How to Spot Fake Michael Kors Bag
Michael Kors bags have become synonymous with Saffiano leather. If you’re unfamiliar with thei brand’s trademark material, Saffiano is calf leather with a fine criss-cross pattern machine stamped into it. An original will feel structured and rigid, while synthetics tend to be soft and floppy.
Original Saffiano leather will also have a slight gloss to it.
Michael Kors typically uses two different logos: the expanded one and the circle emblem.
Price. As with all designer handbags, price is a big indicator of what you’re buying. Michael Kors handbags range from the mid-100s to several thousand dollars.Research the price range for the bag you're interested in. When considering an online purchase, stay away from bags listed below this price range.
Trademark. Look for the designer’s trademark square buckles and fixtures. All Michael Kors bags, big or small, display these square accents. Authentic Michael Kors purses have multiple “MK” insignias on buckles, snaps and other metal parts.
Materials. Authentic Michael Kors handbags are made from very fine materials and are superbly handcrafted. Although he’s only been designing accessories since 2001, MK bags are extremely well priced. You’re getting great value for your dollar when you buy an authentic Michael Kors purse.
Silver tone and gold tone hardware. This is a sturdy, shiny metal that feels very solid to the touch. Replica Michael Kors handbags usually use cheaper metals and plastic.
The expanded version should be precisely cut with sharp edges, and the letters should be evenly spaced. Inauthentic versions of this logo tend to stand out from the leather more, while legitimate logs are embedded into the leather, and perfectly centered.
The circle emblem shows the letters M and K at the center. The letters should be distinct and surrounded by a perfect circle. Often, fakes will feature logos that look a little wonky and unsymmetrical.
Logo hardware should feel heavy and substantial, and not like coated plastic.
From time to time, Michael Kors does use a plain MK to embellish some bags as well.
An original Michael Kors bag should use sturdy hardware to fasten the handles to the bag.
Another subtle telltale sign in an original Michael Kors is four even and perfectly proportionate stitches underneath the handle hardware. Counterfeit Michael Kors bags do feature the four stitches as well, but they’re often sloppily executed.
An original Michael Kors bag should have the handles joined to the body using sturdy hardware
Below the stitching is a screw. The screw on an original should feel flat to the touch and shouldn’t protrude from the bag.
The handle of an authentic tote must be made from premium leather and shouldn’t wrinkle around the foam tube. Additionally, leather tabs should neatly conceal the handle edges instead of exposing the edge stitching.
Authentic Michael Kors zippers have a brass finish, and are usually paired with an elongated zipper pull. The expanded Michael Kors logo is engraved cleanly onto the pull.
Counterfeit zipper pulls will typically use the rounded logo, and are usually made out of plastic with a metallic finish. This type of pull is noticeably more prone to breaking, flaking and chipping.
In other models, the straps are usually sewn on cleanly on the outside of the tote body. Check for precise stitches and neat leather tabs that conceal the handle ends.
Bags made more recently use clasps, grommets and buckles instead. Most of the shoulder straps in the newer models are removable.
A lot of fake MK totes are lined with logo print material, but they still feature telltale signs that they’re faked. Original Michael Kors totes will uses a light, almost beige shade in lining materials. Most replicas will use a darker material. Knock-off logo prints tend to be heavily shaded, and the logo acronym faces in different directions instead of the single direction that original logos face.
Both linings are synthetic, but the fake one will likely rustle more, and feel stiffer than an authentic.
On larger totes like the Hamilton, one side of the lining will have a zipper pocket with a piece of leather framing the zip. A counterfeit will have a less-than-graceful leather piece that is more rounded than the original.
Usually - but not always - both sides will feature open pockets. The more classic bags will have one with a cellphone pocket on the left and a flat pocket on the right. The opposite side should have two flat pockets. Fakes tend to duplicate the cellphone pocket on both sides.
