If you’re looking for a stylish bag to wear while running errands or for a chic date night, check out this MK bag on sale. It features a chain-trimmed shoulder strap, trendy gold-tone hardware and a spacious interior for your wallet and phone.
The MK logo is printed consistently on the purse liner fabric. The lining is also made from a heavier, thicker fabric than the exterior of the bag.
Purse zippers
If you’re purchasing a Michael Kors bag, pay attention to the zipper opening. A real MK purse has a metal zipper that opens and closes smoothly. The zipper also features a zipper stop that prevents it from moving beyond the zipper teeth and coming off track. In contrast, counterfeit bags use plastic zippers and don’t have a zipper stop.
The lining of an authentic MK bag will have a consistent pattern and color. A fake pattern is usually uneven and has two pieces of fabric slapped together. The MK logo on the pocket fabric will match the rest of the lining. The zipper pockets on a fake MK bag often feel plastic and don’t have neat stitching around them. In addition, the hardware on a fake bag will be rough and crooked.
Purse lining
The lining of a real Michael Kors bag should be light in color and feature the MK logo printed consistently on the fabric liner. On the other hand, fake bags use a darker color for the logo and the lining of the pocket fabric piece is often two pieces slapped together. In addition, fake MK bags sometimes have the MK name engraved on the metal logo tag in different letters and uneven spacing.
Real MK bags usually come with a QR code denoting the country of manufacture and style number, which can be easily checked for authenticity. Also, the hardware should feel heavy and substantial and not like coated plastic. In addition, a real MK bag will not gape when you open or close the zipper.
Purse hardware
When inspecting the hardware on an authentic Michael Kors bag, it should feel heavy and polished. The logo should be clearly engraved and perfectly centered. If it looks crooked, it is likely fake. It should also have a smooth, copper-looking tone to it. Authentic hardware also has precisely cut edges and is not rusty. Look at the tag and see if it has a gray tag with two letters indicating the country of origin.
The lining of the bag should match the leather color. Inauthentic bags will have a different pattern printed on the fabric liner, and the pattern is usually inconsistent. The zipper pockets should also be a consistent color. If the pocket fabric has a plastic feeling, it is likely fake. It should also be sturdy and not easily ripped or torn.
