Michael Kors Authenticate this MICHAEL KORS

[Pursecrazymom]

I have heard that rumor also about the stitching!!!

 

[lvmk]

No, that is a big rumor. All really good designers use beautiful contrast stitching ,and that is why it is called, 'contrast stitching' Coach, LV, Gucci, Michael Kors, ALL of them do it! A good designer would not be a good designer, if they didn't use beautiful , detailed contrast stitching. That is one of the very things that makes designer bags so much better than the generic no name brands, is contrast stitching, although generic brands do it as well, it just doesn't look as good. Can you see how perfect every stitch is on that bag?? That is why they use contrast stitching, to highlight the beauty of the craftsmanship.
I don't know who started that ridiculous rumor but it is frustrating. Ask anyone on this MK forum and look at all the bags here and you will see plenty of contrast stitching on many Michael Kors designs. The only so called 'guide ' I ever saw that on, was that goofy post on facebook that is so full of false information, it is beyond belief. They even claim that Michael Kors never has the signature pattern on both the inside and outside, and that is also completely wrong. MK has dozens of designs with the signature pattern on both sides. That facebook post is really screwing people up! People are probably not buying and reporting totally authentic bags because of it.
Please refer me to any other guide you saw that on, besides the one on facebook, about the contrast stitching and MK not using it. I'll be shocked to see it anywhere else and I am certain it s not on this forum anywhere. Do you know who started that guide on facebook? If you really check who they are, you won't be referring to that guide anymore. I hope this clarifies this for you. I am sure Jojo21 will come along soon and verify.

I think also the thing that gets people is that there is absolutely no contrast stitching whatsoever on any current MK designs except for one high end Michael Kors bag with LARGE contrast stitching as a decoration.

It is mostly true on the newer bags, especially with all the saffiano leather totes these days, but to say that Michael Kors will never have contrast stitching is just not the case. I have seen it on so many of their bags over the years, and here is one recent pebble leather tote that is online right now with contrast stitching, so we can never say never.

Here are more on some vintage bags, and you do see it quite often on the Astors, which are still sold in retail stores and outlets.

Here is a pretty pink one with white contrast stitching. Is a shame if they totally discontinue this because look how pretty that looks. I Thought it just made that recent find of mine, which was the Astor Moxley Zip combo. That bag is gorgeous. I am sure they will continue some this way and eventually do more of it again.. But the problem we have here is people deeming all contrast stitched bags by MK as fakes, and maybe that is so on a Selma, but certainly not all of them,

Yes, and we know where you heard that don't we? lol! Same place you heard that there is never tte signature on both the ilining and the outside.. Gosh, I wish someone would take down that GUIDE!! Yikes!

I know, the high end line has contrast, and it's usually larger than normal stitches.

Not all high end bags. This Miranda in cerulean blue has stitches the same color as the bag, although the stitches are bigger.

That's pretty! But did you see the other contrast stitched bags I posted? You are right about them being mostly on the older lines, but the problem is, many people are selling these vintage bags on ebay, and because one stupid guide states that MK NEVER has contrast stitching, these poor sellesr are getting avoided and reported, when their bags are authentic! See what the problem is here?? That guide is wrong and causing much grief for many people with perfectly authentic bags.

I bought from online seller, realized that the 'S' is abit lower.

 

[Pursecrazymom]

The Kors gold label on the front of the bag above looks all messed up. I don't think that is a good sign at all

The seller said this is normal, because the wording is done by hand, and also advice me bring to outlet to check the authenticity if i have doubt, but they cant fix the wording.

No worries. There is nothing wrong with this bag. It is totally authentic. The Jet Set tote has been known to have crooked letters. The bag is authentic I assure you. Our head authenticator Jojo21 will chime in in the morning and I am sure she will agree, your bag is 100% authentic.
