I was given a fake Michael Kors purse (black) during the December holiday season and I knew it was fake because of the stitching and poor craftsmanship. Actually, she carries one (blush). From that experience and what I felt, I decided to go a Michael Kors store at Queens Mall located in Elmhurst, NY and check. My feeling are right and I informed someone at the store. Anyway, I got rid of the fake purse!
