text: i looked at this bag in Macy's priced at $198.00 and knew that I wanted it. After looking on Amazon I found it for $50.00 less but I was concerned about the authenticity.<br /><br />I received the purse and it was definitely an authentic Michael Kors bag. It was covered and wrapped in the MK tissue paper, all of the hardware was covered, it included a dust cover bag to store the purse in. This purse even had the original MK price tag on it.<br /><br />So very pleased that I went ahead and purchased it. I know this will become my favorite go to purse.
