Hoping that your long weekend is great, I'd need your help with an authentication:

Item: Michael KORS CREAM LEATHER HANDBAG SHOULDER BAG W/BELTED SIDES SILVER HARDWARE
Listing nr: 381520963080
Seller: 925sfairtradeinc (5,970 feedback)
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/381520963080?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I am not familiar with this type of MK bag so not sure about its authenticity. Also, how easy is to access the stuff inside the bag, having that middle compartment?

Thanks in advance for any help.

This is an older style bag and there is nothing that makes me thing it isn't authentic. The leather is really fab on these age of bag.

The seller seems to deal in vintage items and although not kors, there is feedback for other bags that they have sold, i.e fossil. They as you say have a lot of feedback and it is amazingly positive.

I have a few bags with middle compartments and it just depends what you keep in the middle as to whether it is difficult to access the stuff in the two outer compartments. I've never struggled personally.

I am sure you are aware from the photos that this bag is really grubby on the outside and it is difficult to say how easy it would be to clean. I guess that is the trouble with older paler bags, if they have been used they potentially will show signs of wear.

I concur with Trefusisgirl. This is appears to be an older MK bag. I don't know the name of the style, sometimes these bags didn't have names or belong to any particular collection. I don't see anything that would make me think it's not authentic.

The leather looks pretty dirty & since it's white/cream, I'm not sure how well it will clean. The seller has a very good track record of selling vintage items, maybe not vintage handbags or MK items, but they do appear to have considerable knowledge of vintage items.

As far as the center zip compartment, it really depends on what you carry in your bag. I have several bags with middle zip compartments & I have found them to be quite handy & useful.

Thanks a lot! Yeap, I realize that's a white, old bag. I started cleaning and conditioning my bags and they look awesome, some of them almost like new. I'd take my chances with this one too. Will still think about it though.

Thank you both for your advice! I was thinking, if cleaning doesn't go too well, I might as well dye it. But then no resale for that bag, right? Although, if I get a lovely color that I really like, I won't even think about reselling.

Browsing the web I found a few MK Austin that I liked even more than the one I asked you about. Maybe I'll search for an Austin, cream, white or darker, don't know yet.

Thank you again!

I'm sorry, me again. In search for Austins I found this listing:

Item: MICHAEL KORS AUSTIN SHOULDER BAG VANILLA - WHITE
Listing nr: 151938593844
Seller: vogueblissus (60 + feedback, I mean positive)
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MICHAEL-KOR...593844?hash=item23603ef434:g:zhcAAOSwTapV3lwq

I did a bit of research about the seller and the website they say they sell on is not available. Found them on Facebook too but no recent posts there either. About 20 positive feedback as aellers, the rest as buyers. Also, looking at the bag's measurements, I noticed they're few good inches more than most of what I found for other Austins. Is it too fishy to even try this one?

Thank you in advance.

Yes I see what you mean about the seller, all a bit odd.

The measurements really depend how they are measuring it really. Difficult to go by them.

There isn't anything that screams out at me from the photos. However I don't know if most of those photos are of the actual bag and would therefore want to see more close ups of inside pockets to see heatstamp, close ups of hardware, etc. I wouldn't say one way or another based on that picture set. You know what we like to see lol.

I do find the whole website, facebook thing oh and I found a twitter account which isn't in existence anymore, a bit weird.

They have sold one kors bag and it got positive feedback, plus they've sold Coach, with positive feedback.

Ask for some more photos of actual bag, see what you get and post here if successful. If seller won't provide photos, move on.

Yes dying may mean no resale but as you say if you love the colour it wouldn't be an issue and it makes it a uniwue to you bag. Love to see photos of before and after if you clean it up.

I got a cream preloved Hamilton a couple of months ago and I washed it as Cinthia wrote here somewhere. It looks so much better! Now I'm contemplating whether I should dye it burgundy because I love that shade so much and there are no Hamiltons in soft leather and that color. I'm waiting for the dye and the other necessary items to arrive soon and I'll try first on a Rebecca Minkoff that's also a very light color, but a light grey. Will see how it works out.

Trefusisgirl is right. Seller's info is odd & the website can't be found. Strange. Their history is short & looks like they've only been a member of Ebay since 2014. Like Tre, no red flags jump out at me about the bag pictured. Receipts can be faked so that's not very reliable as to authenticity & measurements can be different depending on where the bag is measured & who is doing the measuring. I would ask for specific pictures of the bag you will get....heatstamp, made in country tags, interior lining & stitching, stamped hardware, ect. Clear pictures. A reputable seller would have no problem in sending these pictures to you. If they do not, I also advise to pass on this one. You can't be too careful.

Right. Better safe than sorry. I contacted the seller and they'll send me more pics. They said they took the pics and they're not borrowed from another website. Idk yet about their website, I'm curious if they'll answer that question.

Meanwhile I found another Austin on poshmatk, a pre-loved but in very good condition, and the color is a kind of a fuchsia, so not a light color to be afraid of stainng it easily (although I sooo love those white/cream leather bags!). I could ask for more pics there too.

Thank you for all your advice and help!

 

[andral5]

Update on 'the case': the seller uploaded 2 more pics of the interior that they took themselves or so they said. They meaning she or he, I have no idea what s/he is. Anyway, my question regarding the website was answered and they said they moved all their business on ebay, so they dropped the website. Too good to be true? Might be. So I might just wait and look around some more for another Austin. I lost a pre owned white one... with shw! Now that one was looking goood!
So on the link above, there are the new photos the seller added this afternoon.

Thank you again!
