Thank you.

I still need to see the heat stamp & would like the link to where you bought this bag from.
Hi, would someone pleasee help me authenticate this bag?
SERIAL NUMBER: n/a
Link (if available): http://www.ebay.com/itm/131635382390
Seller: aukomoto
Who took the pictures: I took them
History of the bag: New without tag, shipped from Singapore. FYI, seller had multiple pieces. Seller offered second chance to me and also relisted.
Comments: Seller said 'it's dead stock from Indonesia but authentic'. Seller is fine with return, but to a Germany address where he/she is spending holiday at.
Photos attached.
Here is the link to the 4shared folder if it's more convenient: http://www.4shared.com/folder/t1tGhR7P/_online.html
The long strap which has holes is longer than it should be.. This was the first thing that set me off.
I'd love to keep it if by any chance this is authentic, even if it's a reject/defective item. Spent over $20 for shipping from Singapore and not sure how much return shipping will cost.
Let me know if you need additional pictures.
Thanks in advance!

The seller has low feedback & that's always a concern for me. Plus, there should be a white tag with letter & numbers behind the translucent made in country tag. That's a concern for me as well. Not sure what to make about the shoulder strap being longer; could be a mistake made in the factory. While the pictures look good & things look correct, I'm concerned about the missing interior white tag. Did you get the same paperwork that was shown in the listing? Are there any misspellings on the care card? Indonesia is know for having a lot of Super Fakes. I can't say for sure about this one. Maybe Jojon21 can give us her opinion.
I would be really wary of this and here is why, have a look at these listings from ebay uk:-
321950449007
131675560340
301825929079
Note that the photos in each listing are exactly the same as a sutton that seller has for sale and all of the sellers have low feedback and are from Singapore.
I regularly trawl ebay uk looking at Kors handbags (yes I know I am sad lol,) and knew i'd seen the photos before, which is why I went back looking on our ebay, it was as the mesh behind is very distinctive and I recognised it. I've looked at them before and have always had my concerns.
Personally I would not buy from these sellers as I am convinced they are all one and the same individual and as cdtracing said the fact that the white tag is not on the bag would also be a concern.
I also find the fact they would want you to return it to an address in Germany, rather than back to Singapore really bizarre and I have a feeling you are going to have issues trying to return.
Sorry to be the voice of doom, but it is always worth asking us for an authentication prior to purchase. Then it may save a lot of hassle.
I agree with cdtracing & trefusisgirl, all indications are that this bag is fake. There are certain indicators which I do not want to mention here as this may tip off any counterfeiters that lurk here. Avoid this bag and seller!

Thank you so much for checking the photos and sharing your knowledge!!
Oh my, I really have to return it. Seller said she will refund my money as soon as I have the tracking number. I hope that is true.
Now I am in between returning and opening dispute on Paypal. I know I will need 3rd party authentication letter if I opt for the latter, but I can get my initial shipping cost back & save on return shipping. I probably run out of time to leave feedback on eBay. Do you think it is worth it to open dispute on Paypal? I have checked out the fees on *****************.com.
To answer cdtracing questions, yes it came with the paperbag. The care card doesn't have mispelling. Only thing different from the listing was the dustbag. The bag came with what I know as the newer version of dustbag (white with silver MIchael Kors).
Btw, I actually have a Large Selma purchased from eBags. It is also made in Indonesia. This suspected fake is almost identical except for the hardware (shape & feel) and the distance between the zip pocket inside to the pockets below the zip (which is closer than in my Selma purchased from eBags). But then again, I assumed those might be factory defect/store reject..

You can't really compare one bag to another because no 2 are exactly the same. If you really like the bag, you can pay for an outside authentication & if it turns out to be authentic, you can keep the bag. If it is not, you should be able to get a full refund including shipping. While a lot of this bag looks correct, there are a few things that make me hesitant, especially with the return of the bag to a German address instead of where it was originally sent to you from. To me, that's a red flag. With so many Super Fakes coming out of Indonesia & this seller being new with quite a few of the same bags to sell, it's better to be safe than sorry. You may want to check out the Ebay forum & see what the ladies say would be your best option & just how you should go about it especially since Paypal & Ebay are now separate companies. The only way to truly put your mind at ease is to go to an outside source to cover all your bases. Good Luck & let us know how it turns out.
That's why ebay sux compared to amazon. You cannot leave feedback for items purchased more than what? 60 days ago?! When there's such a long time for them to arrive from overseas, then to return or get a replacement, etc.... I was in the hole for some small items. Luckily not too expensive but that's not why it bothers me. Not because of the money, but of the impossibility to leave adequate feedback. That, and the impossibility to find the same seller from the past with which one had a good experience or one wants to buy the same items again.
On amazon I can access my order history from the very first time I ordered there, which was.... many moons ago, I cannot even remember.
Good luck, regardless of the way you choose to get your money back. Such a shame, ebay!

Hi, every post you have made on tpf is a request for authentication and we authenticate bags for participating members of the forum, not those who use the site for the sole purpose of asking for authentications. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but we believe this is fair.
If you google Michael Kors authentication services there are sites out there who will give you an authentication for a small fee.
Item Name: Weston Medium Satchel in Burnt Orange
SERIAL NUMBER: AQ-1307
Seller: Pawn shop (sounds like it should be a dead giveaway but I do some online work for them and they sell some very high end, legitimate bags)
Who took the pictures: Myself
Comments: searching the serial #AQ-1307 came up with another bag, so this may be a giveaway?
Hey there, I know it's my first post but I'm hoping you guys can help me out a bit here before xmas. Purchased this the other day without taking a close look at it first, upon wrapping it as a gift i noticed some of the stitching was fairly off.
Returning it should not be an issue but I'd just like to get some insight before.
Any information helps, thank you!!
