After further review, I am not so sure about this wallet. I found that this must be the mini wallet, as most of the regular wallets do not have the leather trim on the edges. I also question the way the leather overlaps in the second photo and I am not liking how the MK s are placed on the PVC. My biggest concern is that I can't find any with the snap on the back and how the Michael Kors is completely cut off, not even completing the word Michael. I find this to be unusual. Wallets are not my area of expertise so I will turn this over to either Jojo21 or Cdtracing . Please wait for their response.

According to the date code, it is an older model at least 5 years old, so I have nothing to compare it to. I have also not seen a date code start with the letter combination of 'GJ' before. I did an extensive search and could not find ONE with that snap on the back. This wallet has many good signs of authenticity and if it is a fake, it's a very good one, however, there are questionable signs that need to be addressed. At this point, knowing where it is from would really help. Could you please tell us where you are purchasing this from? Why do I have a feeling this is a facebook purchase?

If Jojo21 or cdtracing, or any one else here isn't sure, like me, you might have to get an evaluation from *****************.com. I do not feel comfortable telling you this wallet is authentic.

Yup it was from Facebook. This was my first and will be last purchase from there. I usually just buy at the stores. Lesson learned haha. I appreciate your time and help very much :)

Now wait a minute, I didn't say it was fake. Someone here might recognize that wallet. I still want to hear from the other authenticators here to see what they think. If you are looking for bargains, ebay is a good place to get great deals. Just show us the listing first so we can give you the go ahead or not.

I have spent a great deal of time researching this wallet. There are several things that are correct but at the same time there are a few things that aren't quite right. I have been all over the internet & on several sites but I have not found another one like this. :shrugs: I'm sorry but I'm not comfortable saying this is authentic. What I can say is that I'm just not sure. I have looked everywhere I can think & cannot find anything to compare to. I even checked my catalogs going back to 2010 & couldn't find it. It may very well be an outlet wallet which would explain why it's not in the catologs. I'm sorry I couldn't help. :sad:

I haven't tried it & haven't heard of anyone doing it. I'm not sure how it would work.

I've attached pictures of the bag, seller, listing number, etc from eBay. I would greatly appreciate it if you can authenticate.

My apologies if this type of bag has already been done. I've searched throughout various threads and have not seen one yet with this type of "buckle" with Michael Kors name on it, I've only seen the lock and key, which has me concerned.

The stitching is perfect, the interior stamp matches authenticity guidelines, and more. It's just that darn buckle.

Maybe this is an older version? It's fine if it is, because I preferred that look to the lock and key, but if it's fake I'm going to be very upset at myself.

TIA

I have never heard of this being any way to authenticate a bag. Receipts and bar codes can be faked just like anything else. Most new bags come with a tag that has a bar code on it, whether it is authentic or not. I always understood the bar code, to just be a price that gets scanned to a register. It probably does have the name of the item on it, but that does not validate it's authenticity. Tags can easily be duplicated or torn off of bags at the department stores. I don't think this would validate a bags authenticity,

I suggest calling the 800 number from the Michael Kors website. They should be able to tell you more. Let us know what they say please.
