I'll be doing some research on this. I can read the pictures better on the listing. The only thing that really bothers me is the gold cap on the key fob. The Casey's I've seen don't have the 2 holes. Is the pictures posted of the key fob pictures of both sides or just one?

Ok, I have done some research on this bag & I believe it's an authentic Large Casey. I have found the gold cap on the key fob to have the holes in it on some of the medium & small Casey's. I can only conclude that there has been a hardware change from when the style first debuted. This is not an uncommon occurrence & I think is due to where the bag was made. Everything looks correct on the bag.

Wahoo! Thank you cdtracing for all your work with authenticating the bag AND for the great news! That really is a relief. Being new to Michael Kors, is it the same bag as the one here: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=252265493037 The Elephant color or it has a different name?

It does appear to be the same style & color bag. I do know the Casey was made in the Elephant color. With this bag, I would also like to see clear pics of the interior leather tag, stitching, & metal name plate. Picture of the tag would be helpful as well since it's listed New with Tags. This seller has a high feedback count & has experience in selling designer bags, MK included. This seller also offers a 14 day return policy where the other seller does not.

Hello, could you please authenticate this purse, thank you.

Name: Michael Kors Jamesport?
Serial: A-0902? I did a search here but found no results.
History: Given to me by friend and I took the pictures.

Comments: I am a frequent visitor of the Coach section, where I am learning the history of the brand and how to restore old pieces. This doesn't mean I do not like or admire other designer bags. I just helped a friend move out of the State and she parted with many items, she was going to throw away this bag (because it had better days). I got it instead to try to restore it, but I have no clue if it's real (she got it as a gift), I do not even know how you are suppose to wear those straps. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi Ladies! I've bought Selma Medium in Black and I'm in 2 minds now: authentic or not? The interior lining isn't classic, but on ebay I've read that it could be authentic. But the most awkward thing is that the strap is 5 inches shorter that in my Pearl Grey Selma or Jet Set Large. The pictures below. Please help!

I know that I should be ashamed to ask You for help since it's my first post. Till now I've been only admiring Your purses, but maybe someone will by greathearted and help me despite my lack of activity.

It's authentic. It's an older MK Jamesport from 2009.

Welcome to the TPF. I know this is your first post but I evaluate bags for participating members who have a post count of at least 25. I require this so that those who join will familiarize themselves with the site & with the necessary format to get an authentication. It won't take much for you to get your post count up. Look over the forum & find threads that interest you & post/comment on them. There are plenty of threads on all kinds of subjects here from purses by all designers to jewelry to Ebay to shoes & so on. Once you have your post count up, just quote your original request & ask for your evaluation. I will be happy to help you. :smile1:
