Dear Michael Kors Experts-
I have two MK bags that I am interested in at a local Consignment Shop. The first:
Dark Red Patent
Made in China
A-0806
The store is asking $95
I was unable to find a similar bag online, it could be because it was made in 2006.
Thank you!
The second bag in next thread

Both are authentic. You found them at a consignment store? Good find!!

I think they are authentic.. But looking at the lining these bags are outlet versions.

Curious why you are stating the lining would mean they are from the outlets stores?? I have a couple with that lining , One of them s a MK Gansevoort bag, and I bought it from the main store at the mall. Here is a pic of my Gansevoort. I see that lining on many of the bags in the MK store at the mall, and it is no outlet. Is there something different on those linings that I am not seeing?? Just curious.

Wow! That is a scary good fake! baglady3375 is right, when comparing it to the Celine. The zipper pull on the back should be leather and the interiors are leather as well. These counterfeitors are getting scary close to the details on MK bags!! They even have the stitching down pat and are including the date code tags and everything! Could this possibly be an outlet, cheaper version of the Celne?? That is a SCARY good fake!

I agree. It looks authentic and is from a good seller. All of her other bags look good as well her bags in her completed listings. The price tags are all correct, the lining, hardware, everything.

But after seeing that fake Celine bag a couple of posts back, these counterfeitors are getting too good! Geez! I just lost all of my confidence! . Just when you think you might know it all, BAM! You realize you don't know a thing! lol! That baglady3375 is really good and wish was on here more often!

This looks like a Celine bag with MK emblems. This is definitely FAKE. Google CELINE handbag

BAGLADY 3375, you are really GOOD!! I must commend you on catching that Celine bag! I am pretty good myself, but I would have taken that one as authentic! These counterfeitors are even getting the stitching down pat! That is a SCARY good fake! I have never seen you on here and wish you would come back more often. We really need help here. There are not many authenticators for MK bags. I have seen a couple of authentications that were wrong more than once, and it made me not want to come back here anymore.Most of the gals here are pretty good, but even they are not sure sometimes and they will say so. Some know the newer bags better and not many seem to know the vintage very well. Many ladies don't get their questions answered because just one or two or the few that we have here, can't do it all. I try to help out sometimes, but feel out of place and don't want to step on any toes, plus I am not a official pro. I know the bags fairly well and can usually tell genuine from fakes, but I just scared myself tonight and found out I don't know as much as I thought I did! lol! Thanks to YOU! Thanks! lol!

There are so many AWFUL guides online, with so much incorrect information. It's pretty scary.

Michael Kors fans really need someone like you to help us out! Even the pros that you can pay and are accepted by eBay in a dispute, don't even have MK on their list of bags they will authenticate! There are not many places you can go to, even if you pay! Even authenticate4u.com doesn't do Michael Kors and they are one of the few, that are accepted by eBay and PayPal in a dispute. Do you of any others??

I need to ask all of the authenticators here , if any of you ever heard of this CLH Fashion website?? Here is the link.

http://www.clhfashion.com/

They have one of the worst guides online, that I have ever seen! And they are selling Michael Kors and Coach bags on their website. that is out of MALAYSIA! Do any of you know anything about that website?? When I checked the website out, it was deemed as 'risky'. But there has been no reviews on it at all. They are giving out such bad information, such as stating that Michael Kors only uses their signature on either the outside or the inside of their bags, stating it will never be on both?? Even I know that is incorrect.They also state that the date code tabs are always in WHITE!! That is not true at all! I have seen them in brown and black, many times on perfectly authentic bags that I bought at Michael Kors, themselves. How could they be selling genuine bags while giving out such bad information? I have a bad feeling they are selling fakes and ripping many off in the process. I don't want to report them to Michael Kors until I find out more about them. They may be buying and selling real bags from a good source, but just don't know what they're talking about as far as any tips on authenticating? That is possible, depending where they are getting their bags. I hope you will check out that link and tell me what you think and if you know anything about them.Sorry for the big long letter, but I really love Michael Kors and HATE counterfeits with a passion. I so much appreciate what you ladies do here. If we all can help save even one of those poor enslaved children that are forced to make those fakes by terrible criminals, we are doing good!!
Thank you, Cindy.

Hi all,
I'm new here :) Hope you can help me!

Please could anyone shed some light whether this may be genuine or not?:

I know the photo isn't really clear... I am desperate to get hold of a purple version but I just can't find any in the UK at all :(

Thanks in advance.

IMO, I question this seller. After checking her completed listings of handbags, she has only actually sold a total of 3 handbags. All of her other sales were clothing. She does not show enough photos in her handbag listings, to be able to judge authenticity Some signs look good such as the packaging, care cards, etc, but the Selmas are highly faked.
Her Coach bags don't even show the label or serial number so I have to ask, what is she hiding? For some reason , she places her photos sideways?? Also, she does not even know the style names of any of her handbags?? So what else does she not know about handbags I have to ask??. Too many doubts about this seller and not enough handbag feedback to give me any confidence, and one of the three handbag feedbacks she has, had a complaint about packaging and how the bag was dented because of poorly packaged shipping. Anyone who spends good money on an expensive designer handbag, will be more conscience of it 's value to avoid damaging it with lousy packaging. I personally , would not buy from this seller, but I am pretty particular and try to buy from more reputable sellers, that at least know the style name of the bags they are listing. Also, no measurements or any kind of description?? There are Michael Kors Selmas in that color, listed for less money, in the USA. So you would come out the same on what you would spend on shipping.

If you do a search on USA ebay, there are many more violet / purple Selmas. They are also less money and listed by top rated sellers with thousands of positive feedbacks. Do yourself a favor and search for a Michael Kors Selma purple or violet on the USA eBay site and you will find plenty to choose from.. Just my OPINION. Good Luck!

Thanks for your helpful reply CinthiaZ!

I have had a quick look on ebay USA but I can't really see that many (I don't know if what I am viewing is restricted as I'm in the UK). This one looks a bit better (more feedbacks on Kors bags, etc) but again, the photos aren't really very detailed... any opinions?:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-Authe...851?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item19f7886273

If anyone has any ideas on any websites in the US that are willing to ship to UK, that would be great also!

Thanks :)
