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 :)

Yes, that seller looks much better and at least she knows the style name of her bags! lol! and has a much more detailed description. Her feedback looks better but there are still not enough photos for me.The dust bag looks OK but if that is saffiano leather, the grain doesn't look right, unless she adjusted her camera settings to look more grainy. Ask seller if they will send you a pic of the interior lining, label and made in counrty, date code tab, and then post them here.That is the only way we can tell for sure.

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!

Could someone help to authenticate this MK Bag:
Item: MK Large Austin Leather Hobo/Shoulder Bag
No item # or Link: Bag is on hold at a local consignment store
Comments: I found a number of Austin bags on the web, but was unable to find one in this rich chocolate brown color. The brown that I saw are in 'Luggage Brown' which appears in images to be a lighter brown. The zippers are stamped with 'Ideal' not YKK.

Thank you!

I have been lurking on the the forum for quite some time. I only joined in May. Being able to separate real from fake is quite hard nowadays when people have access to real leather, metal duplicating machines for emblems etc, zippers with correct markings and identical linings. When I saw that mk/celine bag, my fingers started tapping. Glad I could help. I'm into vintage and this site has saved me a couple of times too.

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.

I wish the seller had posted more pics that were closer. I have a violet hamilton i was going to compare this bag to but the pics are too far away. I'm sorry. Wish I could help. Try MK and Macy's here in the states. I saw grape selmas with s/h today on Macy's site. Regular price but you know it's authentic.

It has all the tell tale signs of an authentic Hamilton bag. The care cards and receipts are the right color, all the hardware and engraving is correct. The lining and compartments are correct for a Hamilton. The stitching, label, belts, ALL of it, is correct. That is how I can tell. I don't see any red flags what so ever.and Macy's is a retailer of Michael Kors. Good Luck!

Hello,
I'm not sure if I'm posting properly or not but I couldn't find any other way. I acquired this Michael Kors handbag and have tried to research to find a name for the style and to determine if it was authentic.
I found one like it on a Facebook site " https://www.facebook.com/notes/coac...o-spot-a-fake-michael-kors-mk/573929529341881 ". You have to scroll down a good distance to find it.
One person responded that it was a fake and then another came along and said that it was real and referenced this site. I am hoping you can help me. The leather is fantastic, it has that rich leather smell, the construction is excellent, the hardware is quality. I sure would appreciate your help. Thank You Much! http://img3.sellersourcebook.com/users/8970/mk.jpg http://img3.sellersourcebook.com/users/8970/mk2.jpg http://img3.sellersourcebook.com/users/8970/mk4.jpg http://img3.sellersourcebook.com/users/8970/mk12.jpg http://img3.sellersourcebook.com/users/8970/mk13.jpg

Thank you so much for your time. I went to Macy's today and got myself the hamilton there instead. Now I don't have to worry about if the bag is fake lol. Got dark khaki instead of dark dune because it's sold out everywhere. 25% off too :)

That is the best thing to do to be sure, if you don't feel comfortable shopping online. Much faster too! LOOK! You have it already! lol! I do want to tell you that I have discovered a professional authenticator for Michael Kors bags. They are'****************** dot com. ' You have to pay them, but they are accepted by ebay and paypal in a dispute over authenticity. They are professionals and very good at what they do. Thought you might like to have this info in case you ever see something online that you can't resist! Enjoy your new MK and Happy Thanksgiving! .

That is a very nice vintage bag and is appears to be authentic. The interior lining is the material used on many of their vintage bags and the way it is woven looks like authentic vintage material. Can you send a pic of the leather label? Also, are the inside pockets trimmed with leather and is there a key clip leash inside?
Here ( link below) is another Michael Kors vintage bag and if you look at the inside lining you will see it has the same material as yours and has that same woven pattern in it , that is used on many authentic Michael Kors vintage bags.It is a thick quality, canvas like material. Your bag is in the luggage leather. It looks fine so far, but would be good to see the label and compartments.
Maybe someone else can chime in with a style name.

That facebook guide is full of false information. You are better off here. We can also send you to paying services, if we can't tell you, but there are many great ladies here that know and have been collecting for a long time. Please add the pic of the label and more of the interior. Thanks.

We need to see pics of the interior lining, the leather rectangular MK label and the little tab that says the 'made in country' with a set of numbers on it.
