Melbo explains this quite eloquently. I would also like to point out that most authenticators would have an even harder time doing authentications from a phone, than you are having trying to get one.. We need to see clear large detailed photos. We have to open links, look up information, investigate sellers and websites. I can't even imagine doing it from a cell phone. There is a lot more to this than people realize. This can not easily be done on a cell phone as you well point out. I wouldn't even consider it! How important is it to you to not buy a fake? If it is important enough to me to take time on my computer to help people , is it so wrong to expect them to do the same?? This site is much more user friendly on a desk top. Doesn't anybody own one anymore?

Thanks Cinthiaz and others authenticators here. You guys did a great job for all the bags lover here , your job aren't easy at all. Thanks for all the effort giving us advise for our purchase.
As CinthiaZ says, the site is easier to navigate when using a computer. I wouldn't consider doing this on my phone. There's a lot that goes into what I do....research, investigating sellers, closely examining the pictures, ect. I know a lot of people use their cell phones to take pictures & come on this site or shop Instagram, ect. What's not thought about is that cell phones don't make the best cameras for what we need. That's why I ask for clear close up pictures & those are best taken with a camera. I don't want to make any hasty judgments when doing an evaluation. I know it seems like a lot especially when we all live in a wireless, cellular world but cell phones are not always the best method. I think a lot of people think we can just look at some pictures & tell. There's a lot more that goes into than they realize.
Dear authenticators, I have a request again. Please help me with this Michael kors medium Sutton in navy color. This bag my friend got it from a swap with a member in a bag forum for Pre loved designer bags in Malaysia. I compare my Sutton in black with hers (from photos) everything looks okay except the direction of the inner tag ,ie the transparent and the white tag (pictures will be attached). Please let me have ur kind opinions please. Thanks in advance
Hi! I would like to ask your opinion about MK bag which was actually authenticated here some time last year. Please don't think that I don't trust your expertise.
I always wondered why I can't find this bag with short strap anywhere, it seems to come only as crossbody. So, I found it during my spring cleaning again and took closer look. It seems that previous owner let the strap shortend, you can see double and bad stiching. Do you agree with me?
I included some more pics of the bag too.
Thank you so much for your time!

This appears to be the Charlton Crossbody which came out around 2010 & did not come with a shorter strap. To answer your question, the strap does look to have been repaired or shortened. I would guess it was done at a general shoe/leather repair shop & not one that had much experience with designer items.
And I love your sig line!
