I'm not familiar with this style either. I have heard great reviews about the authentication website that cdtracing has recommended for you.
I have used them before. They helped me prove a bag i sold was authentic. The buyer was trying to get it for free, thinking if she claimed it was fake, she would not have to return it and I would have to issue a refund! . That website faxed a certificate of authenticity to ebay for me and proved the bag was authentic and I won the claim! Was great! I couldn't have done it without them as ebay and paypal only accept paid authentications from professional such as *******************. com and others. There are only two that evaluate Michael Kors and I couldn't get the other one to respond. Had I not gone to them I would have lost not only the bag, but would have had to refund 500.00!! Thank God there are websites like them that we can go to! Ebay has created a great market place for thieves! I run into these scammers way too often! Makes selling on ebay very difficult!
Thank you so much for your feedback but I'm still concerned because my bag doesn't have the handles like the mini saffiamo messenger bag 
Still think it's authentic??

Comments- I really want this bag but it seems that every time this seller sells one she posts another in its place. I don't know if she has a ton of fakes she is selling or what is going on. A little insight would be appreciated. thanks-

It looks like a crossbody bag. There is a website that I have seen this style for sale on but I'm not sure if it's a legit website. You may want to go to http://*****************.com/ & have them evaluate your bag. They specialize in Michael Kors, Coach, & Rebecca Minkoff. For a small fee, they will evaluate your bag & determine it's authenticity. If it's authentic, they will send you a certificate stating so. If it is not, their evaluation will help you if you choose to return the bag. It's possible that this bag is a counterfeit.

I have not bought from this seller but they have a large feedback count with 100% feedback with only 3 neutrals & those were about condition of purse not authenticity. The first 4 pictures posted are stock pictures but they do post pictures of an actual bag. You might want to request clear pictures of the interior heat stamp, made in country/date tag, & close up pics of interior stitching & pockets.
+! I agree with cdtracing, while there are not all the pics we need to evaluate, I would feel comfortable purchasing from this seller. She has thousands of feedbacks for selling authentic bags. I checked out all her other present and past listings, and the bags are all authentic,. From the pics provided, it looks good. I hate how some sellers use stock internet photos. They really should use their own, but I guess with the huge volume of bags she is selling, it saves her quite a bit of time. If you get it, you can post your own photos here.
In the future , please reply to your original request so we don't have to go looking through all of your past posts to find out what bag you are referring to.. MK styles come in many variations of the same style. There is can be a cross body version that doesn't have the handles. The larger version has the handles on it. They also can come as satchels or totes, with the satchel having a zipper top closure and the totes having a magnetic snap. Rest assured, if we already evaluated the bag to be authentic, then it is ! If you need more proof,or doubt our evaluation, you can go to a paid professional. This website will charge you 15.00. http://*****************.com/ Might be worth it to ease your mind.Thank you so much for your feedback but I'm still concerned because my bag doesn't have the handles like the mini saffiamo messenger bag

It also helps to know what online site you bought the bag from.
Hello, I just got this Medium Quilted Selma. It looks like real, but:
1) I doesn't feel like leather but PU
2) shoulder strap is packed in some weird plastic
3) it has SIX stitches under handles
4) looks like GHW is some cheap plastic
Is it possible that is real?

I just saw your posting in the Selma thread. My Selmas have only 4 stiches under the handles, as well, and this bag looks like a fake to me.
It can often depend what country your bag was made in. Actually , I have seen many genuine quilted Selmas with six stitches under the handles. Your bag actually appears to be authentic to me and has all the correct markings. Here is a quilted Selma you can compare yours to that is listed on ebay by a Top Rated seller that has thousands of positive feedbacks for selling authentic bags for many years. Notice that this Quilted Selma, also has six stitches under the handles. Not every bag is identical. There are variations from year to year and different countries manufactured in.
The quilted leather feels thinner than regular leather. It needs to be thinner so they can quilt it. So it is going to feel different than what you are used to. Also, Michael Kors has been packaging their bags in plastic for some time now. Not unusual at all. At one time they all came wrapped in tissue but this has changed the last couple of years. Their gold hardware is a coated / gold plated metal. It should not feel plastic. That raises a question. Are you sure it is plastic? because it should definitely be metal.
Here is a link (below) from a reputable seller that you can compare your bag to. While I believe your bag is authentic, it would help if you could tell us where you bought it and provide a link to the listing, because there are super fakes out there. Your bag looks authentic to me. The only thing I question is what you are stating about the hardware being plastic? I suggest taking it to a shoe maker and ask them what material is the hardware to verify what it is, exactly. if he determines it is indeed plastic, then it can not be real. Just make sure you are correct about that, because everything else looks correct on this bag. IMO.

Here is a quilted Selma from NORDSTROMS that absolutely does not sell fakes. It too has more than four stitches under the handles. Here it looks to have five. Like I said, much depends on the year and country manufactured in.

Based on your photos, your Quilted Selma is authentic. I agree with CinthiaZ, everything about this bag looks correct.
I am sure this a stupid question and I'm not sure where to ask as it's not about a bag. I bought apple brand leather conditioner for my new Riley from ebay last night and my husband has now planted a seed of fear in my mind. He asked if you can get fake products that could damage your bag (he is very sceptical of ebay!). I am convinced I bought from a legit seller who has thousands of positive reviews and seems to be a genuine company in the US. Can you get fake apple leather conditioner? This is the link to the store but I'm sure it's fine

He hates me looking at ebay as every time I buy something (which isn't that often) it goes wrong!!
