Hi yeah I first posted a comment when I brought my bag online and only this morning received it as it was sent to me from another country.

I read again about the rules and I understand why you would rather give the advice to people who contribute. I would probably feel the same too.

My comment was hasty, I read it the rules and took it personally when I shouldnt have. Your all kind enough to give advice to people for free and I do respect that. So, sorry again.

If its alright, I will stick around. I think this forum is very interesting and informative.

I'm glad you've decided to stick around & we were able to clear up any misunderstanding. We welcome new & contributing members. We can all learn from each other.:smile1:
 
Thank you so much.. That is encouraging to hear. I must have misunderstood. This is my story..


I am brand new to Michael Kors purses. As a student I have never had money to spend on nice bags. But ever since my friend showed me her bags, I have been in love with them. I liked and bought two bags both of which were listed new but defective but I intended to get them fixed. I had no idea what a big issue counterfeits are until my friend educated me a couple of days ago and directed me to this site and asked that I return if the bags are fake. I am hoping someone may be able to help me authenticate them. Thank you so much for any help!



This is the first bag: I have attached pictures

While it is not a TPF rule that you have to have 25 post before receiving an evaluation, the MK authenticators have decide to have this requirement due to some problems we have had with some new members. It's not meant to discourage you but we hope it will stop some of the inappropriate comments that have been made. If you would kindly go on the forum to any thread that might interest you, & participate by commenting on them, you will have your post count up in no time. I will evaluate your bags, then. Just repost your request with your pictures (which are quite good & clear). Thank you.

Thank you.. I will attempt to do that :)
 
Everybody doesn't have the cash to pay to get an opinion!!!

With all due respect, that's not really our members problem. You are welcome to respectfully ask for help, it's their decision what they'd like to offer opinions on, they're volunteers.
If you aren't happy with this, that's fine, then respectfully look elsewhere.
 
I think alot of people are confused and dont know how to use the forum because the format of the mobile site is quite hard to navigate, its difficult to attach pictures, and you dont have any signature when you post, so when you tell people to look at your signature, theres nothing there. You guys were really really helpful and saved alot of people time and money. I know it's frustrating when people dont know the rules but when a sites difficult to navigate and the rules are on the very first page of an almost 100 page thread, they wouldnt know to look at page 1.. Its sad that you won't authenticate for people with under 25 posts because alot of people come here simply for your opinions on bags.


Yes, it is confusing, especially considering the poster following me on this thread had already purchased her bag and it looks like she got help. I'm happy to take more pictures if someone is willing to help me.

I know the seller only had one feedback but I spoke with her many times before buying and felt she was sincere.

My main concern is that now that I'm looking at everyone else's MK bags, I don't see any others with the buckle with the name on the front like mine. I saw plenty others on eBay, but not here. I preferred the buckle to the lock and key charm, and mostly just wondered if anyone new if the buckle is legitimate, as I stated in my OP.

I'm completely new to MK bags.

I don't do any of this from my phone, although many do. I'm on the forum on my laptop. The authenticators on the MK AT thread have decided to implement a requirement of 25 post due to issues we have had with some new members becoming argumentative & combative when they don't get the answer they want. It's not meant to put new members off; we're just taking a step back. We are not paid to give this service.

It doesn't take much effort to check out the forum & contribute with posts to get your post count up to 25. There are many forums here with many threads that are informative as well as countless Premiere & Modern designer forums. There's an Ebay forum with countless threads that help people when buying on Ebay as well as Health & Beauty, Jewelry, & just Handbags in general forums. We don't mind helping once you have reached the 25 post count. As to the member who followed you, she had posted for an evaluation before the changes had been implemented & I had asked her to post certain required pictures when she received her bag. She did this & also included a quote to her original post as I had requested. She was unaware of things that had occurred since her original post. I explained to her the situation & changes. She understands.

I'm sorry if this is inconvenient but we are trying to be fair to all members. Other designer AT threads have similar requirements.
 
Sorry, I do not authenticate shoes. Perhaps one of our other members may know more. Please wait for them to chime in. However this seller appears to be outstanding with only 2 negs out of almost 10, 000! Neither of them are for fakes. I don't care for the fact that she is using web photos that are not her own, however this seller would not be on ebay with such outstanding feedback, for this long, if she were selling fakes.I did check out her past and present listings and the shoes I recognize ( Coach) are all authentic. They are fairly priced at reasonable market value. I personally, would feel confident purchasing from this seller.

We do have a thread for MK shoes here. You can check there to speak with ladies who often buy MK shoes and they may be of more assistance, or you could possibly find pics there of the same shoes to compare them to in that thread. You can also do a google search for that style name to compare as well. Cute shoes!
Thank you, CinthiaZ I do really appreciate very much your feedback.:smile1:
 
As CinthiaZ has stated, this seller has a good track record & is a long standing seller. I do not know anything about MK shoes & I do not own any. I'm sorry but I would not feel comfortable trying to authenticate these. Perhaps some of our ladies on the shoe thread who own MK shoes could be of assistance. Good Luck.
Thank you!
 
Usually but some don't. If you can post some pics of the wallet with the interior, heat stamp, stitching, &made in/date tags, we can take a look. It's small so you may have to look for it.

Ok I asked for those pics just waiting for the persons reply. Its from a local sales page. Wondering if this an outlet wallet. Here are the photos I have from the seller so far:

From the pictures you've provided so far, it does look like an outlet wallet. I would still like to see if the made in tag if she finds it. See if she will send you a picture of the zipper pull as well.

I think the authenticators in this thread would love to help once you've contributed to the forum a bit more :yes:. Each Authenticate This thread on the forum has different volunteers who are incredibly knowledgeable in the brand and give their opinions. It is up to each authenticator how they would like to help. The MK authenticators would like to see people with at least 25 posts. There are so many great areas on the forum, and if you are able to share a bit more on the forum, they seem to be happy to help you for free!!

The forum can be a bit daunting at first, but so happy to hear you'd like to stick around!! :welcome:

If you share a bit more and reach 25 posts, the authenticators say they'd help! Hope you find what you're looking for!

The forum can be a lot to take in when you first find it - the mobile app doesn't show signatures, that is a good point. We are looking for better ways to help the Authenticators help out and make it easy for everyone!
