I think I've managed? This is the plate on the front, and there isn't a "made in" tag? The lining is a thick material?

I agree with cdtracing that this is an authentic vintage bag, but I am concerned the made in country tag is not there?? Please look very hard in the folds of the lining on the left side of the bag. It should be there.

Wow! You people are good! Ive pulled the inside out, and yes, there is a tag tucked in the corner…MADE IN CHINA A-0801.
Does that tell you anything about how old it is etc?

Yes, the bag is from August of 2001. It is an lovely authentic vintage bag. Glad that tag is there or it would not be authentic. Enjoy!

Cinthia you were right. I looked on ebay and I think I found the same exact jet tote except in a different color.

Hi,
Thanks for your help. You stated bags are vintage? They both state they are new. Do you know how old these bags are? Thanks again.

A bag can still be New With Tags and a vintage design. Many vintage bags are still available new, because all of them were not sold. These bags will often end up at the retail outlets for a discounted price and many ebay sellers buy them to resell and make a profit. While that particular vintage design is no longer produced, there are still many of them in circulation. You are still getting a good bargain because when the bag first came out, the price was much higher at what it originally retailed for. Hope this helps you understand. It's all part of the retail market. I can not tell you how old they are without seeing the date code tag, which the seller does not show, but I am guessing from the early 2000s?

Hi this is my first post and I've just purchased a Michael Kors Selma Large Satchel from ebay and I have a 50/50 feeling it's not authentic due to some factors. I've also heard of really really similar look alikes from china that are hard to tell from the real ones. I researched a lot after I bought the bag and some red flags popped up :\

Ebay username: hafiiz01
Link: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-...04?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3cf7e84358

So to start off this ebay user had 4 other listings for this same bag (I thought he was just really desperate to get rid of it) and after I bought one of them he didn't take down the other listings so he must have another 3 instock :( also i asked where he got the bags from and he said USA. He was also really quick to give me a $20 discount which I feel is a lot if your bag is only going for $285 incld post.

The bag looks really really legit but then again this is my first bag in Saffiano Leather. The stitching, logo, handles, zipper, serial tags looks really authentic:

BUT when the bag arrived, the handles and shoulder strap weren't wrapped in paper tissue only the zipper tab was which got me thinking he might have removed the plastic which they originally came in. Although it arrived completely wrapped in paper tissue it was also encased in plastic which said "Made in China" even though on the little tab inside of the bag it said made in indonesia a1-1501?

2nd thing is in the bag, at the bottom, the MK logos when I have the bag facing me, is actually NOT facing me (I saw an older post on this thread and referenced)

The letter spacing on the tag looked a little off when I compared it to other tags online.

The bit that says "Michael Kors" on the leather tab is actually slanted u may not be able to see that one clearly.

If anyone can help that would be great I really want to know if it's real. or fake.

Good Morning,

Can you please authenticate this ebay bag. I am interested in it but am not sure if Michael Kors every had a small logo such as on this bag. Thanking you in advance for all your help. Is this a vintage bag?

This listing has ended but from the pictures posted, it appears to be an older MK. I am unfamiliar with this style but some things look correct. It would be helpful to see a clear picture of the interior, interior stitching & the made in country/date tag inside the bag. Did you purchase this bag? If you did, please post the necessary pictures & link your original inquiry when you receive it so we can evaluate further.
