Michael Kors **CLOSED** Authenticate This MICHAEL KORS

[cdtracing]

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 :\

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.

I have looked at all the pictures & the only thing I see that's different is the lining at the bottom is not facing forward. I went & even double checked my Selma's against your picture & all of mine face forward. This bag looks correct elsewhere & the saffiano leather looks correct.

Michael Michael Kors does have a factory in China as well as Indonesia, Turkey, & Philippines. I think your bag is authentic but would like for the other 2 authenticators on this forum to weigh in with their opinions. It's always good to get a consensus. I'll send them an email & ask them to have a look.

Zipper is fine; they don't all have YKK zippers & your dust bag is authentic as well.

This bag is authentic. Indonesia is a country the bags are made in. The seller probably used the same outline for each listing of the Selmas he had and forgot to change that part. I have done this myself. It is a common error, while trying to save time, to use the same listing outline for similar bags.
However, this seller should not confuse buyers by using the same pics for each listing. This is just pure laziness! lol! However, the bags are all authentic. I did check his past and present listings and they all look good.

Also, each country made in and depending what year it was made, there will be variances in the bags. They will not all be identical. This bag has all the necessary indications to show that it is an authentic Selma. The seller most likely purchased them at the outlet store for a steal, and was able to pass along the savings. No worries! Your Selma is authentic.
