Hi all! I'm new to handbags and picked this Michael Kors bag up at a second hand store yesterday. I have been searching for at least 2 hours trying to find a match.. But, the only thing I've turned up is a completed ebay auction and the handbag sold super cheap at less than $55. Here's the url.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Michael-Kors-Hobo-Soft-Leather-A-0905-/140896938824

Mine is black with silver hardware and in awesome condition. Smells yummy and no damage whatsoever. The only marking that I might be able to use to identify it is A-0905 on an inside that that also says "Made in China".

I can't figure out how I am not able to turn up a single picture on the Internet (aside from ebay) of this thing. Is it worthless??

I can post pictgures of my bag if that will help. But, I figured those of the bag on ebay would work.

Thanks very much i advance!!

Hi Everyone, I didn't get a reply to my original post and I'll admit I was a bit lazy for not posting my own photos. So here are 9 photos of the bag I am trying to authenticate. What do the experts on this blog think? Have you seen this bag before? Authenticate or fake? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

No doubt in my mind this is authentic.. the lining, key clip, subtle soft leather, everything is right on. Just my opinion... :D I def would...Also, the lining is the "fabric" linen lining it looks like and the leather is noticably not a knock off leather but resembles my MK Large Astor that is the 448.00 style Astor. I've seen this bag and just can't recall the name. Couldn't see the listing on Ebay that you were comparing it to.

Thank you for the reply. Very much appreciated. Yes, the leather is very soft and smells awesome.

Re the ebay listing.. Damnit! The listing of the same purse that sold on ebay is no longer available for viewing.

What do you say about the round silver MK "lock" embellishment on the front? In my research I didn't run across this style on any bags.

Ok, now you're going to make me dig because I never questioned that at first.. I'm sure I'll find the same purse style with the same lock. This is what always kills me.. I have to know. Just like my purse I posted.. I didn't send it back to the seller because I believe it's an authentic MK purse.. but I can NOT find the name/style for the life of me and I've looked through over 15k listings on ebay, completed AND sold listings. Anywho, off to look for your name and gathering lock type.. :p

Ohhhhh no need for you to go to that trouble.. I'm of the exact same mindset as you though.. It's hard to give up until I figure out the answer. I searched for hours to find a match on this bag and all I found was the ebay listing which was very generic with only a couple pictures.

Oh but I insist... I know I saw this style and I'm still looking for the actual style of my bag also...lol ;) I HAVE to find both.... and won't stop till I do. MK needs a "vault" of all their original styles and names of their bags.... truly they do!!

Ok Deanna, I found this one on Ebay... I don't think this is the same listing as what you saw... Gives you more to look at picture wise and close ups. I truly believe yours is totally authentic but it's bugging me I can't find the name of it.

That's IT! Totally IT! You are too good! No, not the same I listing I found a couple months back at all. That listing was of a red version and not nearly as many pics or pics of that quality. The listing says rare, but no mention of the purse's name.

Now I need to return the favor and hunt for yours!!

Oh I've been looking for 2 weeks... still looking right now actually just to even FIND it somewhere that it actually exists! lol What site do you use to attach/host your image. I was going to attach the pics but wanted a link... I want to put the pics into the message so you don't have to click on a ebay link for mine because they tend to expire quickly. Still looking for the name of yours actually... I want to know! lol

*Bump*FOR 5th time - Going to keep bumping every time we get to a new page. =)

Desperately need help! This style of Michael Kors is not to be found anywhere. I've searched for over 7 hours on the internet, in images, completed and sold ebay listings and current listings. This lady swears it's not a fake. I messaged her, and told her I was an honest person and truly do not believe this is authentic. i have several Michael Kors Bags that I have bought from the actual boutique and not outlet. Does anyone recognize the name/style of this bag or year? She said I can send it back to her which I will if I have to, but i can't even find a "fake" version or close to style of this bag. Truly stumped. There are a TON of fakes and why I will not try to purchase off of Ebay anymore. Never again. Heres the link to her pictures below and what is currently in my possession. Thank you ladies in advance!!

I don't host pictures on a site. You can email me though at my "junk mail" email address -- [email protected] host to a different site and send me the link.

I'll look some tonight.
