Here are some more pics from my post above!

It's hard to see here, but the Michael Kors stamp is actually not completely indented. The "Kors" is slightly faded, kind of like they didn't wait long enough for the metal to actually be indented.

The one on the left (gray) is mine. You can see the handles are somewhat different, my gray one is much more neat where they glued the edges together.
IMG_0018.jpg

And here, I noticed that my gray zipper pull is thinner than the new purse (gold one is way thicker). I'm not sure if it's just because the black selma is just a newer model or what or maybe it depends on what country it was made in. My gray one says it was Made in Vietnam. The black one says Made in Indonesia.

This dust bag doesn't look like the one I got when I bought my gray selma. The other one I have has brown MK in the circle and the quality just feels different also.

Hi I'm new here and would like to authenticate my MK Large Selma bag. I bought this off eBay. The dust bag I received doesn't look like the one you normally get, with the brown MK words in the circle - so that's one of the things that made me suspicious. Also, the way the handles are sealed together doesn't look super neat and doesn't feel smooth like it does normally when I compare it to my other selma bag. I will post a couple pics where I compare the handles of the two bags and the zipper pull. I have another post here that I posted more pictures of (including the dustbag and two pictures comparing it with my gray selma). It also has a very strong odor, although I'm not sure what the new bags are supposed to smell like because I bought my gray selma used. Thank you for your help!

This bag is authentic. It has all the correct indications of an authentic Selma, plus the seller you purchased from is a Top Rated seller for selling authentic bags only, for a very long time. I checked her other listings as well as past items sold and all of them are authentic bags.

There are variations in bags depending on the year it was made and the country it was manufactured in. This bag is authentic. The Selmas, Hamiltons, jet Set Totes and several other MICHAEL Michael Kors bags, are not part of Michael Kors luxury bags and they cut corners and often make them in mass production, for the outlet stores and sold for under 200.00. I am certain this bag is authentic MICHAEL Michael Kors..

The color of the tag seems off and the lining looks fake. Can you ladies please confirm if this is a counterfeit? thanks.

Good call cdtracing. This bag is definitely fake. Wrong color of care cards should always be tan not orange. Don't even meed to look any further than that first pic. FAKE! Let's report it so someone doesn't get stuck with it!

I agree with CinthiaZ. This bag is authentic. The difference in the pulls may be due to them being made in different countries. MK has changed the dust bags & the new ones have his name spelled out across the front.

The listing has already been taken down by ebay for being fake. You will have no problem getting a refund. Some of us must have reported it, even before you got it. We report listings every day and sometimes it takes awhile before they are removed. This removed so you are good to go!

Thank you both for replying. I just had a really big issue with the handles looking kind of funky and matte, instead of neat and shiny. I suppose I can make my peace with that. But despite both of you agreeing that it is authentic, I also had one more question/big issue. I was comparing the lining of the bags and my gray one had a much softer and smoother fabric, while the black one had kind of rougher material and not soft, and DEFINITELY a lot louder when I would rub the material between my fingers. Is this normal? The lining of the black selma feels fake when compared to that of my gray one. This bugs me the most. I can't imagine there can be THAT much of a difference just because the black one was made in Indonesia can it? The quality of my gray one just feels so much better than the black one, and I don't like that I can tell that it's such a big difference between the two.

Michael Kors uses various fabrics. These go from sateen which is a thinner material to a thicker cotton which is more durabe and sounds like what is on your bag.Every bag you get is not going to be EXACTLY like your other one. As we stated, there are differences in the the countries and year/ dates made. You could not have purchased your bag from a better seller, who is top rated and has on been ebay for MANY years, with over 2,300 purchases! .I even took it a step further and checked her out on toolhaus.org.....near PERFECT!! with a few nuetrals for slow shipping. Not even ONE mention of someone being sold a fake, ever!
I highly doubt she is going to risk losing her FABULOUS reputation or possibly even losing her account to sell JUST YOU, and YOU ONLY out of 2,300 buyers., and no one else EVER. a fake bag. We deem the bag to be authentic. If you don't believe our evaluation, you can go to the paid professionals at '*****************.com' for another evaluation.
