While this bag has a lot of things correct, there are some things I don't like. There should be a style tag behind the made in country tag but it's missing. I do not like how some of the hardware is stamped...sloppy, not crisp & precise, even wearing off in some places. This is a confusing style...the large Bedford Top Zip Tote but it's sometimes called the Ciara Top Zip tote. I have found most Ciara are outlet bags & also come in the Saffiano leather. Did you also get the original retail tag along with the care card? From what I can tell, I cannot say this is authentic 100%. Some things don't look quite right. I would rather err on the side of caution.

Thanks so much for your help

Hi, Just purchased this baby online (I can still return) and it does not have the same transparent label inside as my other Selma'a has ans the inside fabric is also different as my two other bags. Can you take a look? For the rest it feels the same, but I rather be sure.

I would advise you going to a paid authentication service since I can't really say 100% either way. For a very small fee, they can give you an evaluation which can be used in a dispute if the bag is returned.
I will not be on the site for the rest of the day as I have had a death in the family & my attention is needed there. Good Luck.

I require that a member have a minimum of 25 posts before I evaluate their bags. I require this so new members can familiarize themselves with the site & it's format. Please read post #1 of this thread for the necessary format & pictures to request an evaluation. Pictures need to be clear & readable, especially the tags, heat stamp, & stamped hardware. Thank you for your understanding.

Oh, I guess the rules changed since I authenticated my precious bags here as well. I have 25 posts now. Which picture isn't clear enough? The black label has a QR code on it.

I need to see clear readable pictures of the black interior tag (both sides). I will also need to see a clear picture of the heat stamp. There is a list of required pictures needed to make a determination in the first post of this thread, along with the format to be used in requesting an authentication. Yes, new rules were implemented almost a year ago.

I sent this one back so you can ignore that request. I think I'm going for a medium instead of a mini. I'm thinking about this one from eBay. I'M afraid I do not have better pictures. https://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/152382691034

Michael Kors hamilton north south tote black with silver hardware!

HI :smile: I just joined this Forum today. I bought my first "Name Brand" Purse Yesterday, and have been super excited ever since. But now that I'm getting into this, I'm reading a lot of things about counterfeit bags. The Bag I bought was the black Michael Kors Hamilton NS Tote with silver hardware (the soft leather one, pre-owned). I'm thinking about getting it authenticated just to be safe and thought i'd ask you guys & girls and maybe get an opinion if i should go ahead and do that. Which authentication service do you recommend? I'm super confused and really hope it's the real deal.Thanks so much in advance, and I hope you have a lovely day/night! :heart:

So here's the info:

Serial number: 30F91HMT3L (Made in China AP-1402)
Link to Photos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o97sz71qaj3do8v/AAA1U4VR-q0oDgKrJaa2ZURza?dl=0
Photos were taken by Seller.
She said she bought this Purse a couple of years ago at a MK Store.
