The genuine MCM backpack is the latest/current version out right now and is a size medium. If you're using this video to try and authenticate an older version OR different size of the bag please be aware that you likely see minor differences in the side pocket stitching, stud quantity & straps amongst other things.

Hi Yes, in regards to the zipper. I have a genuine “small” MCM directly from Bloomingdales. It’s slightly older but the zipper does not have the stitching straight down. The stitching is all around both sides. Don’t forget they all have “YKK” engraved as well. Depending on the models, they do have very slight variations. Great video
There are 2 levels of authentic bags ( level 1 quality is for the mass productions for high end rich people) level 2 is mass productions for regular people that will spend under $500. But at the end of day....there are no differences in quality wise. I'm on bag business...so..I know.
Also on the fakes of the newer version you can tell easily if it’s fake just by looking at the leather panel cut under the straps, on fakes they’re stitched/placed lower than the real ones, real 2017/2018 mcm straps have 3 patterns cutting off, the fakes also have smaller pockets from the inside, as the real one has very large pockets, and when wearing a real one, there’s a shape every real mcm backpack has when hanging off your back while the fake one just looks like it never looses its shape and really great video for sure it helped a lot of people 💯
One Two hey boss can you help me out? Im havin trouble trying to figure out whether or not my bag is fake I’m sure it’s an older model but it’s a 12.5inch bag. Can send pics please lmk lol.
I’d like to mention that i have an mcm bag straight from mcm (The model is mcm chevron backpack) and it has only one row of stiching next to The zipper and anotherone next to The zipper so two lines of stiching next to The zipper together and in The video you say its has to be 4 but acctually it all depends on The model of The bag
@@senseishah2736 I mean a lot of us can afford it but we would just rather not spend all that money on a designer backpack. Maybe we just like it for the looks
hello ived watched your video id liked to ask if mcm toto bag must be thesame logo ? i bought mcm toto bag here in japan . from left side reverse center reverse right side forward its same like the backpack on this video fake one and has no plate no serial number no tag and zipper no logo if you have idea this is fake please help me my first time to buy this brand im not aware so in searching by myself the proof if its fake thank u in advance.
I bought a used bag and everything checks out except the straps. Mine feels a little too flimsy because it was used (lightly), but I have no clue how a deadstock bag feels. Are the straps just flimsy in general?
can someone help me?? i brought a mcm tote from mercari and the plate only has 4 numbers which one is underlined and a letter at the end. is it authentic or not?
I got a problem I bought one off some guy and everything is accurate expect for the straps the logos are going up and there’s not another set of the logos getting created and the buttons on the straps where it says MCM it’s not pointing straight down nor does it have the white tag inside and the zipper doesn’t say ykk isss it fake ?
Hello, i was wondering if anyone could help me, please :( About the real one have the stitches lined in the middle of the zip, is really true that is authentic was made that way? So i bought a bag online, and the zip also has the stitches in the middle just like how you said it was authentic that way..but i recently checked the pic on the mcm website but it was all the way around the edges :( and now i was super anxious if my bag was actually a fake..can anyone help me please :(
I have mcm stark medium size.. authentic. Leather is buttery soft and leather is smell like leather seat of an old Cadillac....smells good. Got it $200 japan surplus.
I found some MCM shoes at a thrift store I was wondering about. Are you on IG and would you be willing to take a look at some pics for me to help decide if they are real or fake?
Give me the fake and I'll put the other 700 in my savings. Good thing in the real world you not literally walking side by side with a real bag using a magnifying glass pointing out minute differences.
What's the purpose of all this if there is a serial number why can that not be searched for by the designer to confirm it's real or not like some other designers I feel like that would defeat all of this if you could just look up the serial number at or with mcm and that be all
What if the bag has +50% real features vs less than 50% fake features, would you call it a fake? I have a bag, it's the dual one, with the detachable front pouch, but the pouch and one of the attaching straps are missing. www.dropbox.com/sh/hqf7ralpx2pepz4/AAALpWPeTrKHf-oJvUw4ePcza?dl=0 I don't know if I should just let my granddaughter use it for school or try to see if it has any value even with the missing parts. 1. The pattern style of up/down matches real. 2. Zipper angle matches but with only one line of stitching 3. Zipper pulls it's just down the middle but does not have YKK. 4. MCM logo has nine leaves on both sides. I thought it was supposed to have 9 leaves on one side and 8 on the other, but I could have that backwards. 5. While the plate is well stamped and easily readable the screws are not actual screws they're just stamped on. The inside plate is just a logo, no screws and no serial number just leaves & manufacturer. 6. The straps are created by the fabric being folded over and stitched down the middle, but you can't really tell the logo on the outer straps. The fabric is stamped with the MCM logo on the adjustable part. The screws holding the strap to the adjustable part have the MCM logo. 7. In some places there is dual stitching and some places there is single stitching. 8. No dust cover Thanks for any advice!
i got a fake one and im being honest for 40€ which i buy it for its a really good quality i know the original one is way better but i mean for 40€ its really good
I dont mind buying fake/replica or knock off brands whatever you call it. It's just a bag and besides i can't afford to buy one 😁. I am a cheap person and i would rather spend my money on a holiday vacation. I don't have thousands of bucks for just a purse. It's like getting "almost" the same quality whithout breaking the bank. Money wise 💵😄. Fake bags doing its job just like what the original one does.
Hey there is this kid at my school and I'm pretty sure his mcm backpack is fake and I wasnt really able to get a great inspection all I got was that there was a line under one of the numbers and I noticed while watching this vid is that on the fake one had a line under a number but the real one didnt i was just wondering if that was another way
@@blackmagic8954 why does everyone hate on me for asking a question, it doesn't matter why I want to know, I never said I was going to call him out and roast him I just asked a simple question. I just want to see if it's real or fake, i didn't know it was a bad thing to be curious. But evidentally to you guys it is.
@@JonathonTaylor623 U going above and beyond trying to authenticate somebody's bag. We use a phrase it's u doing to much. If his bag is real or fake. Who cares? It won't affect u either way.
Not gonna lie I think the fake one look better than the real one 😂😂😂 plus I’m a truck driver and I buy knockoff all the time since I make alot of money people think it’s real anyways 😂😂😂💯
I just bought 2 fake bags, coach and mcm back pack and i am telling you they look amazing at a very cheap price. Paying 10% of what the original costs 😂

Good vid
That's a pretty good fake tho. I barely can tell
The fake version really tried it though lol the colour shade gives away
That’s a high quality replica, most replicas have ugly glossy bumpy looking leather
now i know dat the girl wearin mcms in my school are fakes thankss ma dud
Lol sound like a hater
@@lossiiburns How is he hating lmao
It's okay if she wears fake bag as long as she's doing very well at school. Wearing fake doesn't make someone less of a person..

Now the people who make the fake ones will know how to fix their mistakes... lol but good job

they wont make it as real..there will be minor detail different.
Nah they can’t
thing is its rly hard to fix the mistakes
Nahh unless they want to pay a huge fine and do jail time, they won’t

I just bought mine at the mcm store and the zipper stitching is how it is on the fake one
the real one in this video is a model from 2017/2018, mcm likes to change there model a lot, the 2020 version you have is real don’t worry .
Shit, I like the fake one (price wise) lol
Hell, a back pack is a back pack. As long as it holds my stuff 😂

I got an mcm from the store itself. The stitching on the side looks different. I thnk dpends on d model of the bag and what year it came out.
The difference shows
There are way better fakes but great video 👍🏻

What if the MCM logo is behind the plaque?
why the fake look better than the real
I dont think so. The leather is premium on the real one.
Never lmfaaoo
No way in hell. This brand he amazing leather. It would be hard to reproduce that cheaply.
No it dosent
Ur stupid
*What a ABSOLUTE VIDEO!!*
Please do another one!
EVERYTHING looks legit on mine, BUT the serial #. My serial number has 5 numbers only. Is that still good? it’s an older model
just copped a legit one thanks vro !
I bought a used bag and everything checks out except the straps. Mine feels a little too flimsy because it was used (lightly), but I have no clue how a deadstock bag feels. Are the straps just flimsy in general?
No ive used my bag every day for 5 years and it still looks good
If I'm looking at these bags on StockX, how do I determine if they are of the current year 2017/2018 models? Are there any key factors to spot?
Kyle Kieta same

Sounds like it
Where can I get a fake one like this from, because, I would not want to be scammed, even for the fake MCM. Please tell me where, I can get it from.

is mcm leather bag is synthentic leather or its from animal cow leather?
The most is made out of synthetic leather
Some Parts like the Handing Loop are made out of real leather on this backpack
I purchased ur exact one from a seller for $500 and it passes and I know it’s real cus the seller was hesitant to sell it to me
La Frenzy or he felt guilty selling you a fake bag for $500
IsaiahHndrxx • nah bro scammers don’t feel that like normal people
Give me the fake and I'll put the other 700 in my savings. Good thing in the real world you not literally walking side by side with a real bag using a magnifying glass pointing out minute differences.
I have an real mcm bag and immediately I could tell which was real and which was fake. The bag posture is a dead give awat

Nice video 💪🏻
I have a fake MCM bag 🤷🏾♀️ I still like it.
Nobody will look at the pattern thats there choice if they want fake , but at least we know the real and fake..
