The' Made in country' tab comes in white, clear and I have seen tinted brown and black. The older bags don't have a date code on them, just the country made in. If you are looking at a bag you want to purchase, you can post it in the 'authenticate this Michael Kors' thread and the ladies there can help you. There is much more to it than just that tab. The counterfeiters do put the tabs in the bags now, so much more is needed to evaluate a bag. Just post any link or photos you have, and they can help, until you become more familiar what to look for . After a while, you will get better, but this forum is a great place to start! .hi all, im a newbie herei registered here just to learn more about MK bags..
i hv a question.. all MK bags have clear label (inside the bag) with model code written on it? i hv some hamilton & kempton tote with clear & white label inside the bag. but i saw some bags posted here without the clear label. then how we check which or what style of a bag without the label (and no price tag)? appreciate your reply.. thanks

Fake bag?? The whole website is selling fakes! Have to report it to Michael Kors themselves so they can have their attorneys take it down! Doing it now. I may have reported it already. I have reported quite a few fake online MK 'outlets' lol! I shouldn't laugh, it is actually quite sad.
So you think a Michael Kors Miranda bag for $8000.00 is cheap?? lol! Wish I had your money, I'd throw mine away! lol!
Here is a link to the Miranda. There are other designs that cost even more! Ladies like Angelita Jolie wear them. You really need to educate yourself. These bags are highly faked and even Coach is copying Michael Kors designs because they so beautiful and popular. You have no clue what you are talking about! Yes, every designer has outlets and cheaper bags for ladies who can't afford the more expensive ones. That doesn't mean they are ALL cheap! Did you ever look at the MK website?? Maybe you were on a fake website and didn't know ! lo!

Wow! The nerve! Sorry that happened to you. I have had it happen as well. So frustrating. Is our own fault, we need to start putting our names on our pics. What do they call that again?? Is the only way to stop it.
***************** dot com does professional authentications on Michael Kors bags, and they are accepted by PayPal and eBay, s they may be accepted by others as well. You have to pay them a fee. Just google it and you will find it. Send them an email first to find out if your card company accepts them as validators. Good Luck!Yes, they are fake MK bags and very well made ones! I accidentally bought a fake Selma Messenger in Neon Pink. I was so convinced it was real, every details in the pictures look good, the seller even sent me a picture of the receipt. Until I compared it in person with my 2 other Selmas, I realized it was a fake. I'm working with my bank for a chargeback now since PayPal requires me a written authentication letter but no one authenticates MK in Australia and Michael Kors can't help me with that either. It's been a very frustrating time for me!
I totally agree with you. However, to the credit of Michael Kors, he really does have some of his own fabulous designs. Not all of them are copied. The Astor studded bags are awesome. I love his Woodside series with the braided leather straps. He really does have his great designs as well. I especially love how he uses decorative zippers, like on the Naomi bags. He actually has quite a few beautiful designs of his own. Plus not all MK bags are inexpensive. That Miranda for 8000.00 is a bit spendy, if you ask me! lol! So yes, they most certainly are faked, too often in fact. Is scary!

Is this not GORGEOUS?? Call me a hippie! lol! But I just love this Michael Kors Fringe VIenna bag and I don't think you will ever see Louis or Hermes , making one like this! Look at that braided strap and the chains! Those are the kinds of things that are unique to Michael Kors.He surely has his own unique designs and I am hooked!

I think most MK fakes would replicate bags at the higher price points like the Miranda. Fakes exist, but not to the same extent as other premier brands.
It wouldn't make sense to produce fakes of bags that are less than $300-$500 and market it - when people can buy the real thing on sale or at an outlet/discount store. I love my MK bags, but let's be real - it's not a Chanel. There's more of a market for fake Chanels because even an entry level bag is at a very unattainable price point.
The regular leather MK Miranda is $1k, which is still attainable to a certain extent, and it goes on sale. And the small Miranda is only about $700/$800? Compare that to the "cheapest" Chanel? $2900 GST or Mini Flap and good luck getting that on sale!

You would be quite surprised, where I live (in Canada) Where Michael kors stores are a lot less accessable to everyone, fakes are very very prominent. I work near a market so the customers that come in are bargain people, they are constantly carrying these disgusting knock off MK bags, I've seen fake Hamiltons weird fake cross body bags with such obviously plastic fake Mk logos glued on the front and these people think that it looks like the real thing or probably think it is te real thing!!!! I live in a place where I like to say most people can't tell Gucci from guess. It is sad. Basically if you see someone with an LV or Prada it is most likely fake. I almost died the first time I went into holt renfrew
I must add the people buying these fakes are probably spending $100, they are the kind of people who wouldn't drive an hour to get a real bag and the closest MK store is only 50 mins away.Actually Michael Kors has quite a few designs that are well over 2500.00, just like Chanel bags. That Fringe bag I put up was originally 600.00. They have many very expensive designs and are faked all the time. Here is a couple listed I need help reporting right now as we speak! She has two knock offs of the MK Celine bag which retails generally around 3000.00!! They have of wide range of prices to accommodate everyone, but most certainly do have some beautiful and VERY expensive designs. Please help me report these really bad fakes! Let's help some poor unsuspecting buyer from getting ripped off! Thank you.

You can buy authentic Michael Kors online as well, so distance is really no excuse for wearing fakes. If only these women knew where their money is going, when they pay for knock offs. It goes to criminal drug cartels and even terrorists! And the worst part, is that they use child slave labor, to make the bags. The poor children are beaten and starved. It's just awful. so I don't know how anyone can brag about, or wear a fake bag. I am sure they wouldn't be so proud if they knew who they were supporting.You would be quite surprised, where I live (in Canada) Where Michael kors stores are a lot less accessable to everyone, fakes are very very prominent.

That is why ladies like us need to educate the public. Too many are still unaware just what a terrible black market, criminal business this really is! People need to become educated consumers and we can help spread the word! You could maybe print an article off of the internet and hand it to the ladies you see that are buying fakes, so they can read about it?? Here is a good one to pass around. Please hare it on your facebook page, if you have one? I can't believe in this day and age, that so many people still don't know!

I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to sound condescending and I guess I did, so I apologize. I really didn't mean to sound that way. I just meant that you apparently aren't aware, because of what you said, of just how expensive some Michael Kors bags really are, and that 'further investigation' would 'allow you to see' ( I used the word educate instead! lol! Sorry) I really really didn't mean anything by it. It was just for lack of a better word, is all.
There really are so many beautiful MK designs that are priced WAY out of my league. I have to wait for sales or, coupons. So when folks say that they are not expensive, I scratch my head, because some of the MK bags I have my eye on are in the thousands! lol! I wish they were cheaper! Again, I really didn't mean anything , so please don't take offense.Sometimes I really am a snippy little #$#&*#! lol! And shouldn't have said 'you have no idea', either. Sometimes folks make statements that really surprise me, and I am too blunt and I need to work on that. I really didn't want to hurt your feelings or insult your intelligence. Just wanted you to do a little more research, is all and I just chose the wrong wording. However, you are not the only one. There are quite a few stating that Michael Kors are so cheap, so why would anyone counterfeit them?? I WISH so cheap! lol! Michael Kors is basically in the same price bracket as Coach, and we all know how highly counterfeited Coach is. Coach is one of the most highly counterfeited brands, What they will do, is duplicate a 300 dollar bag and sell them for 75.00. So price isn't always a factor on what the counterfeitors will produce. It is often based on popularity and demand.
You would not believe how many bad Michael Kors fakes are on ebay and there are even quite a few counterfeit 'MK online outlets' and they really are disgusting. People are buying them and listing them on eBay all the time. I feel sorry for all the poor ladies getting ripped off. You have a great day and if you see a Celine bag for less than 2000.00, please let me know! lol! Thanks!
