The pictures look good so far. The listing says it's navy but it looks black to me. I would ask for the made in country & date tag that is inside the bag along the seam to be sure.

I am going to go ahead and say it is authentic. Everything aligns perfectly from the pics that are posted and the receipts and care cards are all legit too. I would feel comfortable purchasing it myself.

Thanks much cdtracing & CinthiaZ!

Hi all, I am brand new here and unsure of exactly where to post as I am not allowed to start a thread. I would like information about a purse I listed on Ebay today. I found it at an estate sale. I am not familiar with Michael Kors, I have in the past sold a lot of Coach and Dooney & Bourke and studied them well. This bag seems to have authentic signs, however I cannot find one exactly like it anywhere. I am interested to know when it might have been made and what the new price might have been. Thank you for any help,

I have never seen one like this. Can you post more pictures of the interior lining? Is there any tags inside along the lining seam that states what country it was made in or has numbers on it. This is one for CinthiaZ to look at. She's the authority on vintage bags & knows more about them than I. I would like to about this one my self so I'm off to do some research.
After doing some research, I still have not found this particular bag. I have found bags from the MK Santorini Collection that have this same locking mechanism. I don't know if this is from this collection or not...this collection does have raffia straw & wicker rattan bags. I know MK was making summer straw & wicker purses in 2007. I'll do more research.

Hi, This bag is very rare and unique. It is from the MK SANTORINI collection and it is authentic. I would put the style name Santorini in the title bacause there are many that collect these Santorini bags and yours appears to be in a rare style of the Santorini.

Here is an ebay listing for another Santorini that you can compare it to, that has the same materials, and hardware except for this has a different shape to it.

Also, I can tell be the impeccable CONTRAST stitching around the zipper compartment and by the zipper pull, besides the label and the weave in the thick cloth lining, that this bag is authentic. However, buyers that don't know these things are always looking for the 'made in country' tag, that you will find on the left seam of the lining. You would do better, to add a photo of this to help insure your buyers it is authentic. They can't recognize things like stitching and zipper pulls. If you post a pic of it here we might be able to tell you when it was made, although many of the vintage bags didn't have a date code under the country made in. Please let me know if this one does, I am curious. Thank you.

If I might make a suggestion, here is what would be good for your title since there IS leather on the bag.
'Michael Kors Rare SANTORINI Straw and Leather Vintage Tote / Basket bag'

Your keywords in your title are very important for those doing a search that will type these words into their search bar.

There are no tags inside, I looked before I listed. There is very little room inside, so I'm sure it wouldn't be for everyday use. It is very well made, heavy hardware, even stitches and good leather. That is all I know about it.

Thank you for your help. I did see that one that you referenced and saw that it had the same type of hardware. I will add to my title, but I'm afraid there is no tag inside
