Fabulous deal on an authentic MK Hamilton!

Thank you Cinthia!! I was so excited about it😊 only thing is I need a shoulder strap for it, that's why it was so cheap because the strap was missing..now I'm on a mission to find one in silver. They have them in gold but finding it in silver hardware is a challenge😳😁

Is there anywhere to connect one to?? Why on earth would they remove the strap?? It's not even detachable! They would have had to cut it off! Unreal. Please tell tell me where you would attach a shoulder strap?

Yes the loops are still attached so they must have cut it or something. I've seen a gold strap one on eBay that attaches like the picture below I just need a silver or otherwise I'll just use the bag without the strapImageUploadedByPurseForum1444426552.384116.jpg I wondered about that I wasn't sure if they made a Hamilton without the shoulder strap attached or not. I ended up getting it for the good deal and maybe I shouldn't have now...oh well.

Actually, if you do a search on ebay for "replacement straps" you should be able to find something. As long as they left something to attach it to, you are OK. The only bad part is that the bag has lost it's value not having all of it's original parts. However, the lock and key alone sell on ebay for 70.00 so you did OK, no worries. You can actually find another strap for a reasonable price. I buy them all the time for around 20.00..

Thank you! I have been looking for one. I contacted Rago brothers to see if I could get one through them. I'm waiting to hear back..in the meantime I'll keep looking. That's true about the lock and key they make a killing out of those..lol.

I normally require a member to have at least 25 post and be a participating member of this forum. Since you have 24 and almost there and have been particpating here besides for just free authentications, I will assist you but need the link to the listing before I can assist. Thank you.

The markings on the bag look valid and the bag in question appears to be authentic. I checked all of the sellers other listings past and present and she appears to be selling authentic bags ( except for one is suspicious) . However, her very last feedback comment , the buyer said she received a fake !!, although I looked at the listing she purchased and the bag looks fine to me. Often buyers have no clue and claim perfectly authentic bags are fakes, but then again, we don't know if the seller sent her the same bag in the photos??


If it was me, I'd find another seller to buy from. She had a Hamilton in one of her sold listings that didn't look quite right to me. The shape of the bag was wrong.Also she is calling it Sapphire pink when Michael calls that color raspberry. If her bag is new with tags as listed, the correct color name on the tag would be 'raspberry', not sapphire pink, This is a red flag for me! Super fakes??? She may very well be selling these super fakes being made now that are almost identical to the real thing. What really bothers me is that she just opened up her account this year in 2015! She started out selling Kate Spade and has only recently started selling Michael Kors in the past few months. While most of her feedback is positive, that last feedback has me concerned, but there again, it is from a new ebay member who only has 23 feedbacks. She could very well be mistaken.

The bag in question has all the right specs on it. I am just suspicious of this seller and I personally would find another one that's been on eBay for several years with more experience with designer bags, but that's me. Up to you! Perhaps the pros at this website could be more help with this one, as I am just not real certain. This seller is very suspcious to me, but I am pretty particular who I buy from when it comes to designer bags. I prefer sellers who have been around for awhile. Also, wait for one of our other authenticators here, 'cdtracing' or ' jojon21', to chime in and see what they think. Here s a link to a professional website that does Michael Kors evaluations.I use them when in doubt. I have used others but find this one to be more prompt with their replies. They are super knowledgeable as well.

ah wow,..you are amazing.....to be honest, i didn't even go and look at their feedbacks. I just thought yes! WHITE MK selma messenger!! Finally!

I never thought of people sending out the wrong bags than the pictured ones. I probably should be more careful online...I think Australia has a lot more fakes than I thought. If only there wasn't any taxes in the American ones, especially since its approximately $1AUS = $0.70US... and when I add the tax...its pretty much the same cost of buying at the stores. The only difference is I can't get the colour I want =/


I might leave this one as it is....=/ Appreciate it heaps. =)


Just a quick question if you have time~
Are there actually such things as the super fake ones? =/ Who makes them? asia?

Oh YES!! Super duper fakes that look so real it's scary! Yes, most likely out of Asia, but I am sure they're made all over. If they knew exactly where, they'd all be in prison as counterfeiting is illegal and done in sweat shops with kidnapped children they use for child slave labor.

Feedback on eBay is so important. You do have a couple of good sellers i noticed that are selling authentic bags in Australia. I will PM you cuz not sure if I can post them here???
 
Item name: Bronze Metallic Michael Kors Purse
Link: Poshmark http://******/1LPEEA5
Seller: jadesumrall
Who Took Pics: Seller
History of Bag: Carries for one year so used
Comments: I already bought this but I'm questioning the authenticity. I think I got ahead of myself because of the price. I didn't ask for a date code. The lining and lack of a leather trim bothers me.
