Hi,

Could someone authenticate this bag with only the 2 pictures? It's on a local FB group and want to make sure it's authentic.

I know you normally need more pictures but these are the only ones posted. If you need more, I can ask for them.

Thanks!

Based on only the 2 photos, I would say this is an authentic vintage bag. More photos would be helpful to give you a 100% confirmation.
 
No, it's the chat :yes: Of course thank you and you're welcome is great. This thread had a great deal of drama the past few days, we've learned that if only questions and answers are given then it's better.


You're welcome to PM me with questions.

Hello all, my mum purchased some MK handbags a few years ago from the official MK store in Malaysia for full retail price (overprice). She now wants me to sell if but looking at the purse I notice the lining is different than what I have seen before (compared to my selma's lining, the selma is more thinner), making me question the authenticity. I'm not 100% sure of the name of the bag it looks similar to the Camden but it does not have the tassels and the Camden has leather threaded through the holes not chains so has my mum been sold a really bad fake from the official store?!:wondering:-s

Pics attached, sorry if it comes up sideways I took the pics on my iPhone.

AUTHENTIC!! I have one just like it. It is an authentic Vanilla Jet Set Chained O Ring tote.. Yes the lining is not a sateen material like your Selma. it is more of a cotton weave and is used on many authentic MK bags. Totally authentic and in good shape! Here is a pic of mine, but it was made in Vietnam instead of Indonesia. Even has the same built in ring for the key charm / fob. Also I can tell by the stitching. This one looks a little different only because it is stuffed full and hanging upright which elongates the straps. Totally authentic! No worries.

Thank you, that's such a relief!! Although the leather looks a bit different? Yours is like pebbled leather >< my mum's looks like the snake embossed leather but I've only ever seen that type of leather shiny (like on selma's). My sister also bought a gansevoort at the same time as this bag and they have the same lining and same exact snake embossed leather look and when I had googled it only came up in pebbled leather so I thought it might've been a fake! I hope this is ok to discuss.. I was extremely worried as they spent about $450-500 each for the bags and would be devastated if it was a fake.

Yes, I wasn't sure but now that I look closer, it is what they call a 'matte' python. Matte, meaning flat, not shiny. I have a matte python middleton bag that has the exact same cotton weave lining, like yours. Here is a pic of my matte python middleton lining. See? It is identical. I just learned something! They must use this lining on the matte python bags. As you can see this matte python 'Middleton' bag, has the exact same flat python finish, and you said your sister's matte python Gansevoort also has the exact same lining ! Wow! . I love this forum! Figure out something new all the time! Thanks! I don't know if we can discuss it either, but when we learn things from each other and figure things out, I don't see how that can be wrong? Not sure anymore. I guess we'll find out soon enough. lol! And yes, the matte Python bags are very rare and expensive. This Middleton matte python tote, retailed for 478.00.

So your Mom's bag is an AUTHENTIC 'Jet Set O Ring Chained Matte Python Tote'.

Hi, please could someone have a look at this for me and let me know if you think it's authentic, thanks. Sorry for the bad pictures! http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=221669469668
The paper work looks official but that can be obtained easily. There really aren't enough pics to say for sure and this tote is one of the most highly faked MK bags. Also, she only has 3 feedbacks with no selling history of selling anything, or any authentic bags. I personally would either ask for more pics listed in my signature below, or I would move on. There has been an invasion of new sellers listing the Jet Set Tote lately and 90 percent of them have been fakes. Notice no one else has bid on it and there is only 18 hours left to the auction.There is a reason for this and it is mainly because of the lack of selling history.

The only place I would buy a Jet Set tote is at Michael Kors themselves or one of their known distributors, because they are so highly faked. If you live outside of the USA and don't have MK stores, you can try Bloomingdales here in the USA. They deliver Internationally. Also, this bag goes on sale quite often. With patience , and shopping, you can get one for a good price from a reputable retailer. Good Luck.

Can someone please assist to take a look at this website? MK is selling very cheap for a selma it is around $220 only! Too tempted to buy but i spotted the shape of selma is a bit off.

Many thanks in advance!
Looks very good! Checked all of her other bags, especially the ones I know well, and they are all authentic. It appears to be based in the United States and from a reputable seller with good reviews. I would buy from this site with confidence and thanks for sharing it with us!
