Whew what a relief! Thanks again CinthiaZ and cdtracing for authenticating. ;)

Just curious, I was checking other Jet Set totes and most of them have the silk fabric round logo lining. But the one I posted (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Michael-...4ae44aaa0a&clk_rvr_id=775928161833&rmvSB=true) doesn't have that kind of lining (could it be because it's an old model?). Is that ok? Thank you!
This is the PVC Monogram Jet Set tote The linings are on the leather Jet Sets. The monogram PVC bags often don't have the lining. And yes, it depends on what year it was made. Some of the PVC totes do have linings.Also, this is the small tote you are looking at.

I agree with Jojo21. No doubt your bag is authentic. As far as you asking about the gold wearing off and showing silver metal, we actually have an entire separate thread about this topic and how to avoid it. Michael Kors uses a spray finish product for their gold, so no, it is not unusual at all. They do not use real brass or nickle. And yes, their are variations in bags, with different linings and heat stamps, depending on year and country made. Nice bag! Authentic!
Great thanks very much! Would you be able to direct me to the post regarding the gold rubbing off? I've noticed it has happened to the charm hanging down on the front too, kinda annoying as the seller said it was in excellent condition with no faults, but I did get it for a good price. Is there any thing you can do to restore the gold colour?
 
Hi all, Help please!

I bought this bag from a neighbor. I know my Coach bags, but nothing about MK. Real or not? The thing that concerns me is no MK lining or MK leather tag on the inside. Hardware is heavy & solid. :smile1:

Thanks! Heather

Thanks

While this sell has 100% positive feedback, I can't really tell if they have a track record of selling authentic purses. Also, they do not offer a return policy but Ebay does offer protection. More pictures & clearer are needed; especially of the interior lining, heat stamp, made in country/date tag & hardware.

I am not familiar with this bag. I would turn this over to CinthiaZ or JoJo to evaluate. I'm concerned about the lining & no interior MK label. I will need to research this one.

MK bags are noy wrapped that way. It is located in Philippines, inner tag looks a little to clear (it should be both white and clear). Inner clasp looks odd and zipper pull too. Do not trust IMO

Cdtracing is correct. This bag should have a label/ heat stamp on it and the zipper compartment doesn't look right. I don't think this bag is authentic...
One more question, does it have a made in country tag? It would be located on the inner left side of the interior, on the seam. Many time MK has givaways at their stores when you buy 2 or more bags, they give you a mass production tote with the purchase and often it won't have a heat stamp / label. That cotton tweed interior does look like an MK lining. I am just wondering if this is one of their givaway totes. Please see if you can locate a made in country tag and post it here. Thank you.

Here is the link to the thread .

I wouldn't hold that against the seller too much. She may not have noticed it and was referring to no rips or stains on the bag and not looking at the hardware. Plus this is such a common problem with MK, some of us just expect it to be there on a used bag.
There really isn't much you can do about it yourself. You could take it to a shoe repair store that repairs handbags as well. Many of them do, you just have to call around and ask them. They could probably repaint it for you. This is why I only buy MK with silver hardware, because it doesn't have any paint on it. Good Luck!
