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.

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 jet Set tote is one of the most popular bags that is masss produced and on sale frequently for under 200 dollars. The letters on the front are known to be not perfect on this mass produced item. It is not one of their higher end bags. We have authenticators here that have been here a long time and they will tell you the same thing. That bag is totally authentic. It has the correct lining , label and date code tags which are the main indicators. Please tell me what the date this bag was made? Do you know??

I thought so too, but I was hesitant to say it as another user seemed so certain that there was a problem with it. I trust you and Jojo, as well as the other authenticators that have been here a long time. It is very good to have this thread where we can recieve help and advice:). I have saved a lot of money on your advice!

I thought MK didn't do contrast stitching? That's one of the things they have on all those authentication guides...

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.

CinthiaZ is absolutely correct. There are many guides on ebay and facebook that contain inaccurate information, not only with MK, but Coach and other designers as well, and not sure who is putting that out there, maybe fakers themselves. MK does use contrast stitching on many of his collection and MMK designs. If ever in doubt, please check here first and we will look it over for you!

Thanks so much Norwegiangirl. It takes years of studying and collecting. All of your questions cause us to do even even more research, which keeps us polished. You are a big help here as well.
:woohoo:

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.

Here are three newer models on the MK website right now that have contrast stitching. I am sure there are more. It is true that MOST of the newer designs don't have it, but not all. So that rumor needs to go bye bye! lol! The first one is from the Julie collection. The others are from the 'Claire' bags. If I spent more time I am sure I could find many more, but this is good enough to clarify that MK does indeed use contrast stitching on his designs now and even more so, in his earlier designs.
