Michael Kors Report This Michael Kors

[angel4Love]

What tells you this bag is fake? It has an official MK lining on.it, and looks identical to all the others listed by top rated sellers. Please point out where this bag is incorrect. It has the correct zipper and hardware, plus the leather is the correct grain of saffiano leather. It even has a correct MK bag with it that comes from all Michael Kors stores. I don't see anything wrong with it. Please tell me what is wrong. so I can notice this in the future. Thank you.

That's the scary part, it looks so real but it's not. The middle compartment's zipper SHOULD NOT be a metal hardware but rather a leather pull. Inside should have 6 credit card slots, the chain is thicker on the original, the sides should be stitched and not glued ( I have comparison shots of these saved in my work comp that i can show you). I own 2 of this particular style so I guess that's how I know . I've attached some pics of the zipper and cc slots for reference but for the life of me I could not figure out why it's uploading sideways. Sorry bout that.

I also know couple of people who owns this style. Hope this helps so you can keep on helping others by spreading the knowledge and reporting the fake ones.

Michael Kors bags do have variances on MANY of their designs There is the MK Gansevoort tote, for example, and and many of them have 3 outer pockets, one on each side and one on the back, and will also have an inside key leash clip. Then there is another one that has NO outer back pocket and NO inside key leash clip. Some of them are made with more or less features and quality, in order that they can send some of them to outlet stores, so ladies that can't pay full price can still have the same style of bag.This is what was done with the Gansevoort. There was a boutique bag and then there was an outlet bag. This could also be why her bag is more expensive. Her bag may very well be a boutique model. There are differences in the price between bags made for the boutiques and bags made for the outlets. Also, there is nothing in her listing that shows or states how many card slots it has??

This could very well explain the differences on these Sloans.. That bag looks totally authentic. Even though it has the metal zipper pull, that IS an official zipper pull that belongs to MK. Also, it can depend on what country the bag was made in and the year, whether it is glued or stitched.

There is no rule that says each bag has to be identical, and if we authenticated bags using this theory, we would be calling many authentic bags fake, Please don't expect every bag to be made just like yours. I hope you didn't report that bag, because I am quite certain it is authentic and see many others just like it with the engraved metal zipper pull, being sold.by top rated sellers that are not known for selling fakes. I am not reporting it.

Before you report bags on ebay, you should take it over to our authenticity thread and make sure it is fake. Reporting like this hurts sellers, especially if their bag is authentic and causes them much grief for no reason. I noticed ebay has not removed it. There's a reason for that. I hope they don't remove it because of an invalid report. I feel sorry for sellers on ebay that have to deal with this every day! I see people reporting bags with contrast stitching just because they THINK MK doesn't use contrast stitching. I see people reporting bags because the signature design is on the outside and the inside! MK has many bag designs with the signature on both sides. Too much assuming going on with not enough research and facts. I really feel sorry for these sellers!

I respect your opinion but we can agree to disagree. I expect buyers to do their research before buying anything online, therefore, no I did not report it. I have my reasons why I concluded it's not real.

I am glad you didn't report it , especially for the reasons you stated. I assumed you gave us of all the reasons, apparently not. If you have other reasons, please share. We certainly don't want a buyer to get stuck with a fake , if you can show the bag is fake for other reasons , other than some slight variations, then please do so we can save someone from getting stuck with a fake. We can't report it until we know for sure with valid proof and reasons, and if you didn't want anyone to report it, than why did you post it here? It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. It is a matter of facts.

Here are two MK Gansevoort bags. The silver one has a pocket on the back
and the brown one doesn't

The silver one has a leather key leash clip, and the brown one doesn't.

Does that mean the brown bag must be fake???.I know they're not because I bought the silver one at the boutique and the brown one at the outlet store, myself. In the next post, I will show you their heat stamps and date code tags that are in each bag and prove both bags are authentic. Even though it is the exact same bag style, one is a boutique bag, and the other is an outlet bag.

I believe this to be the same case with small variations between the 2 sloan bags.

 

[CinthiaZ]

Here are the heat stamps / labels and the made in country tags for both the silver and the Gansevoort bags. Do yoo think the silver one is fake because it has an extra pocket and the brown one doesn't?? Or visa versa? I assure you that both bags are authentic as I purchased them myself. I paid MUCH more for the silver one because I got it at the MK boutique. Also note they are made in two different countries.

I bought the brown one at the MK outlet store for half off. However, the bags have different features and that is the differences between the boutique and the outlet bags. These are the only kinds of same differences you are pointing out. Please show us ANY other reason the bag is fake because these differences can and DO happen on these bags. You can judge authenticity based on features,

I don't wanna sound crazy nor know how to justify my "gut" feeling that the listing is fake. I mean, if you own a particular designer bag in a very particular style, you will know. But then again, that's just me and though i do understand how some style are being sold "outlet" style, there has to be a point of comparison somehow between the boutique style and the outlet. Like the Hamilton, boutique has the lock, outlet version has a plate. Not sure for the outlet version of the Sloan until I found a thread that hopefully help us determine. Please see the message from member cgj. Comparing a boutique Sloan vs. Outlet Sloan. What I am not certain is, if these differences only applies to Phyton-Embossed Sloan or the style in general.

You can not go by a 'gut felling'. You have to have and show, proof and facts. This is too important because selling fakes is illegal and a person can go to jail for it! You have to have absolute proof. You do not have that. You are asking people to report a bag you THINK is fake, with no valid reason or proof to show the bag is fake. We are happy to report a counterfeit bag because we HATE them,and we do it it all the time, but we only do it for obvious reasons. There is nothing obvious here

There is a way we could validate if it is authentic or not. First let me ask you, does your bag have a made in country tag with a date code on it? Some of the smaller bags don't have them, but I believe this is large enough where it probably does. I am goinf to email the seller and ask her if she can post or send me the made in country tag with the date code on it. Then I will post the pic here.. If your bag has one and hers doesn't , THAT is how we can verify authenticity.. Otherwise, everything we have seen so for, is authentic materials used by Michael Kors. I will email her now and let's see what she says or if she has this tag. I am taking the time to do this even though I am fairly certain the bag is authentic, but I want to put your mind to rest . Will get back to you with the pic . Do you have this tag on your bags?? Also, that coversation in that thread really doesn't apply here. That is a completely different bag plus she is comparing two different styles of sloans to each other which is ridiculous. The only thing consistent about designer bags, is they not consistent! lol!

I really like that Sloan and understand it's rare "limited edition" type of bag. It's hard to find and appartently most that are listed are fake. Obviously I'm not an authenticatior but I do hope to find this bag and feel 100% confident it's genuine. The difference I do see between angel4love's pics and the eBay listing is both angel's slogans have 2 zippers inside with credit card slots and heat stamp where as the eBay listing doesn't seem to have the heat stamp, credit card slot and extra zipper. (See 3rd last picture)

I don't really know about outlets but I thought outlet linings and boutique lining are different? But the eBay listing has boutique lining.

If there really is 2 different types of this bag, I personally would prefer to buy the one with credit card slots!

 

[CinthiaZ]

Please report this one too. Not only that the price is much higher than the retail, it's also fake.[/QUOTE]

You didn't report it but you told us to report it???

The seller doesn't show enough close up pics to see if the heat stamp is there. I emailed her and request a pic of both the heat stamp and the date code tag with the country made in on it. The lining, the zipper and everything else are Michael kors materials. If that is fake, it is the best one I've ever seen and us authenticators here have seen HUNDREDS of fakes. . We will know more once the seller replies with these pics. With this bag, that is the only way we can tell. The point here is, angel asked us to report it. We never ever never report a listing unless we have absolute proof. It's not fair to the seller who may very well have an authentic bag. She could lose her ebay account for it. You just don't go around reporting listings without absolute proof.

As far as the credit card slots, she never states how many there are or not and does not show enough pics. And no, the outlets use the same linings as the boutiques. All this 'speculation and rumors are just getting out of hand.

Here are 2 Ganesvoort bags linings. I bought the silver one at the boutique and I bought the brown one at the outlet. Check out the linings please.Just because it happened that way to one person with her purchases, doesn't mean it is absolutely that way all the time for every bag!

I don't know if it's real or not but from the same seller which sold is another Sloan studded purse which clearly doesn't have a stamp or slots. It has a tag but I can't clearly read it. The seller is clearly a brand new seller. I wonder what the outcome will be lol.

I think that's definitely a fake because the MK tag says Fulton Raspberry... But the bag is a Sloan.. and the colour is clearly not raspberry. Is that a red flag???? Going through her feedback I see she sold the same bag twice, one recently as well but this light pink one sold for $365?? I don't like how in this pic the pocket folds out so much! I feel like authentic MK saffron leather wouldn't do this.

What a shame I really want to purchase this design but this throws me off!

 

[Sierraxoxo]

The seller admitted it was fake in the description and is still trying to sell it for $89.
