scammers sell non authentic bags here and tell that it's authentic. I'm cool with people sell non auth as long as they charge right price for non auth and tell the truth.But most bad sellers lie about that and overcharge for it. Almost all MCM non auth bags here cost like $20-30,but bad sellers charge $150- more, telling people that it's authentic.i don't think that's right for buyers.So I'm opening this listing to help people not to get cheated.You should check the item yourself before you buy.

hotboom @hezi00 @kccoast @djohnson209 @icyynolan @exclusivemerch he/she selling all replicas. Do not even buy it. Those bags are really poor inspired. People should pay $ 20-$30 for it. I can distinguish authentic MCM bags. Please check this listing and compare to all MCM bags I posted on my closet. That person blocked me, so I'm tagging you guys. Always be careful, when you shop here.

hotboom @tjarvis please check this listing to distinguish authentic MCM bags and read my comment. He/she blocked me because I let people know it was not authentic.

Jul 04Reply

hotboom Oh , sorry, I meant only this person @exclusivemerch lies that those bags are authentic :)

Jul 04Reply

kccoast @hotboom oh ya, I know mcm too. I was going to call them out but I figured it was a waste of my breath. 😘

Jul 04Reply

kccoast I reported all their listings as replicas

Jul 04Reply

hotboom @kccoast yes I hear you. I just can't stand for it as long as a big shopper of MCM and a seller of MCM. If someone sells replicas for reasonable price and doesn't lie about that , I understand. But lie people that it's authentic, when it's not and overcharge for it. I don't think that's right or fair. Those replicas cost like $20-30 then that scammer is selling them for $150~ more.

Jul 04Reply

hotboom @kccoast I reported him/her as well. But I see Poshmark is bad to take care of authenticity. All sold MCM bags of my listings here were sold on Tradesy. They are pretty good to protect buyers and sellers about authenticity. But their fee is a little bit lower than Poshmark. So Poshmark should work harder for that.

Jul 04Reply

kccoast @hotboom right? That scammer was asked by a user if it was authentic and their answer was 100%.. to me that's such a scumbag move. Your post was awesome though, and In definitely going to share it. I'm glad you spoke up! 👊

Jul 04Reply

kccoast @hotboom I sell on tradsey too!! And I definitely agree! For every real ncm bag on posh there are 3 replicas

Jul 04Reply

hotboom @kccoast @kccoast Thanks and Yes, Tradesy is a lot better! They asked me for about my 2 bags for authenticity, because I bring rare styles from Korea most of the time. But I was happy that they really care to ensure a replica free market place. And after checked all my proofs, they allowed me to complete the sales. So I don't understand why Poshmark takes 20% fee, when they don't do anything about it.

Jul 04Reply

kccoast @hotboom they offer a guarantee over 500 but so many of those replicas are listed at 150 and I hate to see people falling into those traps.. even if it's too good to be true common sense wise. I live tradsey for it's security. Buying and selling. And I am going to keep an eye in your closet! That's so awesome that you bring in rare bags straight from the source!

Jul 04Reply

hotboom @kccoast Yea I know their guarantee for over $500 which not working on most cases here. it means they offer the service for over $100 fee. And thanks ! I have more new listings and posted them on Tradesy. But I'm not too motivated to post them here now... because of a bunch of scammers like that person lol.

Jul 04Reply

hotboom And I'll keep checking your closet as well!! You have nice items. have a great day! 😉

Jul 05Reply

hotboom @kccoast I just do what I should do. And thanks for understanding and sharing your opinion with me :)

hotboom @nryan27 if you know those MCM bags from exclusivemerch are replicas and still want to buy them, I won't stop you. But I want to let you know those are poor inspired replicas. That replica backpack costs $20 and that replica chain wallet costs nothing , maybe $3 ? (MCM doesn't even make it)

Jul 08Reply

hotboom @nryan27 Don't fall into the hole. He's blocking everyone who telling people the truth on his posting. He blocked me as well. And still lying and trying to rob people. Check this listing and decide. Those replicas look ridiculous..

Jul 08Reply

hotboom @xanmanphan8 check this listing I posted. And you can trust me, check my other listings of MCM bags. Exclusivemerch' replicas' Logo patterns , logo plates are so wrong and cheap. You can see that it's fake right away. I have 100 of authentic MCM bags and wallets as my personal collections and selling some of them I never used or not using now.

Jul 08Reply

xanmanphan8 I'll get my refund but thank you

Jul 08Reply

hotboom @hamzzareiqat @idontwriteback check my post. They are poor quality replicas. I mean exclusivemerch's all bags. I reported all his listings and his closet. But Poshmark don't do anything.

Jul 12Reply

hotboom @hamzaareiqat

Jul 12Reply

hotboom @babyjayg your bag looks new, but it's not authentic. Check all my listings, then you see how I know. Giving you simple tips. Screws on the logo plate must be flat, not sticking out, and can be separated when you unscrew it. And the logo plate never covers the logo patterns underneath. The logo patterns must be on the straight line with logo plate.

Aug 09Reply

hotboom @babyjayg And the patterns on the center line & the left line of the center line must be forward, not upside down. Besides that, leather is so wrong. It's not their MCM. You can sell whatever you want. I'm cool with people selling replicas if they are honest. But that's not good that you say authentic when it's not :)

Aug 09Reply

hotboom @babyjayg Easiest way to prove the bag is authentic is finding a white label which has item numbers & made in Korea on inside of the pocket of the bag. Don't get upset with me telling you that. But put yourself in their shoes. U trust the seller and buy it, believing it's authentic, then u find that it's not after u get it. Would u be happy with that? You know the reason why u blocked me, I don't even block u :)

Aug 09Reply

mimikim1234 @hotboom Omg, I don't even know MCM bags, but that white replica bag looks awful. The studs don't line up at all and even look crooked. They manufacturer made no effort to line up the patterns on the pieces of the bag. I don't even think it's leather. I would be PISSED if I paid over $200 and got that sent to me.

Aug 09Reply

mimikim1234 @hotboom I suppose there's a chance she really thought it as authentic (i.e. the person who gave it to her lied, or just didn't make any claim of authenticity either way and she just assumed it was real). But the fact that she keeps insisting it's real in spite of all the evidence you gave her makes me think she's a scammer. 😔

Aug 09Reply

hotboom @mimikim1234 Hi, yes that's sad 😢 I always think that first. Maybe the person believe that it's authentic, because she/he got it as a gift. But can see what they are after I tell them it's fake. If the person really believe that and just heard that it's not authentic, they gonna be like "really? I didn't know that". But so far all of them just blocked me and kept saying it's authentic even though I gave the proofs. So we know they try to hurt people.

Aug 09Reply

hotboom @mimikim1234 that's too bad. Because I bet they don't want anyone to do the same thing to them, but they think they're fine to do that to others. It's just not right.

Aug 09Reply

mimikim1234 @hotboom With handbags, regardless of the brand, certain things are tell tale signs of a cheap bag. Maybe this is stretching it, but she should be able to FEEL that's it's not an authentic, expensive bag. Oh well. Thank you for doing what you can to help people avoid these scams. Sometimes people see a good deal, and they jump on it before really looking into it.

Aug 09Reply

mimikim1234 @hotboom I know a little about Pandora jewelry, and I always cringe when someone buys a fake. You know the person who it's intended for is eventually going to be really embarrassed when a friend or a store rep tells them it's fake. I hear so many stories of women going to get their Pandora cleaned at a store, only to be told it's fake.

Aug 09Reply

hotboom @mimikim1234 Thank you for saying that :) yea the price seems ridiculous to believe it's authentic. It's really easy to assume that those replicas are not real. But a lot of people still fall into that hole. I know this is just a waste of my time. But I can't just let it go. Because I wish there was someone to tell me the truth if I'm in the same situation. We should have a good heart to live with others.

Aug 09Reply

aimeeen Hi I just wanted to know if you'd be able to distinguish an mcm backpack for me and tell me whether it's authentic or not before I buy it off of Poshmark! I just want to make sure and after seeing this post I wanted your help thanks so much!

Aug 17Reply

hotboom @aimeeen Hi :) where is the backpack?

Aug 17Reply

aimeeen https://www.poshmark.com/listings/5990c2e2649d0ca25f872855

Aug 17Reply

aimeeen @hotboom I shared it on my page thanks again

Aug 17Reply

hotboom @aimeeen It looks authentic. To make sure, you can ask the closer picture of the logo plate & the white label inside of the bag :) And one thing, if you pay $550 like the seller listed, it will ship to Poshmark headquarter first for an authenticity check. If it's authentic, they will ship it to you. Poshmark do it for listings over $500. So you don't have to worry .

Aug 17Reply

hotboom @aimeeen And one more tip, you should ask for photos of the bottom, the corners of the bottom of the bag to check signs of wear :)

Aug 17Reply

hotboom @maylenechan @shine2015 @yanne_cutie @arely1991 Sorry, I can't just let it go since I'm a big fan of MCM, have like 100 of Authentic MCM bags and wallets in my closet and I'm a legit seller of MCM. Be aware. nautica1879's MCM bag is not authentic. Just check this posting first. The Easiest thing to distinguish MCM is the logo plate & the white label inside.

hotboom @shoeflu Hey, scammer. You are so immature to leave a lie on my listing after I told people the truth that your bags are replicas. You don't even know how authentic MCM bags are. That's why you are selling replicas, saying they are authentic. When did you buy a bag from me? Lol And I'm a good seller on Tradesy as well. You can't even post your bags there. Because they don't allow replicas to be posted.

Oct 04Reply

hotboom @meg0292 you should check my posting about MCM authentic bags here. I can't see the person hurting people, saying it's authentic when it's not. So I left the comment on @shoeflu's listing of replica. Then this person blocked me and left all nonsense on my listings. Just always be careful when you shop here on Poshmark.

Oct 04Reply

meg0292 @hotboom thanks so much ❤️ yeah that person has been pestering me quite much. Appreciate your concern!!

Oct 04Reply

jetaimelexx1 The scammers are getting ridiculous!! Thanks for posting this because the fake bags that are floating around is just completely sad

Oct 04Reply

hotboom @meg0292 you're welcome :) and Yes, it's crazy. That person is a devil. Shoeflu didn't even feel bad to do it to people and lie everywhere, even on my page. I think that person need mental health treatment.

Oct 04Reply

hotboom @jetaimelexx1 Yes, and they have balls to keep saying they're right and come at me to say I'm a scammer. It's really sad that they think it's fine to cheat on people like that.

Oct 04Reply

hotboom @finesseking04 Why do you want to buy the fake bag for $180? It's a poor end replica. That bag is worth like $20. Shoeflu is a scammer. That's why I left the comment to help people there. Then that scammer blocked me and lied about me there and even on my listings. Check this posting to distinguish authentic MCM bags here.

Oct 05Reply

finesseking04 @hotboom dam ur the goat Tks

Oct 05Reply

hotboom @ashleynicole98 don't fall into the hole. Shoeflu is a scammer. Check this listing about authentic MCM bags here first. That person's MCM bags are poor end replicas. It's worth like $20 or less. I left comments there to help people. Then the scammer blocked me and left nonsense on all my listings.

Oct 13Reply

ashleynicole98 @hotboom hi there! I did some research on what the real ones looked like on the MCM website and when I saw this one looked nothing like the ones on the website, that’s why I asked to see the tag. Wanted to have another picture before I reported the listing

Oct 13Reply

hotboom @ashleynicole98 hey, yes. I reported the person as well. You didn't even have to check the tag. Those bags are too poor quality. Just material of the bag is plastic and logos are ridiculous. I'm professional to distinguish authentic MCM. Just be careful, when you see MCM bags which listed for less than $400. 90% of them are replicas.

Oct 15Reply

hotboom @chief226 Yes I reported him. And I'm laughing at him. Shoeflu's listings are all poor end replicas, then he's saying to people that he bought them from Bloomingdales or got them from his brother who works for LV Chicago, saying those LV are authentic but just have some error , so he's selling really cheap. All nonsense ! And actually people believe that and buy it . So sad 😂

Oct 15Reply

hotboom @maddeyb19 Hi, shoeflu bag is fake. Don't listen to him. That's what he does. He lies it's authentic first when it's not, and if the buyer wants to cancel or return, offer the buyer extra fake stuff with it, so try to make the buyer take it. I'm a legit MCM seller. And you did good job not taking his replica :)

Oct 15Reply

chief226 @hotboom yes it is...I’ve never fallen into that trap before and I’m so mad at myself...luckily I got my $ back

Oct 15Reply

hotboom @chief226 it's really nice for you to get money back. And I understand that you're upset. Sometimes it's hard to avoid a good deal wants to believe. But you learned now :) I have tons of authentic MCM bags and they are new or used only a few times, so sell them a lot cheaper than retail. But still I can't go that low.

Oct 15Reply

hotboom @chief226 The cheapest price is maybe a half of retail price. If the price a seller list is cheaper than 50% or more, You should be carful. You know the moncler jacket costs more than $1000. So...

Oct 15Reply

chief226 @hotboom a lesson well learned but I don’t want others to fall into his trap

Oct 15Reply

chief226 @hotboom check it out his closet is empty! Interesting

Oct 15Reply

hotboom @chief226 oh I just checked. Finally he got banned? Still showing number that his listings 31 at the top, but can't see any listing.

Oct 15Reply

chief226 @hotboom hmm let’s see if he creates another closet if so he’s another project for me

Oct 16Reply

hotboom @chief226 Yes, I'll keep an eye on it

chief226 @hotboom I think he got banned his closet is gone but...who knows if he’s still lurking

Oct 17Reply

hotboom @tayloralysssa check this posting, girl. I'm a legit seller and buyer of MCM. Everythingsell's bag is a really poor replica. Don't fall in to the hole. Nobody sells authentic MCM backpack for $200, especially when it's in a new condition. That bag is terrible. Read my listing about Authentic MCM, and remember when you shop MCM next time.

Dec 29Reply

tayloralysssa Thank you hun ! I didn’t end up buying that bag I ended up buying another mcm backpack here on Poshmark. I do believe it’s authentic by this post... but it’s very hard to tell 😩

Dec 29Reply

gabby7604 Not sure if u are an expert but can u look at a more bag and say if it’s authentic? I think I can but I am stuck on one and I can’t be sure.

Nov 27Reply

hotboom @gabby7604 yes, I’ve been a MCM shopper for over 10 years and a MCM seller on Tradesy. I can help you. You can tag me or leave the link here.

Nov 27Reply

gabby7604 @hotboom I tagged u. If I did Wrong the name is @marx3

Nov 27Reply

hotboom @gabby7604 it seems to be authentic. Lather and patterns are fine. The big thing is engraved logo, numbers and fonts on the gold plate. They are sharp and clear in the picture the seller posted. And the white label inside of the bag looks fine as well. If you want to make sure more, ask her to show you the picture of the black paper tag. Not the black logo side, but the other side which has style number and made year of that model.

Nov 27Reply

hotboom @gabby7604 I mean one side of the black paper tag which has the price of the bag. That side says style number, model made date and price.

Nov 27Reply

gabby7604 @hotboom ok. I still think it’s a fake. The plastic around the handles ..... but thanks sooo much

Nov 27Reply

hotboom @gabby7604 you think it’s a fake because of plastic around handles? They come out like that. MCM put plastic on handles. I buy MCM bags from department stores in Korea and the U.S or from them, Sungjoo company (it owns MCM). All my new bags had plastic on handles. So you shouldn’t distinguish authentic MCM by that plastic :)

Nov 27Reply

hotboom @gabby7604 I can distinguish high-replica MCM as well. Leather, patterns, stitching, the white label, hardware ...etc these are basic. The key is the plate. Nobody can copy MCM’s technology to engrave fonts and logos yet :) fake still can’t get things engraved that sharp and clear on the logo plate. This should be hard for people. I’ve been using MCM so long and owns a lot of their bags and wallets. So I can just see the difference and recognize it.

Nov 27Reply

gabby7604 @hotboom ah ok. I heard that the high end replica have the plastic wrap. I usually buy a Nordstrom since my horrible experience and never came wrapped in plastic. If u wanna email me I’ll send u a link that has the so called high end replicas My is gabby7604 yahoo

Nov 28Reply

didi_closet Question I’ve bought a mcm bag recently from Bloomingdales and they didn’t come with plastic ..... why is it that your items have plastic wrapped around the handles?

Nov 28Reply

hotboom @didi_closet Hi, it depends on the store. Not all of my bags had plastic on the handles, when I bought them. Some of them do, some of them don’t. Like I said plastic wraps on handles can’t tell if the bag is authentic or not. That was my point :)

Nov 28Reply

hotboom @gabby7604 I just e m ailed you. You can send me the link :)

Nov 28Reply

hotboom @didi_closet when they just come out , they have plastic wraps on handles before goes to the store. But when they get into the stores (Like MCM stores in different department stores) , I believe that the stores have different way to manage the bags before sell or to sell. As other people think, some people think it’s not authentic, because of the plastic. So maybe the store take off the plastic on purpose.

Nov 28Reply

hotboom @didi_closet But you don’t have to mind that as long as there’s plastic films on the logo plate and a tag when you buy it from the store you can trust.

Nov 28Reply

Jan 20Reply

hotboom @courtneyvins230 oh, sorry to say that. I just checked it again.. did you buy it already? OMG.. how much did you pay for it and from where?

Jan 20Reply

hotboom @courtneyvins230 oh, if someone gave it to you and you didn’t pay for it, It’s fine then. You can carry it around if you like. But you shouldn’t carry it when you go to the mall like Macy’s , Bloomingdales.. or you see someone who knows designer items well. Because it’s just straight looking replica.

Jan 20Reply

hotboom @courtneyvins230 authentic MCM backpack price range is from $800. That bag is not even same style from any AUTHENTIC MCM backpack. Similar style backpack from MCM is from $870. There’s no way she paid full price for it.

hotboom @courtneyvins230 you’re welcome. If you need any help for MCM, feel free to come back to me. Have a good night :)

Feb 07Reply

hotboom @akeya0914 Can you ask the seller for a photo of the chain straps part which is attached to the bag? Can’t see it for sure in those pictures. The chain has to be removable. I can barely see that, it doesn’t seem to be right. So want to make sure. The photo looks like the chain attached on the side of the wallet which is wrong.

Feb 07Reply

nhp5023 @hotboom hey! Do you know a lot about the vintage MCM? I have a duffel bag on eBay that I’m interested but a little unsure.. the left logo pattern is reverse instead of forward like your guide.. but I have seen a couple of vintage ones with the left reverse.. hoping that you could help! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264170084039

Feb 12Reply

hotboom @nhp5023 hi, I just checked it. Those pictures are not clear at all to distinguish the bag. Need to see all patterns in the front clearly. And the logo plate and hardwares, interior... It’s not about just patterns. I don’t recommend you to buy any bag by poor quality posted pictures.

Feb 12Reply

hotboom @nhp5023 A lot of sellers call fake or old, poor MCM bags “vintage” and sell them for the price which is not right. That bag shouldn’t be $347.... there are only few MCM vintage models can still be sold.. most of vintage bags out there are kinda in trash condition or replicas ..to be honest :/

Feb 12Reply

nhp5023 @hotboom Thanks so much for looking out! Here are some more photos the seller sent to me.

What's your opinion on this compare to the black one above? Really appreciate you helping me! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-MCM-Pattern-2Way-Travel-Shoulder-Hand-Bag-Leather-Brown-Gold-64EK821/312435692781

ladyminimalist hi! I came across this post of yours and appreciate how are you helping everyone. That’s so nice of you! now i wonder if you could share your thoughts about MCM satchels. Like MCM milla is it also possible that there could be replicas too. What is the most easiest way to tell if it’s Authentic or not. Thanks in advanced!

rys_1 Do u know if mcm pouches all have to come in a box? Cause this guy is selling me one from the Beverly Hills store but it’s not in a box but it has all the cards and everything

Feb 26Reply

hotboom @rys_1 Hi :) Can I see the listing?

Feb 26Reply

hotboom MCM Pouches, I have to see it. There are a lot of pouch replicas and card means nothing. These days many replicas are sold with dust bag and the warranty card.

80sbaby90sstyle @hotboom Hey, how's it going? Quick question since you are very MCM knowledgeable. I am, potentially, in the market for a new Wallet. I have been liking/loving certain MCM Men's Wallets for a bit now - but the ones I like are now discontinued! Specifically - I like the MCM Visetos variations and I love deals too lol. How can I do a quick eye test/self-verification to determine if a Men's MCM Wallet is legit or not? Thanks!

iceeeu Hello, do you mind to explain how to spot fake duke backpack, please? Thank you

xo_jc Hi! I just purchased a bag from here and am questioning its authenticity. Maybe I’m just paranoid. I received it and Idk. I’m researching what to look for but it varies from site to site. It’s a milla bag. Let me see if I can tag you.

Mar 30Reply

hotboom @xo_jc Hi, If it’s sold here, the listing must be still on the seller’s closet. You can tag me :)

Mar 31Reply

xo_jc @hotboom did you receive the tag? I was able to do it earlier.

Mar 31Reply

xo_jc @hotboom from everything that I’ve researched, it all looks legit. But the gold hardware looks like it was some wear and tear mostly on the hooks where they meet the bag. The bag seems stiff. Not sure if it’s because it hasn’t been used much.

Mar 31Reply

hotboom @xo_jc yes, just checked it. It seems to be authentic. And check the white label inside of the little pocket inside of the bag. You can see the style number on it :) you don’t have to worry. I haven’t seen any fake Milla tote yet. Guess because most people want bags to show MCM patterns outside of the bag. Most people don’t want to buy milla or Ella MCM bags unless they really love and know MCM.

Mar 31Reply

hotboom @xo_jc because that strap is made of fabric and the bag is used. So guess some sign of wear on it. And metal part as well. If you use it often, it gets old. It depends on the owner. How carry or manage the bag. I have a hundred of MCM bags for myself. And some models have the same strap and been a years. But mine still looks clean.

Mar 31Reply

xo_jc @hotboom thank you so much! I feel way more comfortable. I wasn’t sure where to find the white tag, I thought it didn’t have one but I found it. Thank you for your time. It is much appreciated. Now to enjoy my bag. Next- is a wallet. 💃🏽

sallard7 @hotboom hi. How can I search for you on Tradesy? Do you have any large mcm cognac totes with dark straps?

Apr 06Reply

sallard7 @hotboom I tagged you on a post of elyannamalufet and I think she blocked me?? I can’t comment on her postings.

Apr 06Reply

ashawesley @hotboom I think I just got scammed from someone selling replicas and now she is pissed because I caught on to it and asked for refund. She keeps saying that it’s authentic because of serial number but I know that most replicas have a serial number. She cannot tell me the name of the mcm bag, sort of resembles the Boston but It doesn’t look like any bag on the site. Package was also from Korea. Not to be stereotypical but I think its a replica. Poshmark is pending case now.

Apr 09Reply

hotboom @ashawesley hi, did you buy it through Poshmark?

Apr 10Reply

hotboom @sallard7 hi, I checked her posting. They seem to be authentic. But they are old models and they are not in good condition. So can say they are a little bit overpriced compare to the condition. If she blocked you, just don’t buy from her

May 07Reply

hotboom @julianna123397 yes, it has to be unscrewed, if want to unscrew them. Can’t see clear your photos on your listing. Sorry to say this. But the logo plate doesn’t seem to be authentic. And patterns on the bag are incorrect also :/

timaerag Hi @Hotboom I tagged you in two listed that I just received today. The black wallet has YKK on the zipper and all capitalized MADE IN KOREA, is that okay? The chains MCM engraving is not as sharp witch made me worry. I believe the Cognac bag seems to be a true vintage with the made in Germany on the inside. The zipper has no marking. Can you help authentic both and tell me the actual style name of the cognac, mini kelly or heritage? Thank you!

May 17Reply

hotboom @timaerag the old one seems to be authentic. That was from more than 15 years ago. MCM is Korean brand. So has to be said ‘Made in Korea’ now. But that model is made before we (Korea) took the company so it says Made in Germany. And Black Patricia wallet photos.. I can’t really see them clearly. Before that, there’s another plastic covers underneath that plastic cover of the hardware in the front in the pic?

May 17Reply

timaerag @hotboom yes there is another clear plastic on the lock hardware

May 17Reply

timaerag Is there a way for me to send you more pics?

May 17Reply

hotboom @timaerag you can post photos on your closet, so I can see. You can take photos of parts you’re concerned and post pics of the triangle stitches next to the hook for the chain inside of the bag

byrdban619 The screws come all the way out, it’s just the zipper inside seems a little cheap. And a lot of the gold plate has wen off, idk if that’s common either.

Jun 22Reply

amaye2tam @hotboom Just received an MCM Visetos Lion Boston Princess bag bought through Poshmark for $250. The bag looks well made and had a nice soft almost suede-like lining. The bayleaves check out as does the logo pattern and hardware. My concern is that there is no metal plate on the outside of the bag with a serial number. There is a small gold plate inside the bag just under the interior zipper pocket. Plate has bayleaf logo and Munchen but no serial number. Should I be concerned?

Jun 22Reply

amaye2tam https://posh.mk/MfJpQMSAJX Here is the link for the item. Thanks for any help or advice you can give me!

Jun 22Reply

amaye2tam Also, plate is not affixed with any screws. Just directly attached to leather right under the inside placket zipper. Have not accepted purchase yet.

Jun 22Reply

hotboom @byrdban619 hi, it seems to be authentic. Just that bag is really old one and not pricy model. And the hardware color comes off, if it’s old.

Jun 23Reply

hotboom @amaye2tam no, I suggest you to cancel the purchase. the bag has to have the logo plate (with screws and serial numbers) there inside, Not the metal plate which is shown in the pic the seller posted.

Jun 23Reply

hotboom The bag is called MCM lion boston bag in Korea. The logo plate must be placed there on the zipper pocket inside of the bag. When I say the logo plate is the one with screws and serial numbers. You can see how it looks like in all my bag photos on my listings.

Jun 23Reply

amaye2tam @hotboom Thank you for your advice. This bag really does look authentic until you look at that logo plate with no serial number. The seller seems reasonable and seems to understand. Says she bought the bag in Japan. Seems like I have heard about a lot of really good replicas being sold there. I really believe she thought she had bought an authentic bag.

Jun 23Reply

hotboom @amaye2tam yes it’s hard for people to distinguish authentic MCM. There are a lot of MCM replicas everywhere. Especially MCM lion lines,,, more replicas.

Jun 23Reply

amaye2tam @hotboom Oh yes. I really appreciate your advice. I am new to MCM and did not want to cancel the purchase if I was mistaken. But without that serial number and screw plate, it is not authentic.

Jun 23Reply

hotboom @amaye2tam you’re welcome :) yea you can think like that, but not all of them, some style lines don’t have the logo plate.

Jun 23Reply

amaye2tam @hotboom I will keep that in mind! Thank you!

bella_09 @hotboom hi, can I please get your second opinion on this bag please? https://merc.li/2c9JC8b

Jun 26Reply

amaye2tam Hi there again! I am considering a white MCM lion line Boston bag with pink, yellow, black and navy leather accents. It has proper plates and serial numbers and hardware. Seller could not locate a Made in Korea tag. Were some of these lion bags made pre-2005? Thanks!

Jul 04Reply

hotboom @bella_09 Hi, sorry I’ve been busy the whole week. I hope you didn’t buy anything from that seller. I just checked the bag you linked. I checked all MCM bag listings of the seller. All MCM she/he listed are replicas... I can’t believe that how she/he sells those for $400 (other MCM bags as well) I don’t recommend to buy bags from M ercari. A lot of sellers sell replicas.. :$ and even on Poshmark, you should be careful... They both are not really good to take care for replica listings.

Jul 04Reply

hotboom @amaye2tam hey, no I don’t think so. And please don’t rely on the logo plate. Many replicas have the plate as well. If you can show me the listing or the link, I can let you know better.

Jul 04Reply

hotboom @amaye2tam http://trsy.co/22588263 You can check this link. It’s my listing. I sold this bag in new condition with authenticity card and dust bag for $340 (includes shipping)

Jul 04Reply

amaye2tam @hotboom Thank you! I will check for that tag. Does the condition look bad to you? Or are you questioning why she would sell it at that price in good condition? I did not see any real flaws. If it does not check out back it goes. Another lion bag bites the dust! Just my luck! You have been incredibly helpful. I am very grateful!

Jul 04Reply

amaye2tam @hotboom Will do!

Jul 04Reply

hotboom @amaye2tam yes in my opinion, it’s overpriced. When you buy boston bag, you should count the shape of the bag as well. And I see dirt stains on the bottom corners and bottom. Just check if there’s a white label inside first.

Jul 04Reply

bella_09 @hotboom thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I didn't purchase anything from the seller. When I asked the seller if the bag was authentic, they replied with yes. I asked for more clear pictures of the bag but they never responded. I also compared the interior color to the original bag and its 2 different colors so that's what gave it away.

Jul 04Reply

hotboom @twofishes1026 thanks ;) and sure I’ll let you know when I get more listings in the future. I sell my bags on other site now, because there are a lot of MCM replicas and bad sellers here. I got tired of them... want to take a break on Poshmark. but I’m still here to help people at the moment.

Jul 07Reply

hotboom @mmmmmmmmichaela can you please tag me on the listing? I can’t copy the list you left. And it’s too long to type.

Jul 07Reply

hotboom @erosbeauty I was testing you, because I want to know if you posted it without knowing it was replica or you’re just lying. Now you blocked me, so I’m sure you’re there to cheat on people :) I saw your listing on T radesy as well. But they will delete it and more , they can delete your account there as well. T radesy headquarter is not like Poshmark. Like I said I gave you the chance first. Don’t hurt people like that.

Jul 07Reply

hotboom @mmmmmmmmichaela you’re welcome :) and yes the backpack is not authentic, I didn’t even had to check all photos the seller posted. Could see it with just first photo. Stay away from it. And please be careful, when a seller says “it was a gift”

Jul 07Reply

hotboom @mmmmmmmmichaela you’re welcome. And can you ask the seller for pics of the logo plate and the white label inside of the bag? There are only 3 pics and can’t really see them clear. And can’t really see the condition of the bag. if the bag is authentic and that condition , most seller sell it for almost $500. So if someone sells it for $350 , you should make sure for authenticity.

Jul 10Reply

hotboom @barbielink the bag from the seller pun kin pie is replica. Don’t fall into the hole. And it’s from Singapore where many replicas come from. I don’t even take a closer look to distinguish it. The seller even posted the tracking history. Of the shipment of it. Then he/she has payment information of course. Ask the seller to post the receipt for the purchase as well. She won’t be able to do it :)

hotboom @cabero4life No, please stay away from it. it’s a poor replica.

Jul 10Reply

hotboom @mmmmmmmmichaela you’re welcome :) and I checked the seller’s comments there again. Even though it’s authentic, you shouldn’t buy the bag. The seller states “no sign of wear” But I see that the stitch came off next to the zipper, and leather is faded as well on the corner of the zipper pocket in the front. I’m sure then bottom corners might be faded also. Sellers should be honest about the condition.

Jul 11Reply

hotboom @mmmmmmmmichaela You should go for sellers like me posting listings. Check my photos of my listings to show conditions.

Jul 11Reply

hotboom @victorm2018 of course it’s a replica. Just checked his listing. Didn’t even have to take a look. And trust me that if anyone sells MCM back pack for that price, it must not be authentic. MCM back pack in that size is from $800. If you have the one, would you sell it for $150? Please just walk away and don’t believe whatever they say :)

hotboom @chrisd1212 Yes, there are a lot of high-end replicas as well. It’s a lot harder for people to distinguish it. These are some simple tips which can help anyone as long as there are many poor replicas. There are more tips to distinguish. But it won’t work for people, because those tips are pretty hard to know. So the best way is buying from department stores like you said. If they ask me for authenticity of MCM bags, I still help though :)

Aug 24Reply

hotboom @chrisd1212 and you can’t check only one thing or two things for authenticity, you have to see and check everything. It’s def hard to tell about authenticity, if it’s high-end replicas. Just for me, I catch high-end replicas easily. So if I can help people, I’ll help them :) so opened this listing and helping people here!

Aug 24Reply

hotboom @chrisd1212 and that’s why I have to tell you...! OMG I just checked your listings. Your MCM back packs are counterfeit... then did you sell them for that price? And you’re talking MCM authenticity over here on my posting?!! Are you, really?!! Why didn’t you buy MCM bags through Bloomingdales or those kind of department stores like you said, but some Asia country which is famous for replicas? The tags and inside of the bag.. everything is wrong!!

hotboom @milankp hello, did you check inside of the zipper pocket in the bag? Btw the bag condition is too bad..

Sep 07Reply

milankp @hotboom yes, there's MCM and logo under with a trademark under it on both sides.

Sep 07Reply

hotboom @milankp so there’s no white tag inside?

Sep 07Reply

milankp @hotboom no

Sep 07Reply

hotboom @milankp the bag should have a white label inside. that’s an old model and not popular. So I don’t think anyone would make a replica for it. But you should just return it. The bag doesn’t even keep in a shape. And the plate on the bag outside should be in a black color. That’s why the logo plate with serial number is inside of the bag.

Sep 07Reply

milankp @hotboom thanks for your help. Greatly appreciated. I'll report it ask request for a refund.

Sep 07Reply

milankp I found same one. https://posh.mk/iwDL5ollNZ

Sep 07Reply

hotboom @milankp that’s not the same model. They are different models. Compare metals on a strap in the front. And the logo plate with a serial numbers. Your bag has it inside of the bag and this bag has it outside on the bag. Your bag is a different model. So I let you know your bag’s plate outside of the bag should have black glaze in it.

wendyyyo https://posh.mk/STNvXGcTSZ

Sep 11Reply

hotboom @wendyyyo Just checked the photos. I don’t even have to take a closer look. Sorry to say this, But it’s not authentic. The model is called ‘MCM bebe boo’. Where did you get it from? MCM store and website sell it for $725+tax. So you can guess on the price you paid for it. The leather of your bag is... totally different from their authentic leather. And mini Bebe boo’s style number is ‘MMK5SVE92’ , the white tag must have these numbers on it.

Sep 11Reply

hotboom @wendyyyo I don’t recommend you to carry it, if you mind that people notice an authenticity of it. The leather is way off... to be honest. If you don’t understand what I mean, you can check my listing of cognac color MCM bags to compare the authentic leather.

So you just tagging me in anything right I sold you a buy for $165 on mercri and told you the return was good because I lost out money on selling a $500 bag for $165😭😂 no wonder your reviews on mercri state you are a nightmare to work with lol don’t tag me in no dumb stuff I didn’t even sale a mcm bag for $175 on here 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sep 28Reply

hotboom @hellokitty5150 it can be none of my business about the sale between you and her. But this is my listing about authenticity of MCM. And you left a comment which is ashamed. So I want to mention that You listed MCM replicas ridiculously overpriced , make them look like authentic. You should mention it’s replicas on your listings for buyers. I see your TWO MCM counterfeit listings.

Sep 28Reply

hellokitty5150 @hotboom your judgment isn’t the best when it comes to mcm authentic the tags and price tag should be the same number all hardware needs to be stamped the mcm leaves are not the same number in each side the logo pattern has its own pattern you can look it up the tag numbers should be there the feel of the actual bag and measurements it’s so much more to it that what you put out even on the actual replica part a gas station replica

Sep 28Reply

hellokitty5150 is $20-$30 stolen goods go way up on price and if the materials match it even goes higher you need to familiarize yourself with authentic by buying them a lot and also need to look up the comparison because you just tried me when your selling old mcms and authentication it with a 5 google step authentication method have a nice day

Sep 28Reply

hotboom @hellokitty5150 girl l, don’t try to tell me about MCM authenticity. I’m MCM’s best customers for over 10 years in Korea and here. And I’m a legit seller on Tradesy as well. These tips on this listing are very simple tips for low-end replica. What you just mention here, that’s nothing for me to distinguish MCM. What your saying is basic of basic to distinguish MCM. And you seem not to even know those things well.

Sep 28Reply

hotboom @hellokitty5150 do you want me to point every single of errors of your bag? Your MCM counterfeits are not even high-end replica. And what I’m saying is you can sell replicas, because some of buyers want to buy replica, but you should be honest and let them know it’s replicas. And if you’re that confident about your bags, saying it’s authentic. Try to list your bags on Tradesy. You can’t even post the listing there.. they’re gonna get rid of it right away :)

Sep 28Reply

hotboom @bryannabyrd and sorry for you to go through this. All the seller should’ve done was apologize and give your money back. But this one still keeps lying that her bags are authentic. And trying me that she knows about MCM authenticity better than me 😂 I’m just laughing here. Just always be careful to buy items on Poshmark and M ercari .

Sep 28Reply

hotboom @hellokitty5150 even though bags were stolen or what. If it’s authentic, it will be still told authentic. We just talking about authenticity here. So what you mean ? And you better stop that . you making yourself silly here. I don’t list bags here on Poshmark. Cuz I do on Tradesy. I’m even helping some headquarters to distinguish MCM bags for their business lol I can catch even very high-end MCM replicas. And have friends who work for MCM Sungjoo company in Korea.

Sep 28Reply

hotboom @hellokitty5150 You know that MCM is Korean brand and I grew up with that brand ;) all new lines are in my closet and even have even sample bags from MCM as well. So don’t come at me with that. And I’m a big shopper from MCM. So I sell bags which only I don’t want to keep my closet for extra space from my personal collection. So of course I won’t sell newest or favorite models now. I don’t sell them for money, but more spaces on my closet. That’s why-

Sep 28Reply

hotboom @_ontherocks_ No, hellokitty’s bag is not authentic. You can see other buyer’s complain and how the seller behaves here on my listing. Check their comments and what I said to her as well.

Sep 28Reply

_ontherocks_ Thank you so much

Sep 28Reply

bryannabyrd @hellokitty5150 Correction: the bag retails for $625 new. And if it was authentic, I highly doubt you’d sell it for that cheap. The bag feels like plastic and doesn’t look real. You’ll get the bag back, let’s see if you’ll get the money you claim you deserve.

Sep 29Reply

rickaylabrown I bought one and it looks real but I’m still iffy, help ?

Sep 30Reply

hotboom @rickaylabrown yes you can tag me on the listing if you bought it on Poshmark

Sep 30Reply

rickaylabrown @hotboom I tagged you . That black and white set you have I WANT IT 😩😩😩.

Sep 30Reply

hotboom @rickaylabrown I just checked the listing you tagged. But you should show me the photos of your bag. A lot of people take pictures with a real bag at the store, list the pictures and then send replicas. I’m just concerned that many Chinese people to that and the seller’s name seemed to be Chinese name... so should make sure things with your bag.

Sep 30Reply

rickaylabrown @hotboom okay how can I send you pictures ? I received the bag this morning the logo is going the correct way , the plaque seems genuine but I’m still not sure and it’s my guest bag so I’m quite concerned.

Sep 30Reply

hotboom @rickaylabrown high-end replica is made with good leather as well these days. So need to see hardware... take pictures of details of the bag. And take pictures of the gold logo plate on the bag and a white label inside of the pouch as well. And you can post them in your closet. After I check you can delete them.

Nov 23Reply

missmojo @ayanabell okay good. Man my stomach started hurting 😅

Nov 23Reply

julz_79 @ayanabell whats wrong with you? I asked you that you can authenticate it. You are bullying! And that is not right!

Nov 23Reply

julz_79 @missmojo yes of course it is real. I am willing to pay the authentication. As you can tell there’s a tag on it and the logo and the screw is turning.

Nov 23Reply

julz_79 @ayanabell you are bullying! If you dont like the first purse at the time you got it, you can just tell me right away and you can return it instead you waited for many days and tell me that is fake! I asked you nicely that you can authenticate it and told you the website that will authenticate branded purse!

Nov 23Reply

ayanabell @julz_79 Ma’am I clearly just told her it was real. I’m not a bully lol

Nov 23Reply

julz_79 @ayanabell next time before you post or comment a hurting words to other, think about first. You even left a review that I am a scammer! Which is not true at all!

missmojo @julz_79 thanks. I just wanted to make sure. Sorry for any confusion.

missmojo @julz_79 @ayanabell did tell me it was real. I wasn’t trying to start anything I just wanted to be sure. Sorry y’all 😔

Nov 24Reply

missmojo @julz_79 thank you.

Nov 24Reply

hotboom @ayanabell hey, sorry . I didn’t know a lot of things were going on here while I haven’t been on here for long. You mean the black lion tote bag from her? I just checked the listings the bag seems to be authentic. Yea I understand you’re concerned and yes there are a lot of fake ones of that model. But fake ones don’t have the serial plate inside of the bag in that model. But yours has it, right? And the white label , other things look okay. So I don’t think you have to worry ;)

Nov 24Reply

hotboom @ayanabell oh I just saw you mentioned green line on it. But now I see you said it was $230 hold on

Nov 24Reply

hotboom @ayanabell I don’t see that kind of bag for $230 there. You mean the shopper with the green line ? Btw I checked her some bags. They seemed to be authentic. Just almost all her bags are pretty much used condition. I think that’s why the seller sell them a lot cheeper. They are not in a great condition. That’s why -

Nov 24Reply

hotboom @julz_79 I understand you’re stressed out when you’re honest, but buyers don’t trust you and do something a little bit wrong overly. I totally understand that feeling :) But for the better business and your buyers, you should offer more knowledge like details to distinguish authentic bag. Just telling them to authenticate it with simple tips won’t be enough to get buyers to trust the truth.

Nov 24Reply

hotboom @julz_79 It’s sad, but the most authenticity of designer bags businesses here are not good for MCM. They usually do for more high brand bags like Luis Vuitton, Chanel... I haven’t seen anyone better than me to distinguish MCM bags in the U.S. so you should understand that part as well , that buyers are more worried about MCM bags authenticity.

Nov 24Reply

hotboom @julz_79 And most of your bags are old model which is from Korea. People in the U.S couldn’t be sure about their models and details, I think that’s why these things are happening. So don’t get hurt too much , just try to do deal in a little bit smarter way :)

jaclyn7ts Hello All, FYI, @shoeex2 (Felicity B) attempted to sell me a fake MCM bag for $88 (it was originally listed by the seller at $125) within the last 24-48 hours. Thank goodness, with the help of the information garnered from this post I was able to spot the bag as a fake before the seller shipped the item and I requested an immediate refund. Their post has also been reported to Poshmark. Please beware of this seller!

Nov 24Reply

shoeex2 @jaclyn7ts I never said it was fake. I said I got it from Thailand so I wasn’t sure

Nov 24Reply

jaclyn7ts @shoeex2 The fact is your bag is not an authentic MCM bag and replicas are not allowed on the Poshmark platform. Don’t sell it if you can’t confirm the authenticity of it.

Nov 24Reply

hotboom @jaclyn7ts I’m happy that you didn’t fall into the hole:) And @shoeex2 you’re saying you bought it in Thailand, so not sure about authenticity? Did you buy it from verified MCM store or Siam paragon Department store like Macy’s in Thailand? Of course not and you can guess it by the price you paid. I don’t think you’re not sure, I’m sure you know it. You can sell replicas, but should let people know it as well. If someone does the same thing to you, you would get upset as well. don’t hurt people.

Dec 30Reply

hotboom @mielebecky Hi, I just checked the video. I’m not offensive.. but people really buy bags by watching a live that? She’s not even show bags properly... with lights and low quality.. I can’t really see the bag details. But MCM has that back pack model.. it’s just really old model , more than 10 years ago. The seller sold it for $180? Wow I can’t get that used one for $40 😅

Dec 30Reply

mielebecky @hotboom yes she sells lots and a lot of dupe bags for no less than 28 but mostly 35 and 40

Dec 30Reply

mielebecky i just cant stand her since she ripped me off, sorry my shift button is broken

mielebecky she shows herself at thrift stores buying and then sales

Dec 30Reply

hotboom @mielebecky someone can keep the back pack if they want, but the Boston bag? I’ve never seen that model.. and I see some errors and mostly the lock.... I haven’t seen MCM uses that kind of lock yet. Dial lock...? They use traditional locks with the key all the time. That lock looks so awkward to me. That’s not a luggage. Have you seen any Boston bag used a dial lock? 😂

Dec 30Reply

mielebecky i brought first time i watched but only because a vintage bag i had been searching for

Dec 30Reply

mielebecky im looking now. i want a smaller leather crossbody.

Dec 30Reply

hotboom @mielebecky I’m sorry I don’t want to hurt your feeling. But that live and what she’s doing is so ridiculous and hilarious to me. I apologize that I’m laughing at it. Because it’s just unbelievable...

Dec 30Reply

hotboom @mielebecky so she buys bags from a thrift store , of course she’s not sure about authenticity. Then she sells them for prices like that ? She should be honest , telling she’s not sure and sell it for reasonable price, cheap price as much as she paid. I mean she should make a little bit profit out of it.

Dec 30Reply

mielebecky yes she should make profit but not cheat people , i will need buy that way again. dont blame you for laughing.

Dec 30Reply

mielebecky what do you have available in a small hobo or crossbody

Dec 30Reply

hotboom @mielebecky and just aware of that people cheat for authenticity, they always tell buyers to just leave if buyers ask about authenticity, Instead of trying to offer details for authenticity. This is 100% right ;)

Dec 30Reply

hotboom I’m taking a break from selling now. Because they are all my own bags I paid them for myself and still want to keep them in my closet even though most of them are just sitting in my closet. I’ll let you know when I post the listings :)

pink63j I think I just got scammed and ordered a fake MCM on ebay. Just looking at the pics again the handles of the MCM Liz in beige are not all beige but black on the side. Is there a chance that it is real? Everything else looks very legit and clean. Even the grommets have MCM on them. The beige and brown lining with the blue MCM looks correct too. Just the handles really throw me off. Any comments?

goldengoddess87 Hi I believe I was scammed. Had an extensive conversation with the seller and he became very aggressive when I said I didn’t feel the bag was Authentic. He went back and forth with me and when I pointed out the difference on the hardware he claimed it to be a scratch or glare. The logo plate has the dash under the letter in the serial number just like the picture you posted of the fake plate. Are there ever dashes under the serial number?

giannacip Hi there! I recently purchased what I thought was an authentic visetos Boston bag, but I’m not too sure it’s real. Nothing on the outside screams fake, but the tag on the inside has made in Korea on one side and sungjoo d&d on the other. Also the font on the plate on the inside looks a bit thicker than the font on the plate on the front. Does this seem fake? Hope to hear from you soon! 🥰

gmcgraw We are emptying out an aunt's handbag closet where she has a large collection of bags. We authenticated the LV bags and sold those to a collector out east. She has a number of MCM bags that hit all the good points you referenced. The only item is the back of the zipper - it does not contain the letters referenced. Does that nullify the authenticity? These are bags made in Germany, before the sale of the company. Thanks for any help!!

ritachkas @hotboom Do you know if the serial number always have to have one of the numbers with underscore? Also, I noticed some serial with 4 digits first and then letter following and some with letter first and then followed by 4 digits. Are all those sequences valid? Thanks.

Aug 03Reply

heidi_hd Thank you

Aug 18Reply

hotboom @ritachkas Hi :) most MCM serial number includes one number with under score. But old models, some models authentic MCM don’t have underscore. So you shouldn’t distinguish MCM authenticity with just the serial numbers. Because letter can come first and later as well. You can check my post about authenticity. One of those example photos, authentic one doesn’t have Letter or number with underscore, replica does. 🤣

Sep 01Reply

hotboom @ritachkas also you should check all my listings I’ve sold. They are all authentic from the store or MCM company in Korea. You can learn about MCM products with all detail photos I posted! Have to take a look how fonts are engraved and the tag inside, model numbers, leather, patterns and hardware.. etc. should take a look everything on the bag.

pinklovesgreen @hotboom Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it. I really thought it was authentic. Lesson learned 😔. I will be removing the listing now since I don’t want to sell it if its not authentic. Again, thank you very much ❤️

acrod85 Hi @hotboom I found an MCM small backpack at a thrift store. If I post pics would you be able to let me know if it’s authentic?

rachel2426 @hotboom hi! I just found your post and I went through step by step and I think my bag is authentic. If I post some photos would you look at them and tell me your opinion as well?
