hello experts,
just a quick question but very important to me, I was told that all the authentic medium selma has lining that can’t be pulled. Is this true? coz I have a medium grommet selma in black which lining can be pulled and I bought it from a reputable seller that I know only sells authentic.
Please, please, please..any answers or advice are really appreciated.
thank you
 
Hello, Ladies!

Newbie here, so I hope I'm doing this right.
I just bought this Michael Kors Hamilton Traveler on ebay.

Honestly, it didn't occur to me right away that people counterfeit Michael Kors bags. So I went ahead and bought it for over $200.00, before doing my research.
After doing some reading, I learned that there are fake MKs out there, and the date code doesn't look like this in the very last picture on authentic MKs.
I wonder if this opaque white plastic tag is for the item number, and it's covering the real date code?

The seller has good ratings, and from the detailed pictures the seller posted, I feel that s/he is selling an authentic bag. But I'm just worried and curious.

Could you ladies out there help me? I appreciate it!

No, that is not true.It is mostly true on the larger Selmas and that can depend on the year and country the bag was made in. Please send the photos requested below in my signature so we can evaluate the bag to eliminate any doubt or the link to the listing, . Thank you.

The bag you bought is authentic. The made in country tab with date code is behind that white tab/ serial #, in the pics. You will see it when you get the bag. Michael Kors is highly counterfeited, especially the Hamiltons because they are so popular. Be careful becaues the site is loaded right now, with fake 'Christmas gifts'.
 
Made in Turkey?

Wow! I looked it up and apparently they DO make Mirandas in Turkey! God, I love this forum. never stop learning! That is looking better every minute. But wait for others, cuz I'm way off on this one! lol! I can't believe that price! What a deal you will be getting for less than 400.00!! Hope Jojo or ACM can give you a go ahead based on the other pics. WOW! Made in Turkey. I wonder what other countries i don't know about?

All I am familiar with is China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Italy and now Turkey. Are they any others??
First, thanks again for all your help CinthiaZ, ACM1134, and Jojon21.

I got the bag today and it looks pretty good. While in the choose the bag size she chose large, the description didn't say so. I was a bit surprised to pull it out of the box and see the size. It smells good, leather is nice and supple and the color is pretty. The seller was only so-so responsive, but got the bag out quickly (even with the holiday). I did ask about the shop worn areas and there are two places where the dye seems a bit off- maybe a storage issue? What pictures would you like?

Hi, Please see my signature for requested pics. Thank you
 
Ok, lots of pictures coming :) Let me know if you'd like any others/ closeups. The tag was hard to photograph. The front says "Michael Kors/ Made in Turkey" The back "IZMK-1303T"

Thanks! I'm pretty excited. As I said, a bit surprised by the larger size, but I guess it will be easier to get on/off shoulder and with the leather being so supple, it doesn't overwhelm. It's pretty slouchy!

Thanks again!
 
Can you guys tell me about this? I requested more pics

Wow! ebay took them down after we reported them and she relisted again under a different user ID trying to pass them off as authentic! This is a crook of the worse kind! Has no regard for buyers, ebay rules or even the law! It is against the law to sell fakes!

You really got a heck of deal there. Don't you LOVE good buys like that? You are lucky because that was almost mine! lol!
 
Can someone tell me if this is authentic or not? I did a lot of research and it seems authentic but I don't know. Please help me out!
