No it's original..this is one of the newer interior since end 2015/ 2016..many bags have already this interior or a newer interior where michael kors is written just smaller and not so often written as on the outlet bags
Earlier I stopped at the MK outlet to look around and the SA noticed my selma and told me, "too bad they are discontinuing it".
What is this blasphemy? I'm late to the game on the Selma but have been hooked ever since I got my first one a few months ago. To me, it's the epitome of the perfect bag. Has anyone else heard this? I'm hoping she doesn't know what she's talking about.

I've heard this before also, a couple of times for a while now. But they just came out with new colors for the Selma for this Spring on the Michael Kors website.
This would not surprise me at all. Remember the article someone posted about Michael Kors declining sales and the lack of variety in bags from which to choose over the holiday season? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-skimp-on-new-designs-in-face-of-handbag-woes
It was rumored for close to a year that Kate Spade was retiring their most popular style Maise and for months they kept adding new colors and styles. Now Maise is no more except on deep discount but no new bags. It has been replaced by a similar but larger domed satchel. Maybe MK thinks they have done all they can with Selma and want to introduce a new satchel. Especially if sales have declined due to lack of variety. Look now they have resorted to that horrible interchangeable "jackets" for the Selma which says to me they have run out of ideas. Of course they replaced the Sutton satchel with Savannah which backfired. I don't think Savannah is nearly as popular as Sutton. Unfortunately for us, the companies don't announce these things so my advice for Selma lovers is to buy them while you still can. I love Selma and hope it is not true but am not counting on it
BLASPHEMY! The Selma is my favorite satchel. I own 6 large ones in various colors and don't plan on ever parting with them. The large is discontinued, but I just saw a couple new multi-colored ones on the MK website. Maybe it's a slow, phased, departure of the Selma. First the large then the medium then maybe the messengers, as well.
I definitely think he has run out of ideas for the Selma...plain, grommets, studs, microstuds, multi-colored, whipstitched, diamond designs, quilting, etc. It's all be done already. Oh, well. It's the end of an era.
I only just today picked up a large luggage selma in perfect condition. The large will take some getting used to for me because all my others are medium, but I love it too! I am on a spree now to get all the ones I want.
I must say too that I'm so grateful for this forum. I had a hard time getting it out of the dust bag from the seller today and I bent it a little. Came to research what to do and found a post about using a hair dryer. Couple minutes later and you can't even tell. And in the authentication thread I learned it's from 2013. You ladies are awesome!

I still want the large black Selma grommet with gold hardware. Does anyone think this is too dated? There are some new ones with tickets still on them for sale on ebay and amazon. I have always wanted one, but got so many other purses instead, now it is time for me to get it before its gone. I want it for Valentines Day. Does anyone still use their grommet selma's? Would the plain black one be classier? I just love that touch of gold and uniqueness of the grommets though. I know he kept the large black solid one on his MK website, so it must still be very popular. To me it says glamour and timeless. But I just lean towards those grommets, like jewelry for my bag. 
I'd say get one if you love it! I recently got a cherry studded selma and I don't even like red or gold hardware but I absolutely love it every time I look at it, even if it becomes (or is) dated I will rock it! So if grommets are what you like, go for it!

I have a large black grommet Selma with silver hardware & I still carry her, especially when I'm wearing silver jewelry. I don't think the grommet Selma's are dated; I don't see very many where I live & I get compliments on her when she's out & about. Same goes with my Malachite Selma with gold studs.
