Hi all! So glad to have stumbled upon this. Im having trouble finding articles on how to spot fake vintage Kate spade. I recently wanted to own a vintage nylon 90/00s Kate spade Sam bag. Found one on poshmark claiming to be authentic for $25. I’m like ok great pics looked good. Now that it arrived I’m unsure. I’m normally good at sniffing out fakes but this has me stumped. This bag is also pretty stiff for being vintage and the front seems to have a cardboard in it that makes a kind of noise when I push the inside of the bag outwards. I’m leaning towards fake but I hope I’m wrong! What do you ladies think? Any help is appreciated :smile: thanks!

Hi - i am sorry for jumping in on your post but am unsure how to start a new thread as i am new in the community.

I purchased a Kate Spade Margaux Medium Bag - Deep Cherry on Ebay.
There are a few things which have made me question whether this is genuine.
There are 2 areas on the hardware of strap which has tarnished - supposedly if genuine, this should not happen.
I have read - The ‘T’ in ‘Kate Spade’ should always align with the ‘N’ in New York, and the ‘K’ in New York should always be paralleled with the ‘A’ in ‘Spade.’ On the lining of this bag the letter K (as in York) is not paralleled with the A, it is offset to the right slightly.
On the MADE IN label it states VIETNAM but then there is another VIETNAM below the first.
I cannot see the YKK stamped on the zips but will have a thorough check again later.
Apart from this - the bag looks nice but maybe that means the ones who produce the fakes are getting quite good at it.

Hi all! New around here, but I'm glad I found this forum! My mother-in-law gave me this Kate Spade bag because she knows I love Kate Spade, but for the life of me, I cannot find any information about this style and have no idea if it's authentic. When I do a Google lens search, it pulls up one photo that looks like the same bag, but it takes you to a broken link. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, Hoping for some help from the experts. The leather seems really nice, the tag is sewn in, the logo lines up but I don't see a style label and I'm not sure about the hardware - there is no branding anywear. Bought it on Poshmark.
Thank you!

I bought this second hand. I’m suspicious it may be fake. Can you take a look please?

Good day, may I kindly ask if this bag is authentic? It was given to me when I was in the USA. It has a cardboard-like, flexible type of material but gets deformed. It gets particularly heavy when I put in some things inside. And as you can see a sloppy application of the adhesive was used as well. And it's really large - 19in wide. Hope someone can help me, thank you in advance.

I have a similar one, different color I’m curious about
