Is MCM made in Korea authentic?

1 Answer
Is MCM made in Korea authentic?
Yes, MCM made in Korea may be authentic. Although MCM is a German luxury fashion house, select pieces have come from factories in South Korea and Italy since 2005, so a piece bearing a tag that lists one of these places of manufacture may be authentic. However, more goes into authentication than simply double-checking the origin tag. Familiarizing yourself with the identifying characteristics of genuine MCM pieces of the type you hope to authenticate can help you evaluate your item. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or other expert assist you with the process. Shop a variety of MCM pieces on 1stDibs.
