From the photos provided, the bag looks fine, however, it would be better if we could see the interior lining. label and date code tag. I checked the sellers other listings and her completed listings as well, and all of her bags appear to be authentic. I don't like that she doesn't offer returns? To be safe, ask her to send you a photo of the interior. Thank you.

Hmm I'll ask for more pics but I might avoid this one because of the no returns. Thank you!

ebay has a buyer protection program. Even if sellers don't offer returns, they HAVE to do one if an item is not as described, so sellers saying they don't do returns is futile, because ebay over rides this with their buyer protection policy. It is a very good deal if she will send you the interior photo. That is a good sign of honesty and good customer service. Let's see if she sends it before you give up.

The seller shouldn't have any reason not to send more pictures if you request them. I tend to stay away from sellers who don't send or post enough pictures. Makes me think they're hiding something.
 
Jojo21, I am sure this bag is authentic, but because it is so rare, I want your opinion too. This is truly a one of a kind and I am thinking of selling it so I want to be able to say it was authenticated here on the purse forum, because I know folks will question the authenticity because it's the ONLY ONE!! I can not find another one like it! Thinking it is from a limited edition or was used as a runway bag. I am having a hard time deciding if should sell or keep it. Tell me if you agree with me about authenticity. I know it is an older model because of this lining, but this IS an official MK lining, I am sure you have seen it before as well. Here are the first four pics and I will put more in a following post. Can you believe this bag?? I'm blown away by it! It is a combo of the Uptown Astor and Mosley Tote! I have never seen this and am thinking it's from a limited edition. I googled it and could not find anything about it!

Next set of interior.

CinthiaZ, I agree with you, I'm absolutely positive this bag is authentic. All of the details are correct including the lining. It is absolutely gorgeous! I remember seeing this style once, but it was several years ago and I don't recall the style name. If I can find the style name, I'll be sure to let you know! Authentic, no doubt about it!

Thanks Jojo!! I am calling it the Astor Moxley Tote! lol! If you find it I'll be amazed! Thanks so much Jojo! Don't know what we'd do without you! You are our Fairy Godmother over here! lol! Thanks again!
 
I have seen this bag in real life (in Canada) it is an older model so it doesn't surprise me much, we always get stuck with old stuff, but it's still a nice bag none the less! It looks Authentic!
It IS authentic! Jojo said so! lol! Glad you agree. DO they have them new in the stores, there in Canada?? That's some pretty nice old stuff I wish they still had here! lol ! Also, that older lining is so much thicker and sturdier than these new thin sateen linings. The newer linings will not last near as long and will tear much easier. The only thing better is they might clean up easier , but as far as wear and tear, the older thick cotton weave linings are much better quality and usually last for years and years. I see so many torn linings on newer Selmas, etc, that have tears in them already. The older bags, just like everything else in the world was made better back when they took the time and spent the money to do things right. Too many cutting corners these days. Just my opinion from an old lady! lol!

It looks good. I wish she would use flash when photographing the interior so we could see it better, but all other indications are that of an authentic Selma. Also , she has been selling authentic MK bags in the past and Louis Vuitton. She appears to purchasing from a good source. I would feel comfortable bidding on this bag. It would be nice to see the interior better. You could ask for a pic of the interior and ask her to use her flash so you can see the label and signature lining, but even if she doesn't get back to you on time, she offers returns and you could post your own pic here. If we find it not authentic at that time, she will have to pay your return shipping, so you really can't lose. I really do thing the bag is authentic, anyhow.
 
Hey everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this question. If not let me know and I will relocate it. So I have read that Kors bags will not have an exterior logo and an interior logo. I assume that means if your bag is MK on the outside it should either have the cream canvas lining or just a satin lining stating kors? I have two older handbags from around 2007. Both are the circle monogram on the outside and the interior lining is a also the satin type with a super light circle print monogram also. Did I read wrong info? What are your thoughts?

I bet I know where you read that was on that stupid facebook page. Right? That is so incorrect like so many other statements they make. There are hundreds of authentic MK designs that have the signature patterns both on the outside and inside of the bags. I saw those people telling ladies with perfectly authentic bags, that their bags were fake. They are so uninformed it is ridiculous. If that is where you saw this, stay as far away from that facebook post as you can. Very uninformed over there. People coming out of nowhere with baseless opinions. Your bag is probably totally authentic. Do you have any pics? We have some really good authenticators here that know these bags inside and out. I think I might be one of them! lol!

Thanks so much and yes it was facebook. The one bag I purchased myself so I know it's real. The other off Ebay. I think the code is ap-1107 Anyhow phew... I was beginning to think the counterfeit market took over Macy's LOL.

But I do wonder if the lining can tell you if a bag is real or not? For instance while surfing Ebay are there certain linings that are not typical of Kors? From what I have seen the heavy cream canvas is the older models, then you have the circle logo lining like two of my bags have, and I have also seen a very subtle lining with kors etched. I'd love your thoughts. Thank you for your post I do appreciate it.
