Hi,

I just bought Sutton Medium Navy last week. I already validate on searchupc.com, it's valid and from nordstrom. Since this is the first time i purchase MK bag, so I can't see if its fake or not. Please authenticate for me...

I found a defects long strap...Here's the pic

1. The seams ripped
2. Black edging is a bit chipped
3. Black edging didn't coat neatly

Since the bags looks authentic for me, so I only told the seller about the defect long strap and the seller also offering me to return the long strap and she would give me the new one
The new one came, and also defected, and make me doubt about the authenticity of this bag. Here's the pic

1. "MIchael Kors" letter on B is not properly embossed. And the position of the letter on A & B are different.
2. The A & B hooks are different models. A is S curve and B is diagonal line.
3. The A & B (i don't now how to say it in english, pic above), are different. A has hole, but B is covered.


Do 1 strap could have different hooks?

Please help me to authenticate this bag. Any help will be appreciated, thank you in advance ^^

Hi there!

I recently purchased this large Selma from a small-time online seller, who claims she gets her items from outlet stores. A bit of background info - I'm from Asia, and where I'm staying designer & high end brands are priced sky high, hence most of us gets our items straight from US outlets

Would appreciate so much if someone could help verify if this bag is authentic? I am abit apprehensive because there was no care card (the seller claimed that she got it from MK outlet, and so happened that the sales assistance forgot to include the carecard for all the bags in this particular batch). Also, if you look at the photos below, the Michael Kors logo engraved onto the bag looks abit crooked ie they are not in a straight line. Is this normal? And are there any MK bags that are Made in Indonesia? As far as I know, MK bags are mostly made in china. correct me if i'm wrong

Other points to note:
- the price i bought from her was about ~USD248
-handles were wrapped in paper (instead of plastic) when i got it
- no price tag/original receipt given by seller
-i have adjusted the bag strap - the original placement was on the third link

Here are the photos (sorry for the bad lighting! it was taken with a smartphone) :

i got it from this website www.wanisepen.blogspot.com

she claims all her items are authentic and bought from outlet
i enquired about the receipt, but she claims that because she buys in bulk (more than 20 items in one trip), the receipt has been declared at customs for clearance, hence there is no receipt to show

would appreciate very much if anyone could verify

thanks!

Sorry, but given the pics that you have there is no way I can really authenticate any of those bags (most of the ladies here need close ups of the bag and its hardware) but if you suspect the seller is dealing out fakes then go with your feelings on this one and continue to search for a reputable seller that offers you plenty of pics of their purses (the actual ones for sale and not photo stock) and that you feel more comfortable buying from.

A MK bag should never have mismatching hardware or poor stitching like shown on this bag which leads me to believe that it's a fake bag with a real MK tag attached to it. Fakers have been doing this a while since the tags are one of the things that people look for when determining authenticity (the MK boutique closest to me had several display models missing their tags, care cards, and dust bags because of this and it finally reached a point where the SA took them all out to curb the problem). Try and return this bag to get your money back.

Would you have photos of your Selma for me to compare to photo4 and photo10?:)

Hi, the seller is using photo stock so its hard to tell from his website. Here is some picture of my selma. Between the price you bought it is too good to be true. He is selling RM7++. mine is RM12++. Better wait other to give more opinion.
