Hi everyone! My first post ever here on the purse forum! :)

I was poking around a vintage/goodwill store today in a REALLY rich/nice area and as I was digging through the purse bin, I came across a small black purse with a kate spade tag on the outside. I was hoping the wise people here could tell me if this was a fake or not. I have done some reasearch about the label, and the label on the outside is IDENTICAL (in my opinion) to real kate spades. I am assuming it is pretty old (Maybe 10 years?) because there are no pouches on the inside for a cell phone or anything like that and there is nothing similar to be bought online with any google search I have done. I've attached a few pictures (a few of the label and a couple of the bag itself):

Please be honest with me, as I don't care either way! :) I just want to know if I got the deal of the century in only paying 6 dollars for it.

^ sorry, it is a very fake Sam or Small Tote style. The tab with the snap on Sam is much wider. Your bag also has hardware for detachable long shoulder strap. A no-no! :tdown: This is common feature on fake but not on real bags.

Cool, thanks for the eval. :) I figured it was fake (who would give a real one to GoodWill?), but since I was in a super rich area, I figured I'd take a chance anyways.

Still a good deal at 6 bucks!:yahoo:

Uh,hi.
Gee I received such personal and nuturing attention the last time that I was here I wonder if I dare attempt another specific query.
Now. I know that this forum is for Kate Spade yet I'm not exhibiting an attached image of a K.S. handbag (or any other known designer for that matter).
No. What I am showing is a handbag without tags that may have meant something to people in a bygone era.
Since there are a number of people at this forum whom are quite knowledgeable about purse or accessory couture I thought I could access someones' organic memory files concerning handbag history and fill me in or perhaps kindly direct the way to a database which would tell me what I need to know?
*This image comes in two parts since apparently the pic file is too large to be attached at once.

It's great that you had a good experience on the ks authentication board, but the same people will probably also be in the general handbags section; you will get much better help there and it helps to keep the threads topical to post your request in the applicable section (I hope that doesn't sound harsh--just trying to help point you in the right direction).

Hello

Can anyone tell me if this is a real Kate Spade Bag?
