It's not the price we were concerned about. Most of the price tags will have MICHAEL KORS in TAN at the top of the receipt. I am sure you have seen them before.. ilysukixD had us look at a bag on ebay that did not have this in tan, on the price tag so we became suspicious, although the bag itself looked fine. But we look at many things like paper work, price tags, wrapping, etc. So this one threw all 3 of us authenticators off! lol! But after some research, I discovered they use receipts without the MICHAEL KORS in tan, at the top, on the higher end line of MK such as Mirandas and Caseys.

Sorry, I can't find the little tag that came with my casey, but I do remember thinking it was different from my other tags and realized the difference after I picked up the miranda that those two tags are the same. Hope this helps.
Ok, sorry, can't find my original tag. You guys are great at helping all of us! Kudos to you all for all your hard work and research!
I keep all of my tags and the MMK line tags all have MICHAEL Michael Kors in tan lettering at the top with MICHAEL Michael Kors in white lettering on a tan background on the back. My Miranda tag just says Michael Kors on the back in white lettering on the tan background.
It's great to share all of these authentication tips, but it also gives a lot of information to counterfeiters, just making your job harder in the long run, CinthiaZ.

Would you think private messages in certain situations would be more appropriate in curbing helping counterfeiting? What do you guys and gals think? I definitely do not want to be aiding them. Any suggestions.
We are fairly safe here on this Miranda thread. On the authenticity thread we do try to keep it to a minimum. That is why I moved it HERE. The counterfeitors would be mostly reading the authenticity threads, not threads like these. Buyers do ask a lot of questions and demand answers. We often use abbreviations and code words hoping the OP understands. Often times we do PM them, but many times if they are new users, they can not get private messages. It can be a very difficult task at times.

Yes, that is exactly what I just said, only I used abbreviations, and less detail, because of the concerns you mention, I didn't quite spell it all out like you did, so perhaps you didn't understand ?

If you would like to help us out there, feel free by all means.Trying to answer all of their questions is very hard having to do it on the authenticity thread, without revealing too much info.. It's a catch 22 situation! Very difficult indeed.

Hey myluvofbags, I saw the Black version of this Quilted Miranda today at the MK boutique.
The leather is beautiful and it's so thick which I love. It feels wonderful when I carried it
You are so lucky to find it in Carnation for such a great price.I am still admiring the first photo that you put up......
Lots of detailed info was provided in other posts on this thread, as well. Others who are responding to your questions don't oftentimes know they are for authentication purposes (especially if not in the authentication thread), so they don't know to be vague in their answers. Even pictures of tags and bag linings can help counterfeiters. That's why I didn't post pictures of my tags. And counterfeiters don't just read the authentication threads to get intelligence on bags. In fact, they would probably go to specific bag threads for the most detailed information. I know I would. But I understand the problem. Thanks for doing such a thankless job for everyone on TPF.
P.S. I have used the LV authentication thread a few times and know that they do not provide many details to buyers why the bag was judged authentic or not. They specifically tell buyers that providing those details will help counterfeiters. You may want to think about doing that.

^^I've explored the Longchamp authentication thread a few times, and i noticed that they also do not give specific details on why certain ebay listings or pics were deemed fake, I think also so as not to give the counterfeiters intelligence on bags.
Anyone can google certain terms they are looking for and this thread would pop up so it isn't as safe as one may think. Just my two cents. I have googled things in the past and threads from the forum popped up. That is how I found the forum to begin with years ago.
