Yes, I still vote authentic (and to mzedith: the inner zipper pull has the noel design on it--but good eye, I hadn't thought of that).

yes. authtentic, noel and KS NY embossed on the front, the gold ksny print on the inside patch, and the Noel on the under side of the zipper. those close ups are very helpful. nice color too. love that strip lining as well!

This is my first time posting... I think I'm posting in the right spot, if not, I'm sorry!! Basically I found this today at a thrift here in NYC, pretty sure it was a fake (the "made in Taiwan" tag made it seem, well, obvious...this tag is on the inside, couldn't fit the pic into this post) but when I got back and checked online, I'm sort of on the fence. I see that someone posted a very similar-looking bag only a few days ago and it was a fake (the "Sam tote w/ tab")... but the tab on mine is wider. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it! :) Thanks so much.

Thanks so much! No biggie, I figured there was no way a real Kate spade bag could still be on the shelves, on a Sunday afternoon, at $5..hah. Ah well :)

I'm not sure that is fake. Some bags were made in Taiwan and the front label looks fine where you have the closeup. If you take a closeup of the whole front label and inside one too, I think it might be easier to tell.

i agree with sara_g it is authentic. everything looks perfect to me. is front tag sewn on? if so

[mzedith]

here is my conflict.

the tag on the outside the "N" in New York the stitching is broken. In fact most of the stitching on the front tag is not clean. There are several breaks.

there is not a similar tag sewn on the inside just below the inside zipper compartment.

here is an authentic Kate Spade tag (On the outside of an Authentic KS Sam & on the inside of the same bag), the outside tag is blurry but you can see the difference between the stitching of this tag vs. the one posted by Mandrake.

If you check out this page on kate spade labels, you'll see that the older tags did have those breaks in them. Farther down the page it also says that the nylon collection was made in Taiwan from about 1997-1999.
