It does not look authentic to me. When comparing the photos to bags i own the zipper and lining to not do it justice. Are there any metal feet on the bottom?

Yes!
There are four tiny metal bumpers or pegs on the bottom of this purse. These are brass colored.
They measure approximately 1/8 in. Towards their ends and have the appearance of tiny golf tees.
Oh! Thank you for responding-thank you,thank you.
Thank you Lzamare.

Yeh-I thought so-I just had to be certain.
Thanks everyone.

Also, I don't think kate spade puts metal tags on fabric bags, just fyi in the future.

The China tag is a give away, im sorry i dont think your bag is Authentic.

as for the post regarding the metal type tag, there are a few lines that do put them on, well sort of metal tags. **added* tag is actually leather incased in 14K gold plating)

is the Belmount collection

this is not my auction, bad pics, i have the same bag in another color, and the hardware studs are embedded with the noel logo. (see pic #3,)


i attached a pic of mine, this one you can see the Noel on the studs.

Yeah, I've seen metal tags on some other small clutches too, but I was saying that I don't think they ever come on fabric items.

Thanks to all you for your help & guidance.
Thank you.

Another Sam style, can you take pics of the inside tag?, the handles are leather correct? it looks authentic, but i really need to see the inside lining & tiny tag with the numbers on it.

ah.. your correct, the fabric items i have seen have the black sewn on tag with the silver threading

I don't have photos of the lining, but it is striped with pink, blue, green and purple, varying shades and stripe sizes. And the only tag I could find is white fabric with "Made in China" On it. So if this is a SAM style, but any idea what year? Like I said, i am a newbie, so any help is greatly appreciated!

most every kate spade bag I own or have reviewed has a buried tag inside. almost hard to find. with a shiny halogram ksny in shiny thread. the made in china tag is usually not white.

I can suggest to take it into a kate spade store or email the photo to their CS dept.

without close up pics of the hardware, lining and inside tags, me personally can't tell.

but when I mentioned the style it is similar to the SAM.

maybe someone else on this board might chime in.

good luck im sorry I couldn't help you more.
