I just came across an ugly, fake soft leather Hamilton in my TK Maxx. It was an odd size, shiny paper like lining, hardware wrong and the list goes on. I had to show it to a manager as I couldn't let someone pay over £100 for this. Crazy thing is, I felt silly pointing it put. I was able to compare it to the genuine Hamiton bags they had and the bag I was carrying. It was obvious to me but to others (and from a distance) it could look good. I wonder if I will see it on display again..

Thank you for bringing it to the manager's attention. Sometimes, these things happen; it could have been a return & since most SA's aren't trained to know the difference, they wouldn't know whether a returned bag was genuine or not. Hopefully, management removed it to the back & will have the bag destroyed.

I hope I don't see it again. The manager looked very carefully at all the things I pointed out between my bag and the other one ones they had. It was my first time seeing a fake in person and I was surprised at how certain things (like the lock) looked genuine but the fact that there were threads loose and the shape made me look closer. I can see how the SA could get fooled. I hate confronting people but I couldn't leave knowing someone could buy it. Where I live MK isn't that common and not many would know the differences that I picked up on because it looked good from the outside, at a glance. If you had never bought one before you wouldn't have known.

s-l300.jpg Good morning ladies! Second day of my vacation today, the house is still full of carpenters. Hopefully the painter comes tomorrow and the electrician on Thursday. Mess everywhere. .. Anyway, I'm thinking of selling my medium Selma Pale Pink Gold Studs. I think this bag was a mistake. An expensive one too. I've listed it at half price, no takers. Are studs on their way out?

Sounds like it's busy and messy at home. Your pale pink Selma is lovely, I personally don't think studs are out on bags, might just take a few weeks to sell. Took me about 6 weeks to sell my Bedford messenger in watermelon but I didn't give in to the silly low offers and eventually someone on paid what I wanted.

I guess. It's just annoying knowing the amount I paid for it. I like the bag, its just not the one I reach for.

I thought studs were on their way out but MK just released the studded Ava, so they are trying to keep it alive. Your bag is beautiful. I've always loved pale pink. It think the problem is that the market is over saturated with MK right now. It will probably be the demise of the brand. Even the premium bags were marked 70% off over the weekend on the MK site....

Good morning! Ceiling finished, painter coming today... Todays good deed; just reported three fake bags on a Norwegian website. I do this weekly, I should get comission:frown:. Anyway, I went and saw the "Me before you" yesterday. You should go see it, fantastic movie. Came across a black quilted Grayson this morning. Might have to look into that one:giggle:! Have a great day!

Isn't it strange...it's been almost two years since I last bought an MK bag, and now I've bought three in one month. Two Jet Set Travel Crossbody in lilac and blossom, and beautiful and gorgeous Taryn in black /white. Its been a while since I've found something I had to have... I lost the Sema in ballet due to me being indesicive, and I couldn't let the lilac Jet Set Travel Crossbody and beautiful Taryn end up the same way. Am I the only one thinking this way...? That you have to grab some models and colors while you can or els they will be gone?

Definately get them while you see them if it's love at first sight or you'll end up hunting them down later down the line. I think buying the bags gets addicting [emoji15] I have more than I probably need but still want more [emoji30]
