Michael Kors **CLOSED** Authenticate This MICHAEL KORS

[CinthiaZ]

Hello ladies, thanks for your replies. I bought that bag based on your evaluation on page 113.

I agree, according to photos everythings is OK. The bag has every sign of autheticity. Also I would like to thank you for explaing stitches, plastic bags, etc... very helpful.
I walked to the shop and they told me, that GHW is really metal, but the gold is "scratched", simply going away (I don't know the word so hope you understand) and the bag is supposed to be new.

About leather - I expected soft leather like Hamilton traveller. I checked this bag today and the leather was soft and smells so good. This Selma smells synthetic, it's disgusting. I kept it in box for two days and today when I unpack it the smell was really horrible. And they told me in shop it's really not leather.

You can buy super fake here - http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-F...024090276.html and I think this is exactly this bag. Maybe the seller from AUKRO bought it here and then resell... it's possible.
I saw in person some super fakes from this site and they has really almost everything like real one....

I contacted seller and she agreed with full refund including shipping ... Interesting right? Would you offer this with knowing your bag is real?

As we stated repeatedly, we are just giving our opinions here. We also directed you to a professional authenticator and gave you the link to their website several times. . The sales clerks in the stores are NOT professional authenticators, and neither are we, although we have been honored by this forum and put on their list of their main authenticators of this brand., which you can view here, http://forum.purseblog.com/authenticator-lounge/list-of-authenticators-in-the-lounge-911948.html
The sales clerks are even told by their companies, to tell people if they didn't purchase the bag from them, it is probably a fake. After you finding out the hardware is metal, and not plastic, like you originally THOUGHT, I am now convinced the bag is authentic.. This proves that one of your theories is incorrect, again, and I feel very sorry for your seller. I hope they resell the bag to someone who knows what they are getting, which is a beautiful, authentic MK Quilted Selma. Often times MK uses LAMB leather on their quilted bags, which many are not familiar with. The smell has nothing to do with authenticity. That could just be a leather conditioner the seller put on the bag The bag has been discontinued and is not in many of the stores so the SALES CLERKS have nothing to compare it to and they are WRONG.

The link to the fakes website you provided, does not show photos of the interior date code tag that you provided nor the interior lining and heat stamp that you also showed with photos, that indicates the bag is authentic. It would be interesting to see the interiors of those fakes. I doubt they are anything like yours, and yes, people do buy fakes all the time and sell them online, but there is usually at least ONE indication the bag is fake. On your bag, there is NONE. MK bags are made in Indonesia and the date code is correct on your bag. I am certain even the pros, will find your bag to be authentic.

Many sellers do returns for any reason, so it is not unusual at all. I still think the bag is authentic and I don't care what some sales clerk told you. It is apparent you do not accept the evaluations of THREE of our best authenticators here. We told you to please quit debating with us and go to a professional authenticating service, Here is the link AGAIN, http://*****************.com/
If you really want the FACTS, go there, not to some sales clerk. Regardless, if you don't like the bag because of smell or whatever, by all means, send it back, but please don't accuse the seller of sending you a fake. That is serious accusation and you need to PROVE it. Even eBay and PayPal would make you go to a paid for authentication service. They do NOT accept evaluations from store clerks.

Thank you.

OK. I'm going to do what you told me.
A month ago I saw fake Selma from Aliexpress which has proper heat stamp, proper inside and datacode. Maybe after that I'm a little bit paranoid
I'm sorry for taking your time. And again, thank you for all your advices.

Glad to hear the seller has agreed to take the bag back. There are Super Fakes out there especially in Asia & Indonesia and they're really hard to detect from just pictures. The quilted Selma is made of leather. I don't know if the seller is aware that the bag is a possible fake. She may just want to take it back to protect her reputation. If a seller gets a reputation of selling fakes, people won't buy their items. Anyway, I'm glad it all worked out for you.

 

[CinthiaZ]

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?

One more question I want to ask you, please provide a photo of the bottom metal ( not plastic) FEET on the bottom of your bag. . This is the only pic you have not provided yet. Please provide. Thank you

Yes, I question that as well, after going back and seeing the site is an Asian or foreign site. I am still convinced the bag is authentic. Especially after our best, Jojon21 agreed that it is. Jojo is the BEST, although we are not too shabby ourselves! lol!
However, I would like to see one more pic of the feet on the bottom of the bag. THat is the one pic that will help determine for sure, since we have not seen that yet. Everything else looks perfect! I keep sending her to the pros at *******************. But if the bag smells that bad, that would be a good reason to send it back, alone! lol! Smell does not indicate authenticity , however. lol! .

Checking to make sure this is real. Noticed the straight corners on the gold label as opposed to rounded edges on other Millbrook bags and wanted to make sure.

Hello CinthiaZ, I provide you photos ... Of course the bottom is OK ... But I did some photo from the side and you can see it's badly stitched.
I'm returning this bag today ...

 

[lluuccka]

I did some homework and found photos of fake Selma from Aliexpress ... This is black selma + I added some in luggage to see better the inside + heat stamp. It's good right?
So I'm sorry to being a little bit paranoid with my quilted Selma....

Hun, you can not compare bags like this and expect them to be the same, especially not a saffiano Selma, to a quilted Selma. As I have stated repeatedly, there are variations in these bags from to year to year and depending what country they are made in! You can NOT compare this to a Saffiano selma! They are made completely different. . After seeing the metal feet on the bottom, I convinced the quilted bag is authentic.By all means, send it back if you don't like the bag. THREE authenticators here believe the bag to be authentic. I stand by my evaluation. AGAIN, if you don't accept our evaluation, than please go pay a PROFESSIONAL!! We recommend this site. http://*****************.com/ I am not evaluating any more bags for you because you do not accept our evaluations as valid, anyhow. Please quit debating here and go to that link. They can help you there. I suggest in the future, you go directly to Michael Kors for your purchases. They do have some great sales from time to time, and you would save yourself from going through this again. They also sell genuine MK at Nordtroms, Macy's and Neiman Marcus.

This will be last comment on this subject. Thank you.

I agree with CinthiaZ, this is an authentic Millbrook bag!

Click on the listing and scroll down about 1/3 way down the page. On the right hand side you will see in blue "Report Item". Click on that link and it will ask for the reason. Select the Copyright or Trademark Infringement reason and proceed from there. This is totally anonymous and the seller will not know that you have done this. Thank you for keeping an eye out for fakes and helping to keep buyers from getting ripped off! There are way too many fakes on ebay and other sites which is why we always recommend coming here or getting an evaluation from the professionals at sites like www.*****************.com before any purchase!

+1 Report the listings. I'm always reporting fakes I come across to Ebay when I on their site.

I concur. From the pictures, this appears to be an authentic Millbrook. I believe this is the Outlet version of the Millbrook.

Oh since u good ladies advised me how to report i've been on a roll and annoyed thatnI can't do it from an ipad or iphone so am watching some more I need to go onto my
Macbook and report. Some of them are terrible with negative feedbacks for fakes. Ebay should police themselves not rely on our good nature to do it for them. I just don't want people getting burned by these counterfeit sellers.

Please be CERTAIN the bags you are reporting are indeed fake. I have been reported for perfectly good bags that others had no clue. While some are very obvious, , others are not. If you are in doubt, ask here first, so we can help!
