I say fake after further evaluation. That stitching on the back doesn't look right to me. Wait for other opinions on this one,. Also, why would anyone sell a 1400.00 bag in that good of shape for 350.00?? Also, please look at this seller's feedback acquired from Toolhaus and decide for yourself, if this is someone you want to purchase from.

Thanks CinthiaZ- I'm not an expert, but the pricing and the feedback made me pretty wary, so I wanted another opinion.

Appreciated!

Who said that? Did someone say that somewhere? We are just asking for pics of date code tags.Oh, I see what you are referring to now. It depends what country they were made in and the year. Some come out and some don't. However, that bag is totally authentic. The paper work and everything about it lines up. Plus that is the medium Selma, not the large one.

I was just surprised to see the photo where the whole lining was pulled out.
I own a Mandarin Medium Selma but I don't think I can do that.
I haven't really tried but will do so when I have time. Just look funny :roflmfao:

Anyhow, would love opinions as to whether this bag is authentic or not.

Thanks :)

I have two Miranda's and it looks good to me. They don't make them with the pebbled deer leather anymore so that may be why it is priced so low. The seller has 99% positive feedback so that is good. The dust bag is incorrect though, it should be brown and thick. The one they are using is from his line of Michael Michael Kors bags which would be fine just may indicate she no longer has the original dust bag but is replacing it with one of his other style dust bags. If you can, send her a message and ask if you can have a picture of the code tab on the inside.

Looks good to me! I agree with acm about asking for a full picture of the tag. It looks like seller didn't have the original dust bag so is including a newer MMK with the bag. All of seller's other MK listings look authentic as well.

Jojo, is that stitching on the back of that bag correct?? I compared it to others and did not see stitching like that on the back of any other Mirandas? Maybe it was the year? Not sure, but how come none of the others have it?? And why is she selling it so cheap?? That is a 1400.00 bag! and did you see her feedback on toolhaus.org ?? She has 70 negatives, and 85 nuetrals. Most of them for not receiving the item. So what, she just takes money and doesn't ship? But she does have a lot more positives. I would be horrified if I had that many negs on my account, wouldn't you? Click on this link to see all her negative feedback.

From my Googling, it looks like the color is from 2013. The current Mirandas look to only have the one horizontal stitching across the top, but from 2013 there looks to be the three stitchings- one vertical on each side and a horizontal.

Good luck getting those pictures. From her feedback history, she doesn't respond to emails. Hope you get them because I am highly suspicious of the price.

Check out this link to see all her negative feedback for not shipping and damaged items.

Agree... the pictures (and getting them) will be key. On the page it said that she doesn't generally respond over the weekend, so not expecting to hear back until next week. But, we'll see. Obviously, I'd love for this to work out, but there are a couple of factors making me pretty cautious!

Truly appreciate all the opinions.

Thanks Jojo, that was the main thing throwing me off a bit. Will be good if the seller sends the date code tag, but I'll be surprised if she does. I too, requested a full shot of the price tag. That will be really good to see. Did you check out the feedback history on the toolhaus link I gave you? Many of them were complaints about not responding.

The bad part is that someone else might snag it while you are waiting! That is an awful good deal that you hate to pass up. One thing you can do is grab it before anyone else does, and then send us the pics we need after you get it. eBay has very good buyer protection. If it's not authentic she will have to refund and even pay return shipping. It would probably be faster than waiting for her response (lol!) and possibly losing that good deal! Especially if it is authentic! From what Jojo and ACM state, there is a very good chance it is real. Up to you, of course. Just hate for you to lose it to someone else!

These are the backs of my quilted Miranda's (scarlet is small, black is large) one was bought at the MK store the other was bought from bloomingdales. The stitching on the black is the same as this bag. Also the bag in the listing retails at $995 therefore the price is decent.

Thanks! She has now posted some new pictures on the listing. The date code is shown as what might be a separate tab. The tab says "Michael Kors/ Made in Turkey." The date code tab says (I think) IMK413031 (there might be another number after that, and I'm not sure about the 4).
