Hello,

I'm new to this site, and you folks really seem to know your stuff! I have a MICHAEL Michael Kors bag that I purchased a number of years ago (I think at Macy's but I'm not certain). Can anyone tell me the style# or name or collection year or anything else to identify this bag. I've been searching images, etc trying to identify it but haven't found anything even close to this type of hardware, etc.

Thanks so much for any info you can give me.

Can you post pictures of the interior, the heat stamp, interior stitching & any interior tags, if any? This looks like a vintage MK bag. Many did not have a specific name or come from a specific collection. CinthiaZ, a MK collector for decades, is our expert on the vintage bags. Can't wait for her to see this one.

Going by the hardware design, this is from the Michael Kors JOPLIN collection. If I were listing it, I would title it as,

"Michaels Kors Vintage Studded Joplin Satchel Color Block Brown & White Leather"

It is a vintage bag that I am sure has the all white thick cotton lining. These bags were not faked and I am certain it is authentic. Is a beautiful bag from about the mid 80s. However they still sold in the retail stores and outlets for years after it came out. This bag is extremely well made , just like all of the MK older bags were. However the bags like this are not much in demand anymore because of all the new popular styles. The most it can resale for is around 100.00 in excellent condition. It originally sold for 298.00. Hope this helps.

Thats so much for the info. Yes, you're right, it has the thick cotton lining.

I may actually keep this one. I'm in the process of "thinning the herd" so I'm researching some of my older bags to see what I have.

This site is awesome - I'm so glad I found it.

Hi. I picked this bag up at Nordstrom Rack for $380 on sale. The tag says Miranda, but I can't find any other photos online for this specific tote. Can anyone help?View attachment 3084900

This is an awesome bag. It's the new Miranda Tote from the Michael Kors collection. $380 is a great price for this bag. I believe it's sold out on the MK site.

Hi, I usually hang out in the EBay Forum, but have a question for you all. I got this bag years ago and cannot find any of the tags. I usually keep them, but.... Anyway, I am wondering if anyone knows the model number/name? I have looked, but maybe in the wrong places. lol

The color will not photograph correctly, but not sure if that matters. It is like a mustard yellow, a little dull.

Thank you in advance!

Hello there! I can tell you this is an older model and I have seen them before and sold one on ebay. They are neat how the MK Medallion fits into the ring that closes the pocket and then protrudes thought the ring. The closest thing I could compare it to is some sort of Fulton, however I don't see any Fultons listed anywhere that are exactly like this one.

Michael Kors makes many bags that are not in any collection and just are a tote or a satchel, etc.This bag could very well just be a Michael Kors Leather Tote. I don't claim to know everything, but from what I have seen, the closest thing I can compare it to is an MK Fulton. Perhaps someone else will tell us more.

Thank you. Yes, I bought it a few years ago at a department store and was just curious. I am giving it to a friend of mine and she is thrilled! It was too heavy for me. The leather feels wonderful, though.
Thank you again!

Anyone heard of outletbagsales.com is this a legimate website for authentic MK bags? Prices too good to be true and Seems schetchy to me however I ran across it doing a search. Thoughts please? Thank you!

While I am not familiar with this site and have never purchased from them, they appear to be selling authentic USED bags, thus the low prices. All of the bags I looked at are genuine MK styles and designs and they show pics that show 'some' authenticity. Frankly their deals are almost too good to be true. I don't know if I would use them , myself. Like you said "too good to be true", however the bags really do look good to me! I have to wonder if they send you the same bag that is in the pics?? No way anyone could sell real MK for that price. Something is fishy. I also don't like how they steal the MK logo to use on their website making it appear as if it is a MK website. MK does not have any online outlets. Alos there NO reiviews at all! I wonder how old this site is?? They coulld just rake in the bucks for a few months and not send anyone anything!! Anyone can steal pics of bags off the internet and set up a website...I don't trust this site at all!

I hope member 'cdtracing' will investigate this website and find out the date it was set up? Is strange there are no reviews anywhere??

Thank you!! My thoughts exactly. There's also no phone number and I read everything on the links on the bottom of the page and it was pretty wacky. Your totally right you would pay and then not be sent anything and there would be no way of buyers protection or way of contacting them. I don't like when they don't have a direct number to get in touch with. Thank you for your fast response. I to wouldn't trust this site it just threw me off with the legitimate pictures of the bags. Thanks again;)

Yes, I really think they stole the pics from other listings and are just collecting money as long as they can get away with it. What a shame that con artists like this rake advantage of people and many are too naive and fall for this!

Hello I'm new to to the purse forum and wanted to know how can I get items authenticated from the pre loved websites?

Here is a good website you can go to to get authentications, http://*****************.com/

They will evaluate any bag for you for a very small fee. I use them all the time and they are great!
