I have a brown leather bag with suede.
The bag has a light, almost beige lining that doesn't rustle, and has no prints. Possibly polyester.

Inside, the MICHAEL, MICHAEL KORS leather tag is exactly of the same leather & color than the outside leather. Perfect stitching.

On one side of the lining, it has a zipper pocket that is framed w/a single piece of leather; the same leather than the outside leather.

On the other side of the lining, it has 2 flat pockets perfectly stitched. No cellphone pocket. It has an extension with a lobster clasp for attaching the keys.

The stitching inside and outside of the bag is meticulous, straight, neat, and clean with NO overlapping anywhere. The seams are clean.

The sides on the outside of the bag are made of one piece of leather.

Having said that, it has a tag that says MADE IN CHINA, but no numbers nor letters. It seems to be plastic and very soft.

This bag is probably from the mid 80s? The leather has no stains, no rips, no tears. Just a couple of scuff marks.

The hardware on the front has a very small MK and below it MICHAEL KORS.

The closing tab that moves from horizontal to vertical position shows some wear but the MK gold metal is nearly perfect.

The bag was used daily for years, so I don't know if some wear on the closing tab is normal.

There is no other hardware with emblems anywhere.

The handles are strong and not easy to bend, they feel like rods. The bag stands straight up and doesn't collapse even when I push it down. It regains it's strong stance immediately.

Is it possible that it IS authentic or an extremely good fake?

Hallo cdtracing,
I would like to ask, if you could be that kind and check authenticity of my two Selmas.
First one:
  • Item: Selma large navy, GHW
  • SERIAL NUMBER: None
  • Link (if available): local pre-owned bags web site, link is not avalible
  • Who took the pictures: I did.
  • History of the bag: pre-owned by the seller.
  • Comments: I am having this bag for few years and I still love it, only thing that concerns me is that there is no white tag with serial number behind the transparent one.
