THE LOGO
Just Michael Kors bags are often imitated very badly - as you often recognize it already, because the Markenname was misspelled. But even if Michael Kors is correct, you should look at the distance between the letters. This is always balanced and equal. The letters themselves are the same size and the same thickness. Furthermore, you should ensure that the round Michael Kors charm - if the pocket model of your choice has one - corresponds to the original. The original has a thickness of 3 mm and is glossy. Most counterfeits are rather dull, scratched and much thinner. In addition, the letters are very close to one another - in the case of imitations they are often separated. Also you should pay attention to the logo on the inside as well as on the handles of the handles. The logo inside the Michael Kors bag is sewn there and rounded and neatly sewn at the edges. Often the MK logo is also engraved on the hardware - here it must always be extremely clean, straight and balanced.
THE SEAMS
They are quickly overlooked or not regarded as important, but the seams can also point to imitation. The difference to the original designer handbag is usually clear at the corners. In the case of counterfeits, the seams are frayed, not stitched or show small knots. So keep the seams in mind before you buy a Michael Kors bag !
THE HARDWARE
The hardware is shiny and tidy with Michael Kors pockets. Also the weight of zippers and co. is relatively high due to the use of high-quality materials. In the case of imitations, however, the hardware is often made of super-light metals, which quickly scratch or have a matte effect. On most hardware pieces, you’ll find a Michael Kors engraving - this should be absolutely straight and balanced, the letters should be in an even distance and equal width, as well as high.
THE INNER LINING
In most cases it is also worthwhile to take a look inside the Michael Kors bag, because the inner lining tells you something. Especially the typical crackling of the material should bring with you the alarm bells. These are, in most cases, a counterfeiting in which plastic sewing templates or the like have been left in the fabric. Authentic Michael Kors bags have an inner lining of polyester, which feels soft and supple.
THE SERIAL NUMBER
Like every designer handbag, the models by Michael Kors have a serial number as well as a label, which is inside the bag. Here you have to make sure that the label consists of 1 or 2 letters, a dash plus four numbers. If this is not the case, then it is not a genuine bag of the label Michael Kors.
Look inside of the bag to find a high-quality tag. Search on the right side of the bag until you find a layered tag. Check that the bottom layer is gray and the top layer is white. Before you continue, check the front of the white tag and the back of the gray tag to make sure that there’s text printed on them.[1]
Older bags might have a leather tag with “Michael” and “Michael Kors” heat stamped on it. On these tags, there will be 2 lines of text, with the second line of text being smaller than the first.[2]

Confirm that the top of the white tag has a 12-digit code. To verify this code, type it into a Google search bar to see what search results come up. Confirm that the correct model of bag shows up when you search the code. [3]
Keep in mind that the image results of the search might include different colors of your bag model.

Examine the back gray tag for a 4-digit number. Note that the 4-digit indicates when the bag was made. Check that the tag also includes manufacturing information, like the factory location.[4]
For example, “1511” indicates that the bag was made in November 2015. Keep in mind that Michael Kors has factories in the China/Taiwan area, so a “Made in China” does not automatically mean that the bag is fake.
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.
