Can you help me authenticate this bag, it just arrived today. It appears vintage & I would love to know when it was made, the name & color (appears ivory, darker than vanilla). Picture 4 is closest to the actual color. I could not find any manufacturers code, but it does have the Made in China tag. Let me know if you need more pictures. Thank you!
It's an authentic vintage MK crescent hobo bag. My reference material does not go back far enough to indentify the name or year it was made. I would say the color is probably Ivory; it's too dark for cream or vanilla.
Thank you! In looking around online, I'm wondering if it could be in the Woodside Collection. It has the same handle & hardware.

Could be. There are similarities to this bag & the Woodside.
Thanks a bunch! When did they start putting in the date codes? I've seen some tags from 2006 (A-0611), but that's about the earliest year I've seen.
Hi, cdtracing!
Would you please take a look at an ebay listing for a Michael Kors Ciara Black Leather Medium Messenger Satchel Bag and let me know if you believe the bag is authentic or a fake? The reason I'm concerned is because the listing originally had a picture of the inside of the bag (see uploaded file) showing the inside tag which indicated that the bag was made in INDONESIA and part of the tag was missing from the picture, but the portion of the style number that I could see looked like it said 8F8GC6M2L. I emailed the seller and asked about the style number. Instead of replying to my email, the seller replaced the original picture of the inside of the purse with a different picture showing that the bag was made Bangladesh. Red flags went up for me! Something about the new picture of the inside tag bugs me even more. For example, the T19....the T looks bigger than the 19; and the word BANGLADESH...it looks like the spacing is off between the letter B and the letter A. The link to the ebay listing is:
Thank you!!!!!!

The bag in the listing looks authentic & Indonesia & Bangladesh are 2 countries where bags are manufactured. I don't know why the seller would change the picture in the listing to a different tag with a different lining & date. I'm not comfortable with this listing if the seller is not willing to communicate.
I would like to think that the seller realized she/he made a mistake and posted the wrong picture, but if that were the case, one would think that she/he would have replied to my email explaining that before replacing the picture. Also, the picture in the original picture clearly shows the style number as F8GC6M2L. Is there even a Michael Kors bag that includes those letter and numbers in the style number? In the picture of the "new" tag, does the letter spacing of BANGLADESH looks off to you....especially between the B and the A. Also, does the T look taller than the 19 to you?
Thank you!
