I read so many baseless rumors about facts regarding Michael Kors and how to tell if they are authentic or not. I am starting this thread to clarify and put these rumors to rest!
1. One of the biggest false rumors is that Michael Kors bags will never have the signature on both the outside and inside. FALSE! This so incorrect! They have MANY bags with signature on both sides.
2. Another false rumor is that Michael Kors never uses contrast stitching! We see contrast stitching on Several MK designs, especially on the Astor bags. While it is true you don't see it on the newer Saffiano bags, you will see it on many of their regular leather bags. Designer bags are known and loved for their detailed contrast stitching, and most designers do this,
3. Another rumor is Michael Kors is NOT MADE IN CHINA??? False! MOST of their bags are made in China!
4. Michael Kors is never faked because they are too cheap and are not considered a luxury item. FALSE!! We see more fakes than you can shake a stick at and most of them are on the cheaper bags! Counterfeitors go by what is most popular. They do not go by what costs the most. Even Levis jeans are being counterfeited!
Also, Michael Kors is a luxury designer and has MANY bags in the 3 zeros pricing, ranging from 1000 to 3000.00!! Most of them come from the MICHAEL Kors Collection. The less expensive bags are in their MICHAEL Michael Kors collection, and these bags are counterfeited the most!
5. Michael Kors will ALWAYS have a made in country tag on them separate from the heat stamp. FALSE. While MOST of them do, there are bags that are lined in leather, that do not have this tag and the country made in, will be include on the heat stamp. Or it will be a separate leather heat stamp tag, as seen on the Miranda.
