I have the same concerns as CinthiaZ and Cdtracing - most glaringly, the tag definitely does not look right. Also CinthiaZ, is this pattern on the tissue paper stuffing new? In the seller's past listings, only stock photos were used and it appears she has multiples of the same item. I would not feel comfortable purchasing this bag from this seller.

Hi! I was looking on ebay and ran across this bag and I've never seen the inside of a MK look like this. Can you take a look and authenticate this bag?

http://m.ebay.com/itm/400871099803?lpid=82&chn=ps

There are more photos listed under the description tab.

Thanks in advance!
We have seen the white solid linings on the vintage bags, but there are not enough pics to authenticat. Please ask the seller for pics of the Michael Kor label / heat stamp and a pic of the Made in country tag. Tell seller they will find it on the left seam of the lining.

OK, where did you buy the Miranda? I have done some research and am finding that is the price tag that is being used on the Mirandas. So it is safe to say they using that format on the MICHAEL line, as opposed to the MICHAEL Michael Kors series. I just need to do more research on that tissue, as we have that seen design on the linings of several fakes.

Also, please post those pics in the Miranda thread to see if any of the other gals got their bags with that tissue.

I purchased the miranda bag from zappos and also bloomingdales, and both stores have the same tissue papers. I also saw the miranda satchel at macys and they have the same tissue papers.

Unless this is a very good fake... I will be very terrified.

As we discussed on the Miranda thread, and after some serious research and help from the ladies on the Miranda thread, I have discovered this is how the price tags appear on the higher end line of MICHAEL KORS bags. It is only the MMK line that has the MK in tan on them at top. I also found out from the ladies on the Miranda forum that they received the same tissue in their bags that were purchased from reliable sources.

So us authenticators learn something new all the time! It is the ladies continually coming here that keep us buffed and polished doing more research all the time! Thanks for that!
 
Hello... so ive been losing sleep over this. Please help me authenticate this Hamilton in Sapphire for me. Ive never owned a Hamilton before so cant compare.
Here are my concerns when i first got the bag;
1. the feel of the saffiano leather was rubbery, borderline slightly sticky/tacky when i first got it. Not smooth nor does it make that noise when you run your nails over it like the saffiano Selma tote.This material felt a lot more rubbery than smooth in comparison to my selma. .

2. Supposedly being a stiff saffiano leather, it was very pliable. especially the bottom of the bag is not as stiff as i thought as it it has a lot of give at the slightest touchl i cant hold it by the bottom cause it sinks in. and the handles as shown in pics are so effortlessly bendy and twisty and does not make that squeaky noise of a new MK saffiano bag. i can practically fold the bag into two that is how soft it is.

3.what seemed like sticky glue residue in the black piping of the bag.

4. Color of tags are much paler in comparison from a Selma that i was purchased from Macy's.

5. Another thing i noticed straight away is that the magnetic clapsp does not have numbers or any thing on them. Not sure if that is normal or not.

5.Though hearing that some made in tags are black. I hope this serial number is real.

Please please help me aunthenticate this for me. I bought this from an online seller that is supposed to me known to sell authentic bags, i bought my medium Selma from here and a few coach FOS bags which werei indeed real. This was my 2nd MK purchase from her. and when asked about these problems her only reply is that she only sells authentic bags and seemed to ignore my pleas after. Her fb domain is "Princess Victoria Stylo'.

My only conclusion if it is authentic is that it was a used returned item to the store hence the discount.

sorry im a first time user for this site didnt mean to send it multiple posts, on my screen it didnt tell me it was posted. very sorry. anyway thats my issue with that bag.
The bag is totally authentic. Not all Hamiltons are made of saffiano leather. It says right on your price tag GENUINE LEATHER. You have purchased one of MANY Genuine Leather Hamiltons. You can not compare real leather to the saffiano leather. Real leather is soft and flexible compared to saffiano that is stiff. It this were a saffiano bag it would say so on the price tag. No worries, you have purchased an authentic GENUINE LEATHER Hamilton tote.

You only show a pic of one snap, what about the other side?
 
Hi, I've been eyeing Saffiano Sutton for a while and I've found one online seller that sells it for a quite reasonable price. I finally got it but this is my first MK bag and no matter how many articles I've read, I'm still worried about the authenticity if this bag.
Would really appreciate it if you guys can help me authenticate this baby.
