Dear Cdtracing, is this the same bag from MK Spring Collection 2007 or am I wrong?First off, let me thank you for the clear, excellent pictures. This is a beautiful, vintage, & authentic Michael Kors ID Chain Tassel Tote. It's from his high end Michael Kors Collection & is genuine python snakeskin. The bag is in excellent condition, especially since it was made in the mid 90's. While I don't have catalogs that go back as far as the mid 90's, his genuine python bags sold for $3-4,000 plus when they first retailed them. This bag is extremely rare & was a limited edition. Based on it's excellent condition & rarity, it's worth probably at least $1,000-1,500 or more. (I'm estimating it's value on the low side.) It's a very striking bag to be sure!! Congratulations on having this prize.It's not often that I get to see a bag of this age in such perfect condition. Definitely drool worthy!!
In fact, I would appreciate it very much if you would post pictures of it in our Michael Kors Library section (at the top of the page) in the Michael Kors Collection thread. There is also a MK vintage thread in the Library that it can go in as well since it is a vintage bag. Thank you so much for sharing this bag with us.

Yes, you are correct. He did do this style in Python in 2007. MK's Chain ID line was made for several years in a variety of materials & was made during the same time as the Rehearsal bags. This was long before MK added the date code tag to the bags. My research materials don't go back that far but I do acquire them when I have the opportunity & try to find what I can on earlier bags. I was mistaken about the year. Thank you for letting me know. This is a fabulous bag that has such a rich look to it & personally, I think the earlier bags are better made than the current bags being made.

Dear Cdtracing, to tell the truth I think same as You do- earlier bags are much more interesting at their appearence and style. Thank you for your response!!!
I'm back with my request to authenticate this bag! Ladies, could you please-please, help me with this? So curious of origin and history of it! 
I don' t know anything about this bag, photos were made by the previous owner of it.

This bag is Vintage from the 90's, I believe, before MK started using signature linings in his MMK line. It has the thicker cotton weave lining that's very durable & high quality. It's the crescent hobo style. MK did some equestrian inspired styles & I think this is one of them based on the buckle design. Most of these bags did not have names & it's hard to find info on them because MK does not have an archive of his vintage bags.
Hello Authenticators,
- Item: Michael Kors Suede Shoulder Bag
- Listing number: MIC40990
- Seller: The Real Real
- Link: https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/handbags/shoulder-bags/michael-kors-suede-shoulder-bag-2
- Comments: Not sure it is authenticate because the strap loops are missing and there is no style stamp on back of the leather tab. It says it was a sample. Attached are additional pictures I took after I received the bag.
This bag is authentic. It's a sample bag that was made for display at merchandise & trunk shows, probably when the style first came out & as an example of different materials available. That would explain why there is no shoulder strap or hardware for one. It's good. No Worry.

So do I.
I have not seen a Vintage MK bag without the made in tag but I have seen one or two where the owner cut the tag out. The made in tag is not the only detail that determines authenticity.
