Michael Kors Report This Michael Kors

[CinthiaZ]

I too see a lot of fakes where I live (UK), horribly obvious fakes I might add. Cheap plastic that bends in the middle of the bag. They are normally horrid colours too, sickly cheap looking pink colours young girls carry. Puts me off buying any more MK, I know mine are real (bought from the flagship store in Firenze, Italy and HoF in London), but when everyone else is carrying fakes I feel everyone is looking at mine and thinking the same about me

Do you think MK is the only designer that is faked? ALL of the designers, Coach, Gucci, LV, ALL of them, are counterfeited! So it doesn't matter what designer you carry, all of them are faked! I buy designer bags because of the quality I demand. I like my zippers to slide smoothly. I don't want my strap to break while I am in the check out line. I could care less what others are carrying or what others THINK I am carrying. As long as I know I have a quality bag that will last for decades, I am happy. That is all I care about. If others want to carry cheap fakes that fall apart in less than a year, that's their problem! I would NEVER give up my quality because of what others are carrying! Who cares?? lol! If one is carrying a designer bag simply because of what people think, they are not buying them for the right reason. They should be appreciated for their quality. Heck !f I was just trying to have a brand on me to impress everyone, I might as well buy a fake! lol!

No there's plenty of fake LV fakes too (I don't think Coach is that big of a thing in the UK). It's just a comment relevant to where I live, a small town where there are a LOT of fake MK bags in particular over any other brand (and I am posting in the MK thread I believe).

Of corse I like to know mine is real, that's why I spent the money and decided on a leather bag over the LV canvas I was planning to buy.

I love that my bag has a story- I bought her while on holiday in Florence with my boyfriend, I was going to get a Speedy 35 as the boutique was on the doorstep of hotel. But the MK shop had just opened up on Piazza Della Republica and they had the large Navy Selma with GHW that I just fell in love with (I liked the cross body strap it came with, easier to carry while on holiday than a speedy [emoji57]). The first day I carried her we took the train to Milan, visited the Duomo and climbed to the rooftop, we went to see the Last Supper and had dinner at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

My bag has meaning and is real. I know that. But the people in my town don't care if they walk down the street with a cigarette in their hand, they don't look where they are going or where the cigarette is and they bump into you (and your bag. I get the feeling it's because there are so many fake MK around in my hometown which is sad). In Italy they take care of a ladies handbag!

I was considering branching out into brands that aren't so popular where I live, the next bag on my list is the medium Givenchy Antigona as I have never seen someone carry this bag in my town and its a bag I love. I don't know about anyone else but I don't like to "fit in" and wear the same clothes everyone else is, carry the same bag as all my friends. I like to have my own style and be a little different, another reason I was upset by all the fakes as they all seem to Selmas.

I went to a music festival over the holiday weekend and of course ventured into the jewelry booths. What do I see?? FAKE MICHAEL KORS EVERYWHERE!!!! Wallets, bags, shoes-weird color combos, styles MK never ever produced. There I was standing with my REAL quilted selma dangling from my wrist with my mouth hanging open! It was truly unbelievable. I'm not talking about bags with a similar shape and no name, ALL that crap had michael kors stamped on it. It was in every booth.

I own a Givenchy Antigona here!! What I really don't get here is that why are people buying MK fakes. MK isn't a high end luxury brand and I feel like it's definitely affordable in the designer brand area. I feel like anyone can afford a Selma if they really wanted to. I also agree that they have fakes for everything. They even have super fakes of Hermes birkins that cost up to $1000 and even Hermes SA can't really tell. It's scary!

Anyway, moving on the the Antigona it is a great bag and it is definitely a lot better quality than MK Selma (mine was pushed in a lot and it left dent on the leather). I suggest you getting a smooth leather version because it is very durable

Hi! I'm new here.

I have been checking the forum for examples of fake selma bag and all of them looks quite clearly fake to me. Have you ever seen one that looks completely real but is actually a fake?

I purchased one from an online seller that is supposed to be trusted. It looks really good, I can't see the difference when compared to the ones in the stores.

The leather looks good, lining looks correct, all the hardware has michael kors stamped on it. All in all, it looks perfect! However, 1 year later I was shocked to noticed that the the letter S in the front logo have fade from gold to silver. I barely ever use the bag and kept it in the dustbag all these times. Has anyone ever experience this?



Appreciate your feedback!

I am not sure if there are any super fake MK being sold. I personally think super fakes of MK won't be in demand (and maybe isn't produced?) because MK is a lower end brand anyways. I think super fakes cost within the hundred dollar range, so basically the same price as authentic MKs.

I am not sure about how the MK distribution works but again, since it is a lower end brand there are different outlets and possibly a lot more distributors for MK than say Valentino or Givenchy. I've owned an MK Selma and I do notice the gold hardware turning silver.

It's actually the case with nearly all bags (even Chanel's). They are plated and will eventually rub off over time so don't worry! And again, MK doesn't make the best quality bags out there so you should expect little imperfections like these. My last Selma had quite obvious leather creases and folds and the hardware colour wore off.

Fake or not, Selmas are everywhere! The Selma is the most popular MK bag besides the Hamilton. I see them everywhere I go and that's exactly why I don't have one. You hit the hammer right on the head! I too don't want to be wearing what everyone else is wearing. I have one of the most unusual collections on this forum. I was afraid to show it to anyone , but they demanded it, so I did! lol! All the ladies were very polite, but I know they were like HUH?? lol! My collection is nothing like everyone else's, If you look at the "Post your MK Collection Here" thread you will see that all of the collections posted, are mostly Selmas in different colors, Hamiltons and Suttons, along with a few Cynthia bags. Regardless , all of them are the Saffiano bags. Here lately more are buying the soft leather bags which I am happy to see. I get more excited and interested, when I get to see something different.

You will never be different wearing the Selma, so your idea about the Givenchy Antigona is a good one, if you want to keep your own look. I don't envy you living in a small town. I own a home in a small town but don't live there. I am renting it out, but I did live there at one time and talk about a soap opera! lol! Don't miss it at all. I can relate to what you are going through.

Excuse me? I beg the differ, MK is the most highly faked bag these days because it is the most popular high end designer. Also, MK does not just range in the 100 dollar price range and is no way a lower end designer. He was even on the Red Carpet for the Grammy awards for the past five years. Check out our Movie Star thread. Stars such as Jessica Simpson and Catherine Zeta Jones are wearing Michael Kors bags AND clothing! ! Have you ever looked at the MK website?? Some of their bags are 20,000.00!! You can get a small bag on sale, for 150.00, but they originally retailed for 400.00 on up. Michael Kors has TWO collections, and his luxury line runs 1000.00 on up! That is lower end?? Many are made of real python and crocodile. . Please look thru the back pages of this thread to see the hundreds of fake MKs we have been reporting! I WISH you were right about there being no fake MKs. I have been working my butt off reporting hundreds of the God awful MK fakes! They are hideous! There are even counterfeit MK websites we have reported. My gosh! Fake MKs are everywhere! You might want to do more research because Michael Kors is most definitely a high end designer. Just look back through the pages of this thread and you will see how many fakes we have worked very hard to report and get taken off of the internet

What is happening is bags like the Selma are so popular and in such high demand, MK can't keep up with production to meet the demand, so they are letting many of their most popular bags such as the Selma, Jet Set, etc., get past quality contro, l so the quality is being given up to meet the quantity that is in such high demand. Their other bags such as their regular leather bags and the bags from their luxury line are better made. It's the old "you get what you pay for" situation. You CAN buy much beetter quality from MK if you spend more money. Same goes with many designers,.

Check out this Michael Kors bag on ebay for $2,995.00! There are hundreds more. You might want to take a second look. Michael Kors in no lower end designer. He has some incredible luxury bags. Don't miss out!

We actually have a whole thread about this problem with MK and their gold wearing off. It is quite commn actually. MK doesn't use real brass like designers did in the old days. The gold is just a sprayed finish and will come off eventually. This is not an indication your bag is fake. If you are worried though, it would be good to have it authenticated. For a small fee, you will have peace of mind.

I didn't know about the thread you're referring to, I would definitely check it out, thanks!
Such a shame that they are so easily come off, I have a much cheaper department store bag that lasts longer.

I understand what you mean about the super fakes of Selma. While there are MK bags that worth thousands of dollars, selma is quite affordable and buying a super fake selma is just beyond my understanding! lol.

Anyway thanks for sharing your experience with your selma, good to hear mine isn't necessarily a fake.

Counterfeiters don't produce based on what is the most expensive. Did you know there are counterfeit LEVI jeans?? They go by what is most popular. Price has nothing to do with it. They counterfeit according to what is popular and in demand that they know they can make money off of. Us authenticators have seen several MK super fakes of even the Jet Set, which is cheaper than the Selma. In fact the Jet Set is the most highly faked MK that we see and they are really hard to tell and quite challenging for us. Scary!

You are right, I guess it is no longer about the price and exclusivity of the brand.
I have seen lots of super high end brand counterfeits that is so so so close to the original, but I've never seen MK's selma/jetset counterfeits that are very good. I didn't think those counterfeiters would give big enough effort on bags that are on the cheaper side. I guess I was wrong! Thanks for the info. Man, there are so much to learn from this forum!

Sorry, what I meant was the Michael Michael Kors range, not the higher end MK range. The higher end MK range isn't very well known IMO. If people mention MK bags most people automatically associate Selmas or Hamiltons, not the higher end brand. Sometimes I feel like MK should rename their higher end collections to avoid this.

 

[CrazyDogLady]

There are so many.

 

[poorhusband]

I think Michael Kors is the most faked bag in Australia. Every market, shopping centre, etc has at least one store that sells these bags. They will put an MK logo on any old bag and the bags are so obviously fake. Still, they are being snapped up by the trolley load. They sell for about $50 and wallets for $20.
