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

LOOK! I found a couple just like yours on ebay.! They all have the same design and type of engraving.
I am sure your bag is a an authentic vintage Michael Kors. Yours is in very good condition. You can compare it to these listings. I noticed it was stated on that facebook guide that MK doesn't ever use contrast stitching?? That is GUMP!! Of course they do on many designs! That guide will just mislead. Do yourself a favor and don't go back there. All you will get is wrong information.

Hmmm I may not agree..Just feel something a bit fishy and it's confirmed that the seller used 2 different pics of the bag..
From some details and in certain angles, the selma bag doesn't look in a good shape to me..
I'm afraid it's a superfake selma. Probably additional pics such as tag inside the bag, the leather creed, zipper pull, and the details on the longer strap are necessary to confirm

Hi Ladies, I bought a Hamilton bag. Please look at this pic and tell me if this handle is broken, or there is supposed to be a bend in it like this. I did notice it was on the other handle as well. Is this damaged or do they make them like this to give it some maneuverability, or what?? What do you think?

It looks twist for me. I have 1 hamilton bag and doesn't seem to have that kind of problem
It looks twisted due to improper handling/ storage but probably wait for another opinion because I wasn't 100% sure

There is a photo of the interior and the the lining is correct and the label is in the right place. Compartments look correct and so does all the paperwork. Also, the grain in the leather is correct for the Saffiano leather. I don't see anything wrong with it and agree with Jojo that it is authentic. What pic are you stating is two different pics?? What are you referring to?

Also, all of her other bags are auhentic and all of the bags in her completed listings look good her feedback is fantastic! What are you basing your evaluation on?? This bag is totally authentic.

Based on many things, I deem it to be authentic as well. The saffiano leathr has the correct grain in it. The paperwork is correct. The lining is correct and all the hardware is correct as well. All of the other bags this seller has listed are authentic and all of the bags she sold, viewed in her completed listings, are authentic as well, plus this seller has vey good reviews from many buyers. I agree with Jojo that it is authentic.

Hi I Pm ed you..Don't be too excited, I can be wrong too but please reconsider what I explained to you in my PM.. I was just thinking it's better to be more careful as nowadays it's just too many superfakes in the market. You can't trust all sellers by the review only..
For me I would need some more pics to confirm coz the pics posted are not enough in my opinion due to some not clear small details provided by the seller..
You can tell me if my opinion is still wrong 😉

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! .

Cool but I won't see the review of the sellers to judge whether or not the bag is authentic as it's not uncommon for fakers to have fantastic reviews.

Anyway it's ok, the decision is still up to the buyer. I'm still confident with what I doubted.
My suggestion is to look more closely from pic to pic. (find the slightest details, is there really nothing wrong with the pic?)
I hope Jojo can also correct me if I were wrong :)

Sorry I'm not trying to suddenly jump and mess with everyone, I can be wrong but let me hear your opinion again after my explanation :)

I did reply to your PM. Your questions are understandable but there are several possible explanations. Also, this seller has sold too many authentic bags and has several other authentic bags listed. It appears she is getting them from a nearby Michael Kors Outlet store, and listing them on ebay, which is nice, because many of us don't have outlet stores nearby, I really do believe the bag is authentic. I see no major alarms to indicate otherwise.

I wish I could post my explanation here so that people can help me to judge but from other experience and Jojo has also reminded me before few days back that it's not wise to point out the mistake in this thread since fakers can always read this thread..

I won't comment further but it's up to the buyer to decide whether she want to ask more clear details pics as I requested to confirm what I'm doubting or she can go ahead if she's happy with it.

As I mentioned, I just gave my opinion from the pics posted by the seller and I will never see seller review in the first place because it can change my objective opinion on the bag itself.
If I found the slightest mistake on the details, I will ask more to reconfirm..I won't use seller's reviews to change what I found become invisible just because a seller got fantastic reviews

I trusted that not all designs will be sold at MK outlet especially those exclusively boutique designs :)

What are included in exclusive boutique designs????? Just a hint to do rechecking :) :) :)
