An MK experience

Michael Kors or MK has known to be a world class brand all over the world and also one of the most counterfeited brand. I just saw this post on Facebook about she was scammed so I take a look at it. Please see photo below what I have found.

Since I am an online seller and I am selling authentic bags also, it caught my eyes and started a chat with her. I also used to bring my items to MK Rockwell to let them check that my MK bags are 100% legit so that my clients would be at ease when purchasing from me. I am really sad that more people are getting scammed and the seller will not be held liable. That's why I created this blog for you guys to have just a small knowledge on spotting the knock offs. Ms. Kai Sy allowed me to grab her pics and post it here. (below are the pics that the MK bag she bought)

MK have a smooth and fine stitching not crooked like this one. So this is FAKE.

There is no button like that as seen on the picture in every MK bags that you will purchase. SO this is FAKE.


MK buckle should have insignia's its written in bold MICHAEL KORS. So this is FAKE.

To sum it all it is really so frustrating that many people are still saying that they sell legit stuff but their not and many people who trust them get burned. So I'm still asking the seller to let me know her side of story so that this issue will be fix. As we say it in Tagalog "Kawawa naman ang taong nag labas ng pera".

How to SPOT: MICHAEL KORS

MICHAEL KORS

Michael Kors bags have INSIGNIAS on every metal part of the bag.
MK uses only Silver and Gold Metal.
if your MK has LARGE stitching its a FAKE.
Take time to look at the tag it should be in light brown tag.
Check the MK lettering it should be very close together.
Never forget to check the inside of your bag, you will see a transparent tag indicating the "MADE IN (BLANK)" part, mostly you will see made in China, Indonesia and Malaysia. Then below it you will see a 2 letter and a 4 number, the 2 letters signifies the style of the bag and the numbers are the year and the month it was made.
Most of MK bags uses YKK zipper.
There are many knock off bag at this time so its better to buy from a reputable online shop, and if you have time to visit the mall check the item that you want to buy then compare it to the online shop that you want to buy in.
MK bags was originally made or manufactured in the US previously but in 2008 they move to CHINA. Yes you read it right CHINA.
