Hi, I bought a NWT "MICHAEL KORS JET SET MULTIFUNCTION MONOGRAM SATCHEL" off eBay, the seller has over 100% great feedback, (over 1300) is selling $800 bags...so here is my issue. I just got the bag today, mind you this is my second MK, my other one was an all leather "Layton", so I know almost nothing about "Jet Set". My daughter has 2 MK bags, a shiny gold tote, and a black and brown checkerboard tote. ANYWAYS, so I open it up, I LOVE IT............BUT the handles have this really odd smell to them....like bittery, burnt, chemically...I don't know what!!! I thought they were suppose to be leather handles...so I went smelling my daughters handles, they all smelled nice and leathery. So my question is, is this normal for "Jet Set" MK handles? Or should they smell like leather, if you have one of these like mine or similar, go sniff the handles for me pleeeease, I'm so upset and nervous. :/ Thank-you!


I should add....the tags are still on this bag...but I know how good fakes are these days......or am I being to crazy?!!!!

Does anyone else have an opinion on whether it's real or fake? I'm up in the air about it. I'm not real familiar with that interior, but that doesn't mean anything. I see the logo in different areas, but I guess there's something that is a little more obvious that you can see in the pictures. That is why I'm unsure.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I found this MK bag at a resale store this weekend and the leather does smell divine and overall it looks good to me. However, I'm not an expert on Michael Kors bags and I wanted to make sure it's authentic while the one-week return policy is still in effect.

There is a dust bag on the inside (that's what the plain white fabric on half of the inside is). There's one little thing that I'm uncertain about on this bag--I know we aren't supposed to mention what they are.

Also, would anyone know what the model is? I'm assuming it's an older style bag.

Thanks so much for your help.

I've never seen that style before. I'm really concerned about the lining and the it doesn't look like real leather.

If you have doubts about the bag return it.

MK bags should never have a chemical smell period. The canvas Jet Set totes will have a bit of a different smell for the first few days, which shouldn't be unpleasant...more like a new car is the closest I can describe it, and the handles will smell of new leather.

Hi,
I'm new to purse forum and I'm new at purchasing designer purses as well. I found the Michael Kors Hamilton Signature EW Satchel on sale on a website called jomashop.com. Here is the link. http://www.jomashop.com/michael-kors-satchel-bag-16000.html
Could you please let me know if this is authentic? I know the website claims to sell authentic stuffs; however I'd like to know your opinions.
Thank you! :smile1:

This is a reputable website. They are listed with the BBB, have an excellent ScamAdvisor standing (very safe and popular website), and have positive reviews from multiple websites regarding a wide variety of their products:tup:

I have some serious doubts about this bag. The interior lining, the stitching, the quality of the hardware and leather (this may be distorted perception because all I have to go on are your pics). IMHO, you seem unsettled about this bag and I recommend you go on your gut feelings with this one.

This looks like it could be a Delancey, they came in a few variations just like the Hamilton does, and if I remember correctly they were in production around the mid-late 2000's with varying price ranges (depending on size/style) but usually under $500.

Thanks so much for helping me pin this one down...I did find a Delancey on ebay with all the same details, but different color. I knew when I touched it, that this was a special bag...and at $4.99 (yes!) even more special! Thanks again!

Thanks for the 2nd. opinion. It's the stitching on the underside of the straps that looks a bit sloppy to me. Everything else looks fine. I will return it then.
