I personally don't feel comfortable authenticating an item in a situation like this. I don't know if MyPoupette or a similar online authenticator will do an MK authentication, but maybe that's a good route for you to go.

I also don't feel like I can give any kind of official stamp of approval. Obviously, we're just doing the best we can here to help people verify MKs. We're not brand experts like the ladies in the LV or Coach subforums.

I can give you my opinion and that is that this bag looks absolutely authentic. It is identical in all the details (even down to how the piping goes all the way around one end of the bag and there's a gap around the zipper on the other) to the exact same bag listed on the Nordstrom website.

I suggest you send them the link to the Nordstrom site along with your photos to compare the bags themselves.

As to why you're being given the 3rd degree, I can only assume that someone reported one of your bags as a fake. It is a good practice to get all your bags authenticated as best you can before you list them, anyway, though.

They said that Coach reported a bag i was selling some time ago, maybe because I used stock photos, but I have never bought and never liked fake purses!!! THANK YOU GIRLS!

There are a few reasons not to use stock photos:
1 - Intellectual property theft... you do not own the copyright to those photos.
2 - Many buyers are turned off from auctions/sales without actual photos of the item being sold for many reasons. Could be a scam and the seller doesn't even have the bag, the bag may have flaws that can't be seen since there isn't a picture of the actual bag.
3 - Buyers will almost always win SNAD cases through PP in an auction/sale that used stock photos simply because there isn't even an actual picture of the bag.

So it's just good business sense for a seller to use actual photos of the bag :)

Hi, I picked this cute bag up at a thrift store, but can't find much info online, so am getting a bad feeling about it, is it fake? It is about 8.5" long, 5" high. There is no interior tag, other than an opaque plastic tag in side seam printed with "made in China A-0611". No stamping on the metal except for "MK" on the metal ends of the leather zipper pulls, and pulls are stamped with "MICHAEL KORS".
Many thanks for your help.

I got this tote at a Michael Kors outlet and I was wondering if it was real because I checked the Nordstorm website & the difference between the one on the website and the one I got at the outlet is the way the straps are attached to the bag and the inside of the bag.

Hi guys! Can you please authenticate this Michael Kors Hamilton tote for me? I'm a bit hesitant about this one because I've never seen this colour and texture on a Hamilton before! Thanks in advance :)

hi fashion_guru4'
I am by no means an expert but I saw this bag just the other day at Dillards and it was beautiful. So I do think it is authenticate.
