Hi, sorry to bother you again, could you take a look please?

Item MK Selma Satchel
Item# 251913074853
Seller jwpeace
Comments - I asked seller to look for the tag inside. She said the bag was completely tagless but she bought it at a MK store. She may not know what I was talking about. But the E in Michael Kors on front looks funny. And this is awfully inexpensive don't you think? Thanks alot!

There are not enough photos to determine authenticity. If the made in country tag and the heat stamp label, is not inside the bag, It can not be authentic. This seller has no history of selling designer bags or any kind of evidence she would know a genuine from a fake. I would not feel comfortable purchasing. Ask her to send you pics of the inside lining and any tags she sees inside the bag. That is the only we we can determine if it is authentic or not. Yes, the price is too low for a NEW bag! Especially for Python embossed which go for 398.00! She could not have possibly bought it at an MK store if there no tags inside the bag. I don't like how she is lying about this, if there are truly no tags. Not good to buy from someone who starts the sale with a lie. There is just NO WAY she bought it at it the MK store If the bag doesn't have ANY tags inside.


PS, I just notced she added a pic of the lining. The lining does look good but the heat stamp label and made in country tag MUST be there! I don't see them, but she is showing the wrong side of the interior.
She added the pictures I asked her for. They are in the listing now. Thanks.
 
Hi all, thanks for helping!
Judging from the stud to the handle, it's fake/real?

After going back through your previous post on the wrong thread, I see the listing you took this photo from. There is no way we can authenticate a bag with just one photo. But going by the listing you posted in the wrong thread, that this photo is from, the bag is authentic.

Please in the future, come to THIS thread and post the link to a listing here, and / or, post the photos we require listed clearly and repeatedly, in our signatures below and on the first page of this thread. It helps us to evaluate. Thank you.

Why are you asking about this again? We have already told you the bag appears authentic from the pictures provided in the Ebay listing of your original post. Evaluations cannot be done from one picture of stud & handle. It's not necessary to clutter up the thread with pictures & questions that have already been answered.

Hi, I don't have another bag to post pictures about but I do have a question about the Michael Kors Jet Set Medium Multifunction Travel Tote I posted about earlier. CinthiaZ, you said the bag is authentic which is great but why is it the bag doesn't have the Michael Kors name tag stamped under the zipper pocket? I find all the other Multifunction Tote bags have the name tag but not mine. At least, the black I purchased doesn't have it. :( Do you know possibly why this is CinthiaZ? Thank you so much!

Is this the bag you purchased from Macy's? Macy's is a reputable seller of authentic Michael Kors. As to why your bag does not have a heat stamp, I can't answer. That would be a question for Michael Kors customer service to answer.
 
Hi everyone! :) I purchased my first MichaelKors bag a few weeks ago and it is called the Michael Kors Jet Set Medium Multifunction Travel Tote. I got the bag in a beautiful brown color and then I made another purchase of the same bag but I got it in black. The black bag in the the inside didn't feel the same as the brown bag like the padding was much more thicker and bulky than the brown bag. As well, the black didn't have the Michael Kors name tag in it. I think that's very odd. Can someone please help me understand why this is? I looked at the older versions of this bag and they don't match up. Please and thank you so much!!!!!

Item Name: Michael Kors Jet Set Medium Multifunction Travel Tote
Seller: Macy's
-----I will post pictures as soon as I can. I am doing this on my phone and don't see any add photos button. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm having a hard time adding more then one picture. :(
-----Okay, I added some pictures.


As Cdtracing stated, you told us you bought the bag from Macy's. Macy's does NOT sell fake MK bags. While you did not show the heat stamp, you did show other pics that indicated the bag to be authentic. Are you telling me this bag does not have a heat stamp??

OK, I am looking at this interior and I see what you mean. The heat stamp does appear to be missing. I see a thread sticking out where it should be and am wondering if it got torn off somehow?? Do you see that thread?? If this is the case, I would simply take the bag back to your local Macy's ( even if you ordered it online they will help you) and bring your receipt. The bag SHOULD have that heat stamp. I still believe the bag to be authentic, but if the heat stamp got torn off as I suspect, it devalues the bag and you would never be able to sell it that way in the future. Just take the bag and the receipt back to macy's and I am certain they will give you a replacement bag, as Macy's is a reputable seller of Michael Kors.


Here is the pic you posted of the interior that does show the heat stamp is missing under the zipper compartment. Do you see that thread sticking out where the heat stamp should be?? I believe the heat stamp was torn off somehow and bag is defective. I am sorry I missed that. Sometimes when posters tell us they purchased a bag from Macy's we are confident it is authentic and don't go over the pics as closely as we should. Frankly this is a FIRST!! I have never seen this happen before, of the heat stamp getting removed.


There have been cases in the past where crooks will do switchbacks, of stealing a bag and replacing it with a fake in the department stores. This is very rare anymore because of all the video security we have these days. I really think the bag is just damaged / defective.

Hi CinthiaZ!

I looked again in the bag and it does not have any stitches coming out of it. The area where the name tag should be is very cleanly stitched there. I can provide another picture if you like? It really looks like the bag didn't come with it at all. I have contacted the Michael Kors Customer Support and they told me the bag is authentic and that apparently, their are 2 versions of the bag. The bag is actually called a Jet Set Tote while the other bag I had in a different color (Brown-Luggage) with the name tag in it is called a Jet Set Travel Tote.

So, if you get a multifunction bag without the name tag it's authentic but it's known as the Jet Set Tote. It's very confusing because I looked online to try and find the difference between the names of the bags but couldn't find anything.

It's strange...lol but nonetheless, I'm going to go with what they said and not wonder about the bag anymore. I just found it confusing how all the other multifunction bags had name tags but not that one bag. I lie, I will still be curious to know because it is strange because I see people on youtube with the same bag but but they all have name tags in their bags...just odd but alright. I honestly, don't think going inside a Macy's store could help me because I went to return my brown bag and they was all puzzled about it because that bag was selling like crazy everywhere and they don't honestly have enough information about the bags to know if the bag is truly damaged or not. Just my little opinion but who knows. :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond back to me and thank you as well, Cdtracing! :) I really do appreciate it!

Sukyukia, you need to know that sales reps are NOT authenticators. Here is a link ( below) of a jet set that does not have the heat stamp but is the one with the suede interior. and I believe this is what the sales rep was referring to. YOUR jet Set with the lining really SHOULD have the heat stamp as far as I know. I wish cdtracing or jojo would chime in here??
After looking at it better, it is not a loose thread I am seeing, it is just one of the web lines of the honey comb lining. Also, may I ask if the rep saw your photos??

Do you have a local Macys that you can take the bag in to physically compare? I would still take it in and have them look at it. If you don't care about the value or ever possibly selling it in the future, than it doesn't matter. keep and enjoy it, I agree.


Here is a link to the jet Set SMALL TRAVEL tote I believe the rep was referring to, NOT yours! This one has a suede interior with NO heat stamp. Yours is LINED and should have one!
