Thank you, cdtracing! Is it really called a grab bag?
Yes. I did some checking & that was the name I found for that style.
Ok I finally found the right thread! I just purchased this Michael kors collection snakeskin skorpios ring tote on eBay! But one problem it has a sewn in label that reads "sample" so does this mean it is not authentic or it is one-of-a-kind I'm just confused everything else screams authentic but it has two brown sewn in labels one reads handcrafted in China the other reads handcrafted in Korea no numbers on the back of the brown labels any help would be greatly appreciated! 
It's authentic. The "sample tag" is usually for samples made for trunk & designer shows where store buyers can place orders for bags to carry in their stores. Sometimes it's used for specialty bags that will strictly be sold in certain stores or boutiques. This is a very unique & beautiful bag. Congratulations.
So is the quality of the bag any less? It just seems like a Softer snakeskin than what I am used to seeing in the MK collection bags?
No. Sample bags are generally of high quality & have to meet a certain standard. I would imagine the snakeskin may be softer due to the fact that this is not a structured bag but a ringed Hobo style.
So, I ALWAYS buy my Mk's either at the michaelkors website or at a department store. BUT, My co-worker who is always commenting on my purses just sent me a text where her husband bought her a MK purse cheap & is concerned. I looked at the site and seems "too good to be true" but would LOVE your input. The grammatical errors on the site itself, made me see red flags & its so sweet of her husband who truly doesn't know ANYTHING about buying purses to do that for her.
The site is MKhandbags2016.com
Thank you in advance!

I'm afraid her husband got hoodwinked. While it was sweet of him to want to buy her a designer purse she wanted, this site sells counterfeits. Not only are there a myriad of grammatical errors on the site, the prices are too good to be true. I could list all the things I found wrong but since counterfeiters read this site, I don't want to give them anything that can help them to make better fakes. I'm going to report this site to MK & I would advise you to do the same. You can report this link to MK on his official website through the Contact Us email. There is a Counterfeit reason listed in the reason for contact drop box. MK will then turn it over to their attorneys.
It's sites like this that proliferate the internet, robbing people of their money with counterfeit bags & these sites need to be shut down. Selling counterfeits is a violation of trademark laws.
Item Name: Michael Kors Selma Stud Satchel (Ballet)
Serial Number: 30T3GSM2L
Notes: I purchased this bag and just wanted to make sure it's authentic. The E is extremely crooked. Also, I'm aware this is the new lining but I'm curious if it was used in last year's bags? The date code is E-1510 so I believe this one was manufactured last year. Thanks in advance. Sorry about the low quality photos- my camera sucks.

It's good. Everything is correct. Occasionally, a letter will be a little crooked. I consider this a quality control issue that happens from time to time. I don't think it's very noticeable on this bag, though. The rose gold hardware is stunning on the Ballet shade of pink. Beautiful bag.
