I can tell by the price tag and care cards that this bag is authentic. Also I have looked at all the sellers present and past listings and all of her bags are authentic. This is a top rated seller with over 4000 feedbacks for sell beautiful authentic bags. I would feel totally confident buying from this seller. Generally more pics would be needed, but with this sellers reputation and the photos of the paperwork, ie, price tag and care card, not to mention the bag itself is a bag that is put out by Michael Kors. I it is enough to tell us the bag is authentic. It is the 'Michael Kors Selma Mini Microstud Saffiano Leather Messenger Bag'
You are welcome! You just happened to catch me here. I am leaving shortly! lol!Thank you for quick reply
Tags and cards can be replicated. To prove authenticity you need to review the ENTIRE bag.
I did review the pics that were available. I also reviewed the Top rated seller who is well known for selling authentic only. because of her repeat customers and reputation she does not always post all pics we need, but since I am familiar with the bag, I saw enough to know it was authentic. The bag is authentic and this is a very reputable seller. I would feel as confident buying from her as if I was at Macy's. The OP did ask us if we knew the seller and I do!
No worries! Just offering my expertise on what to look for when determining authentication.
Thank you i will hang around for now. I had fun reading convo..im also about to purchased mk sutton bag from a friend 's whom she refers trusted seller here from philippines when my bag arrives i will let u check it for authentication cause it is also my 1stym to purchased bag from mk..thanks
You are correct, generally we need all the pics you requested and that are in all of the authenticators here in the Michael Kors thread, in our signatures below in blue , but in this case, this is a very reputable seller. A couple of us have purchased and know of many good sellers on ebay and even sell on ebay ourselves. You get to know who is who after awhile. I have purchased a couple of bags from this seller and they were always authentic. You don't stay on ebay for over 8 years, by selling fakes. She has been on there a very long time. and has an impeccable reputation. We also use tools like toolhaus.org which shows any and all negative comments, which can not be viewed in her feedback easily. Toolhaus is such a great tool! Out of over 4000 customers, she has 2 negatives and 6 nuetrals mostly for shipping time, which she stated was the fault of the post office. Not one complaint of ever receiving a fake. That's an outstanding record for 8 years of selling handbags. I would buy from her anytime and she is on my favorites list.
You can view her only 2 negs and nuetrals in the link below. Did you ever use toolhaus.org?? It is such a valuable tool. I highly recommend it for buyers when checking out a seller. What is funny is some of the nuetrals had high praise comments in them! I'll never understand why buyers do this to sellers! Especially when they state they got a beautiful bag at a great price!?? Why would they just give her a nuetral?? Unbelievable!

Even stitching, hardware should match an authentic sutton (hint: MK keeps the hardware consistent amongst most of the bag models so it'll be easy to compare), serial code (if buying preloved sometimes they fall off), if possible the presence of a foul scent may indicate synthetic materials used, tags & care cards should match authentic cards (be careful these can be replicated), make sure the bag/colorway was in fact produced by MK.

If you see a bag on the internet you are interested in purchasing, please post the link here and we will be happy to tell you if it is fake or not. We don't give out authenticity tips, because we have found that the counterfeiters read this forum and we don't want to give away our information to them, or they will produce such good fakes, we won't be able to tell the difference anymore.
What we can do is evaluate a bag you are looking to purchase before you buy it, or after you buy it, or a bag you already own.. Just post all info requested pics and info in our signatures below, and on the first page of this thread, so we can evaluate the bag for you. We will tell you if it is fake or not, but we will not tell you why.
This is a standard practice on all of the authenticity threads for each brand in this forum. The authenticators here are very very good. After awhile of purchasing and owning the bags, you will become more familiar what to look for.
Beware of online guides. Most of them have outdated or incorrect information, unless the guide is associated with this purse forum, those are the guides that will most likely have correct information. Also you can go to this link. There are a few tips here to clarify false rumors we have found online and getting spread around. Much of it is not true.
You can read about that here...
