I am very well aware that MK bags come at different price points. My point is that the entry level bag is at a more attainable price point.

Also, I'm not sure why you keep mentioning that 8k Miranda. It's 8k because it's Python. The regular leather Miranda is about $1k. Link below.

I never said fakes didn't exist either. I said they would be less likely. Maybe they are more likely in the area you describe and that makes complete sense, but I live in NJ and I'm driving distance to about different 5 different outlet malls, so it's very easy to get a discounted MK bag. Or just run to
TJ Maxx.

I live in the Chicago suburbs where there are lots of places to buy authentic MK. However, it is definitely the most faked bag in my area. Whichever designer is hot will be the most faked. It doesn't matter what the price points are. A few years ago, it was LV. Now, I rarely see a real or fake LV.......

You know what is weird too? I had a conversation with a lady at Michael Kors, and she told me there is actually a whole line of Michael Kors that isn't even available to the general public, that is only for the very 'elite' and the general public doesn't even get to see them! She said they were 10,000.00 and up. I just used that Python Miranda as an example of how spendy some of their designs really are. The Celine bag is quite spendy as well. Their price ranges go from 150.00 for a wallet, all the way up to 8000.00. Their ever popular Hamilton is only 358.00 and it is one of their worst bags that is counterfeited the most, because of it's popularity.

As I stated in another post, MK is about in the same price bracket as Coach, maybe even a little bit higher, and we all know that Coach is one of most highly counterfeited bags. So price isn't always a factor on what they will counterfeit. Often it is based on popularity and demand,

I understand what you mean by 'less likely', but unfortunately, MK is highly faked. I see them way too often. They all over the internet. There are counterfeit online outlets and there are so many on eBay, it's awful! I see them all the time and post them in the authenticate this forum, and we all are horrified over there. We have taken quite a few down. I guess if you had seen all the fakes we are finding, every day, you would have a better idea, just how bad the problem is. So beware, because there are a LOT of them. I see poor ladies getting ripped off all the time and paying hundreds of dollars for fake bags.

Look at these hideous fakes. The two bigger bags are knock offs of the MK Celine bag. eBay just took them down, fortunately, but she still has these hideous wallets listed as well. We see them all the time on the 'authenticate this' thread and we have taken down quite a few. We also have many ladies asking about bags they want to authenticate and half of them are all fakes!

Check this out. This a whole website full of all fake Michael Kors. I can get the Miranda on here for only 74.00! lol! Just want you to see how bad it really is. These bags are being bought and relisted on eBay and everywhere. So yes, Michael Kors is highly faked. This is just one website out of many. They have the nerve to claim they are an actual MK website. Scary.

Yes, I totally agree. It is a matter of supply and demand. If there is a demand for it, there will always be suppliers. Even Levis jeans are counterfeited and they are only 50 dollars a pair. All the counterfeiters want is to steal the name,to put on their poor quality goods and sell them. I agree. The price is not the main factor. It is the popularity / demand.

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! .

thanks a lot for the reply :smile1: so far i hv nvr seen original MK bags without model number tag/label inside bag. so i'd like to know, how older bags without a model number tab? is it possible for a Hamilton Large NS Tote not to hv a model number tab inside the bag (eg. 30T2SHMT3L) ?

Yes, it is possible. Many , actually MOST of the older models don't have the model number tabs on them. They will just have the 'made in country with date code' tab and that is it. Some of the vintage bags don't even have a date code, they will just have the 'made in country' tab only. Helps to give you an idea of the age of the bags. I have never seen a Hamilton without a 'made in/ date code' tab. I don't think they go far enough back to not have at least, a date code on them.

Off topic- but I was picking up a tjmaxx/marshalls gift card for my mom last night and some woman proceeds to show me a pic of purse she bought for daughter, I assumed it was a kors because she was admiring my quilted selma. No...it was the worst knockoff LV I have EVER seen. She said she paid 2,500 dollars for it. My 22 yr old daughter just walked away shaking her head. I don't know what style it was even supposed to be, sorta like a delightful but NOT. I own 3 authentic neverfulls and luckily I was not carrying any of them because if this woman got ripped off I did not want her to know it by looking at my bag. This was a straight up flea market bag and I hope she's lying about the 2,500 she paid. Her car was on its last leg. Money would have been better spent on a transmission.

Oh well, someone just bought it. They will probably be here in a week or so , asking us to authenticate it, or maybe they just don't care. If people only knew who they were supporting when they buy counterfeit bags, I don't think they would purchase them.

Just curious why you didn't want to tell her? Maybe should could have gotten her money back. I guess I do understand though. She probably wouldn't have listened anyway. I have a bad habit of blurting out the truth all the time, and it really does cause me head aches! lol! I wish I could stop it. Working on it.
