I can right off the bat authenticate a Selma bag because I own a couple of them. But your best bet is to compare it to a real one online or in store would be much better. The Selma is one of the easiest bags to authenticate.

Hi, this wallet could be real; but the studs around the plate with the Michael kors logo do not look authentic. There is definitely something fishy with that gold hardware on the front. If you are thinking about purchasing it I always recommend to buy from a reputable retailer such as Michael kors directly or a department store so you can be 100% sure!
The reason I was asking about authenticating fake stud Selma.. is because here are some Selma knock-offs sold in Asia. I believe they're from Hong Kong. I think they look extremely authentic, and the only dead giveaway was the price. Of course, I don't really know how to authenticate the studded Selma, so this may look really fake to an expert eye 
These cost about a little more than $100 here in Asia, and they have about every color under the sun.

Here are more pictures of the $100 fake Selma from Hong Kong! These colors are obviously not easy to find, but they've got unlimited supply of knock-offs.

That is one of many things that must add up. Just because the studs look correct the lining. hardware and many other thing have to be correct as well and if they don't all add up, it's not authentic. But yes, the studs can help you fit the pieces of the puzzle together..
Thanks! It'll be great if you can refer to the pictures on top and let me know if they look obviously fake, or not. If I can base off those pictures, I can avoid buying knock-offs in Asia, since there're so many of them and those could easily fool me, especially the studded ones.
Gad Zooks. The color blocks are hideous and very obvious.One huge red flag is the color of the paper work. I don't even need to go any further than that. Scary how prevalent these fakes have become. They are spreading like wild fire. What a shame,Here are more pictures of the $100 fake Selma from Hong Kong! These colors are obviously not easy to find, but they've got unlimited supply of knock-offs.
I agree the color can be a big giveaway, but for some colors, like, black and navy, are they less likely to be deemed fake? It drives me nuts how 9/10 Selma in Asia are most likely fake, because people don't want to pay $500 for the retail value here (and I don't blame them) and they can't be bothered to have the bags shipped from the US.
These colors are so fake, I cringed.

Yeah I agree the colors looked super fake, and the zipper does not at all look like my Selma, the Michael kors tags do not even remotely look authentic. But the saffiano leather and the stitching did look legit. Keep in mind that anything from Asia is never authentic. They have a huge industry of knock off designer goods. And also, a lot of them will put a picture of the real deal to get you to buy it and when it arrives it's obviously a fake. But yeah these are really close knockoffs
