Too many people still don't know about this purse forum I brag about it on my facebook and even refer people here from my ebay listings. I hope you all will brag about it more so we can help these ladies to quit getting ripped off! Put it out there anywhere you can! From just my promoting , we have received dozens maybe even a hundred new members. Think how many more we'd get if all of us are doing this!

Hi there I ve won this michael kors cynthia small lovely purse but I have noticed that the seller is from china but his bags looks so authentic . Please can you help me . Fake or authentic? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-AUTH-MI...900?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item339f7c0f9c
Please direct your request to the Authenticate This Michael Kors thread with the required link & pictures so it can be evaluated. Thank you.
Yes! And do you know what? You ladies know more about MK bags than the ladies working at high end stores/MK stores here. Still suprised about the lack of knowledge when it comes to even basic information. I'm wondering if it's more important for the owner to have size zero blonds behind the counter rather than making sure they really know their brands and understand the importance of good customerservice. So glad I have you guys!
Thank you Norgy! What you say is quite true. I get so irritated when someone says a sales rep told them their bag was fake. Sales reps are not trained to authenticate bags. Their job is to sell them. Usually the only bags they know anything about are the bags that are there in the store. As far as vintage bags or ANYTHING, before they started their job, they have no clue. That is why this purse forum is so priceless. We have many members here like myself, that have been collecting them for decades.
Some of the ladies on the Coach forum have catalogs dating back to the 60s! I too am trying get a MK collection of catalogs going and have contacted Michael Kors to see if I can get back issues from over the years. I think they will come in handy. Thanks again, Norwegiangirl.
Thank you, Norwegian Girl. We do try to keep up. LOL I do know what you mean about lack of rudimentary knowledge at the retail stores/MK stores. I've asked SA's questions & all I would get was that DITHL (Deer In The Headlights Look) Look. Most are just there to ring up a sale & could care less about the product.
I passionately love these bags so much if a MK store opens in my town I'll be the first in line with my resume. I think the only reason they get away with having staff that know nothing about the product is because the product basically sells itself. Let's be honest do you see sales associates talking people into bags and selling them at your MK store?
I recently spoke to a woman over the phone in a major department store and she did not what Michael Kors even WAS. I might as well had been inquiring about bbq grills. She was clueless and she works in the accesories dept. As a manager you would think you would have SOME knowledge about the products your store carries. Don't bother asking them questions, you will just frustrate yourself. I have learned to just get off my butt and drive to the store if my usual SA is not there or available. MK boutique SA's are just as clueless and they sell that stuff exclusively ALL DAY LONG. Rediculous. People should know their sh#t IMO, doesn't matter what your selling. Appliance people are idiots too. Sorry have not had my coffee yet.....
OMG!!!
:lolots::lolots: That's so funny! But true. Most SA in stores are only in it for the commission. They don't care what you buy as long as they get the sale. And you're right...it's not just with purses either!
No! I wish I did! I wish there was someone that actually cares about these beautiful purses. I mean, the SA at my Macy's is a complete grouch and the ones at the outlets only care about looking dresses up. I cannot deal. Online shopping can suck just as much. It's like uuuugghh just give me what I payed for! Haha
I agree with all of you. The sales reps know nothing. But basically their job is to just ring it up! So many foolish women take bags there that they bought online, and try to get them authenticated by these sales reps! These sales are not authenticators! They know diddly squat and will usually tell you if you did not the bag from Michal Kors directly, it is probably a fake! Many of them have never seen a vintage before, and are absolutely clueless.
This makes really hard to sell one of your older bags on ebay or another site because of these sales reps and buyers who are clueless! Then the buyer turns around and accuses you of selling them a fake, because sales rep never saw it before! This so irritating! I have had to tell I don't how many buyers that these sales reps are not authenticators!! I con't believe people don't this in this day and age.
Just to pay devils advocate here... I made more working as a restaurant shift manager than MK store employees... Average pay is about 11$ an hour.
At that rate of pay, the employees working there are in college and the hiring process likely functions like a rotating door. It is hard to maintain the amount of training for such a transient set of employees and in all likelihood, training likely focuses on current available merchandise as it would seem to be the most efficient in maintaining store operations.That is the downside of mass merchandising.
The sales associates are there to ring me up and check me out. I am okay with that. I usually know what I want when I walk in the door.
