I have to stop searching for bags. I may have bought three bags in the last few days. The specchio Hamilton in pearl grey with shw, the cerulean blue Miranda and now perhaps this one; the black saffiano leather Hamilton specchio with shw. I've asked for interior photo, the label inside and why the key is missing. To me it looks ok. What do you think?

So far, so good , but need to see interior. The outside looks right, the care cards and dust bag look good, but an interior shot would tell us for certain.

Hi, i was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me if this authentic. It is the Jet set travel tote.

I'm not sure how well you can see but there is a pinkish bit showing between the block of the strap.

There seems to be a staple of some kind holding together part of the strap. This is on both front straps.

The stamped logo is not straight.

The key hook does not have Michael Kors stamped on it.

Ykk zipper stamped on the side.

Leather overlaps a bit on the top of the bag.

Your bag appears to be authentic. The key hooks do not get stamped. The zippers look good. As far as the staples, I can't see them and don't know what that is about. Perhaps a repair?? Did you buy this used? The overlap on the edges is normal.There have been complaints before about the crooked lettering on these bags in the past. The Jet Set Tote is not one of their higher end bags. The interior looks correct and so do the tags. and dust bag. I say it's authentic. Although the jet Set Tote is one of the most highly faked bags. It would help if you revealed where or who it was purchased from. But with the pics you have provided , it looks fine.

Thank you
I bought it off ebay. http://www.ebay.com.au/usr/ruby-galaxy
It was hard to get a good picture of it but in the circle part that you pull the strap through on the side you can (kinda) see a small silver line that's actually a staple i just thought it was strange. Where i live you can't buy Michael kors in store so i wasn't sure if that was something they did on their bags or not since i couldn't compare in person.

Our Jojo21 will come on here soon. Maybe she can tell you more about the staples? I never saw that either, but it could mean a lot of things. I am not alarmed about them, because everything else looks good. The Jet Set Tote isn't one of their more expensive bags so they could use short cuts on it. It wouldn't surprise me. They are made in mass production because so many of them are sold and they may cut corners here and there. Since it is one of their least expensive totes, and is a handsome looking bag,that is why so many of them are sold.

The seller looks to be selling designer bags, mostly Long Champ, so I am sure she knows what to look for and to acquire from good sources, however, she has only sold two Micheal Kors bags. IMO, I think it is authentic, but would like for Jojo21 to chime in here and see what she thinks. I will PM her tomorrow and ask her to take a look as well. Or she may pop in any time , probably in the morning since it is late. The staples have me a bit puzzled too. Otherwise, everything else, really does look good. Meanwhile, I am going to see what I can find out about this seller's Long Champ bags .

Agree with CinthiaZ, your jet set tote looks authentic. The staples puzzle me as well but there could be explanations for that. Everything else is spot on.

CinthiaZ thank you for your help. Actually I had won it but not paid yet as I wanted to come here with the photos first. I had my doubts but I only collect vintage authentic bags so thank you for the input. I just messaged the seller telling her I refuse to purchase it and for her to dispose of the handbag properly or I will contact Ebay. I really appreciate your help.;)
