sorry but I'm still not sure about your bag. I have never seen that particular bag before and the lining, stitching at the top of the interior is weird to me. But like I said, I've never seen the bag in person. Maybe someone who has will come along and see your pics.

Thanks for helping. Here is another bag just like the one I purchsed that also sold on Ebay recently in silver. It does look exactly like mine.
