Hi, i'm a newbie here and i need your help.
I have a Jet Set Tote color-block (whitout zip, but i can't find another threat about JetSet bag), i have one like this (i don't have photos of my bag because i send it to the store for a evaluation) :

After some months of using, the leather starts saggins in the corners and appears a lot of little wrinkles in the sides, it looks like this one but with a lot of wrinkles

I don't have now photos of my bag 'cause I send it to the store for a repair or a replace, but they say to me "maybe it's not a deffective bag because leather do this type of variations".
¿Really? Wrinkles in saffiano leather isn't a manufacturing defect? What do you think?
Anyone have this bag and see wrinkles in the leather?
Thanks so much!

If it is like the second bag, then it isn't a genuine kors bag as the one in the photo is counterfeit which could explain the issues you are experiencing as it will not be a genuine kors so the standards of manufactuer and products used will be inferior by some degree.

Where did you purchase this bag from?

I have the same style as the top photo and it is from
2013 and I am the second owner and it is still in excellent condition. I also have lots of other saffiano bags and none have wrinkled in the way you describe and have been exposed to rain and sun.

Sometimes kors quality control has been a bit lax over recent times, but I would expect defective leather to be picked up.

Have you exposed it to long periods in bright sunlight? as that could dry leather out and cause it to split and wrinkle. I have just had to replace a leather chair in our conservatory as all the leather split due to the sun exposure.

I am unsure what store you took it to for evaluation but sa's are not able to give authentications and are in fact told not to. They only sell the product and are not trained to sniff out counterfeit items.

What does it say on the clear tag inside the bag it will be something like e-1306 made in china?

Oh no, the second photo is only an example of the wrinkles, i purchase the bag myself in an offical store of Michael Kors in Barcelona, and i take it there for the evaluation.

I only exposed my bag to the sunlight when i was on the street, but i think a bag have to support this kind of light.... Then i stored in my closet into the dustbag....

I don't know what the clear tag inside sais 'cause i don't have the bag with me right now...

Thanks for your help!!

Welcome to tpf, didn't realise you only joined a few hours ago.

In response, yes I understood it was an example photo, but it is of a counterfeit bag, where it of course won't look like a genuine article, so you can't compare it to that if you are confident your bag is genuine authentic Kors. The quality will be totally different.

I understand you don't currently have the bag to hand. It maybe best to seek advice here again when you have it back and can provide tpf members with photos of the actual bag with the wrinkles you describe. Then others may be able to help with whether they have seen what you describe, or not.

As I say not something i've seen, or seen others mention on here.

Hopefully other members may respond to your original post as well, but photos of bag would really help.

Yes it should withstand that kind of exposure to sunlight. I was thinking more leaving it in a glass roofed area or something. I store all my saffiano bags in their dustbags and none have done that and I find on my jet set like yours the leather is tough like a rhino hide so withstands day to day life and although it slouches it doesn't wrinkle.

Have you tried contacting kors customer service? Did the Barcelona store send it away for evaluation, sorry is that where it is now? If not, I would contact customer service direct by phone to discuss. They should help if the bag is defective as they will want your repeat custom. If not and the bag isn't that old, you could go to whatever your version of trading standards is to ask their adice on what your rights are. Under the sale of goods act in UK we have certain rights, but am unsure what covers consumers over there.

Good luck.

Over the years, I've always read that the MK top zip came before the Totally....:smile1:

See i have heard dribbles of that too, that is why i asked. I guess one would have to know the release dates that would solve the mystery.

Hello,


I've never posted here before and have a question. I just purchased a jet set tote in dark dune from TJ Maxx. I've searched everywhere online for answers but had a really hard time finding an identical tote and I searched this forum looking to see if anyone has the same one but I didn't see anyone that did. I attached a picture I did finally find online on EBay of the same purse. I'm wondering if anyone that has a similar purse can tell me if it stays pretty structured or if it sags? Also, I can't figure out what kind of leather this is and am wondering if I should use my MK protector spray on it?



I hope this is posted in the right spot. Thanks! :)

Hi MK addicts! I know my question is general about the Jet Set models but I think I'll ask it here. I'm looking for a Jet Set not too small to have as an "interview" bag. I might need it, have no idea if soon or not, but better be prepared, right? Searching for Jet Set bags I noticed few of them having either the handles or the top rim cracked or otherwise damaged. Do you think this is a weakness of them and no matter what model I'd choose they'll all end getting the same cracks and frayings on handles and top seam? TIA fr any input on this.

I am interested in buying the large jet saffiano leather tote. Would I be able to carry that with another handbag? I go to work with a Longchamp tote and a handbag everyday. Would Jet Set look like I was carrying 2 purses?

Hello. I was super excited to find a pearl grey medium sized on clearance at Lord and Taylor. But it was too good to be true, the zipper has a stain. I called to get a replacement but it's out of stock.
I tried using a baby wipe with no luck. Anyone has any suggestion on what I could use to clean it? I don't know what made the stain but it's like orange in color. It's small but I don't want it there, maybe I'm too picky. I'll return it if I can't remove it.
