Dear all,
Apart from slightly different aesthetic, is the retail version better quality than the outlet version? MK UK no longer has it in stock but I have seen some at the outlet. They look pretty good to me?:biggrin:

Well, the original Tile Blue Selma I got a couple weeks back had a big bulge in the front of it. Also, I notice on the front that some of the edging was tearing, I tried to look past these but couldn’t. So I sold it to a friend whom it didn’t bother and ordered another one from a different seller. She’s perfect!!! 59942C21-1564-47F0-83F4-94F591BA0AB3.jpeg So here’s take two.

Does anyone have a good seller they can recommend (Ebay, Mercari, etc) for Selma? I can't seem to find a good preloved site to order another Selma, and the staff at the Michael Kors outlet in my town looked at me like I had 2 heads when I asked about getting another Selma.

I cannot recommend a seller per se, but I have had fairly good luck when I have bought Selma's on ebay. Just remember a NWOT is probably used. Bags that usually have a large gold plate on the front could be outlet bags. A couple of things I ask sellers in general, I am a non-smoker so if there is one smoker in that house, I can smell it. Super sensitive to it. Also watch how they are shipping it. If it says Priority Flat rate box, I would pass, it won't fit comfortably even in the large Priority box. I always ask them to make sure the bag is stuffed with tissue/paper and if they are folding the handles down (most likely) ask to put some type of padding or bubble wrap so they don't leave a dinged handle mark which will be hard to get out. You can always ask the authenticators here to look at a listing to see if a bag is the real deal. Funny though someone (not on here) once accused me of carrying a fake when it was a department store exclusive which I bought in person at the store. I even had a photo of the bag on display...some bags are rare like that so you definitely want to have those confirmed. What color are you looking for?

I am looking around for some Selmas preferably in shades of red and dark red/burgundy but also wine, orange, etc, both the small crossbody and the large one. What are your thoughts about Selma starting to look dated, as I’ve read in some places? I love her look and I plan to get probably 2, not decided yet which size in which color.
