I just got a Selma and the paper on the handles and strap is like a waxed tissue paper. There was some kind of spongy plastic type material to prevent the hardware on the two handles from rubbing against the saffiano leather. I appreciate the fact that they try to keep the bags looking nice until I get them.

Not necessarily. There are many fake websites that look just like the MK website, that claim they are outlet stores. Many of these sellers buy them to resell, having no idea they are fakes! The real criminals here are the ones setting up these fake online outlets deceiving people into thinking their bags are real.and are coming directly from Michael Kors. The people that buy them are often ignorant to the fact of all these fake websites. Here is a perfect example of one. http://www.michaelkors-special.com/
These are what we need to get removed! We report them to Michael Kors themselves who has their attorneys take them down.
Hello, you are responding to an old post from 2013! lol! . Back then MK used tissue paper to wrap the handles. That has changed since then.and they now come in various ways, depending who packaged it and what store. Since you are new, I suggest checking the dates of posts you are reading and responding to, so you don't bring up old posts from years ago. I did the same thing when I first joined! lol! Just a friendly tip. Welcome to the TPF! Please show pics of your bags!
Wow they are having a joke right! That is obviously fake and the dollars they are asking! Someone will get burnt on that. We really need to try and publicise this thread to get loads of us reporting the clear fakes that seem to be swarming around a lot at the moment.
WHile having many of us reporting is good, publicizing this thread is not necessarily the best venue. Many people THINK perfectly good bags are fake. I personally would rather have quality people who KNOW what they are reporting. We wouldn't want to hurt perfectly good sellers . We must be absolutely certain before we report anything. That is why this thread is good so we can discuss, and be sure. But that is no doubt FAKE and I will report before she relists. Thank God no one bought it yet!

Oh okay, I just thought that if clear fakes were identified it would help get them off the market. I did say to someone earlier that some are really obvious and some are so good it is difficult to tell. I only ever report the ones I am 100 per cent certain on, or ones you list as fake, as you are our resident expert in the field, so I know they are.
Thank you. I was burned once, and I wouldn't want it to happen to another person. I only report obvious fakes especially at this price. Some even claimed that they went to the mk store and they said it was authentic. I read that mk sa are not allowed to say anything about the authenticity.
You are right! Sales reps are NOT authenticators and they are told not to do so, but many of them do it anyway because they want to sell you a bag from them. What they are told to say, is if you didn't get the bag from them, it is probably a fake. What they are not considering is the huge resale market of preowned designer bags, that were purchased from them in the first place! I am so glad more of you are coming here to help report. At one time it was only 3 of us. We have taken down hundreds of fakes and we have even removed some fake websites, which is where most are getting these fakes to sell! If you ever see a fake website, you report that directly to Michael Kors through their 'contact us' link.
Thank you Cinthia. I had a really bad experience when I bought my first Mk bag. The seller was so mean and nasty to me saying I was the stupid one who bought it. I got some money back. Since then, I've learn so much from everyone here on the forum. Thanks again.
I hate sellers like that! Sorry you had to go through that! But on the upside it has made you more aware and it is good you are helping others now. Some good comes out of every bad experience and is how we learn. Yes this forum is awesome and I have learned so much here too.. The ladies here are great and always so helpful.

I tried approaching this seller as they have 100 per cent feedback to ask as the bag was a gift if they were aware it was counterfiet and obviously selling it on ebay wasn't allowed.
They asked me if I was "shore" lol as their husband had purchased it as a gift and they had lost the receipt!
I responded that their was a clear marker as to why I was aware it was not a genuine kors bag and that they were putting their 100 per cent feedback in jeopardy.
That, nor reporting to ebay has made a difference & they are still trying to sell it for £250! Ebay seems useless at removing counterfiet items
But from I can gather, sometimes good at removing genuine ones.
Feel like I am flogging a dead horse!!!!

Yeah sorry i meant to post an update on that. She obviously either didn't know, or did and me making contact with her worried her. As she had 100 per cent feedback I felt it was fair to message her and give her the info. Just glad no one ended up with it.
