Authentic
I've seen Saks bags with sms embossed and I own a few clutches that do not have MIC tag. In my experience, the samples have a sample tag sewn into the lining, larger than a MIC tag.
My Rocco has the sms stamp on the leather tag and a spot where the MIC tag was clearly cut out. My Eugene also has the sms stamp and a MIC tag that says "sample' on the back, slightly larger than the usual MIC tag. Boxermom, do you have any idea what else the sms might mean? So nice to have you authenticating for AW !![]()
I have no idea why your MIC tag is missing, but the only time I've seen them cut out is when a seller is trying to hide one of AW's signature details.
I can't discuss anymore details on this forum because it helps the counterfeiters.
Can someone please authenticate this bag please:-
Thanks so much

Thank you so much. I have just asked for the interior pictures and China tag. I have spent 3 hours on this!! Very good price for a little damage to the bag.No red flags, ask for a photo of interior lining, badge, and made in China tag/or interior piping.
wow, this is really awesome that you could find your mic tag in your Marion. I couldn't find mine because the bag is so narrow to even turn out the lining. I thought I was going to break mine by doing so.Could someone help me authenticate this Marion bag? I noticed that the AW is embossed into the top section instead of a sewn-on label.
This is a new zipper that I've never seen before. I purchased two rocco bags this year and they do not have this zipper. The bag itself looks authentic. All the details I look for to authenticate - all check out.
It is not unusual for AW to change one small detail each season, and it's not always every bag produced in that year. The year AW first produced leopard diego, the MIC font was different from all the other bags in that year, and they never used that font again.
Something else that occurred to me...the bag's zipper may have been replaced due to repair. If you purchased it second hand, it's very possible someone bought the bag damaged and repaired it for resale.
Hi boxermom, is this the font on the mic tag for the leopard Diego you were referring to?
Yes, it was also in my pvc baby rocco from same season.
Would you be able to authenticate these as well please? Sorry to be such a bother, even with all the research I've done I still don't trust myself to make a judgement!
