I asked her for a close up of the label; here it is. I also have a much larger photo that I can't upload.

It's all good. After it sold, the buyer informed her that it was fake and asked to cancel the transaction. (Don't ask me how I know!) SO, she did cancel it. Then she relisted the purse, but eBay pulled it! HA HA HA.
Can anyone authenticate these three Gold Coast Maryanne's I am watching on ebay?

Thanks!
I really wants me a Maryanne!
I don't think the counterfeiters have taken on some of the new quilted and pierced construction kate has introduced. They're too busy with plaid, sushi, and cowgirl Sam knockoffs! Oh, and those bags with the stupid bow...

I'm sporting my dungaree Quinn today. Not sure about the big ole bow, but I do love this bag!
Ok, so I'm guessing from the "Ahas!" and "WTH!" with pics and examples, I may have purchased a fake... Just a guess, mind you. It's kinda cute for one of my little nieces if it IS fake, so I'm not upset...just curious. This is my pic, BTW. Hers wasn't much clearer. Black denim with a black/white small check inside; nothing flashy, no bathing beauties with fake tags glued to their heads, no cherries (seriously!?). The only identifier is the KS tag on the outside (sewn). No inner hologram tag/# tag, no origin tag. And it needs a good cleaning. So what do you think?

Sorry, not authentic. But I'm sure your niece won't mind!
You might want to post this on the Authenticate this...LV page; this page is about kate spade.
OK...so this doesn't strike me as authentic. The seller says "zebra", but the Tiger faille from fall 2000 is the closest thing I can remember, but this doesn't look right. The letter "a" in the label doesn't look right, and the "Sam" tab doesn't look right. Seller says this retailed for $795...I've never seen an $800 Sam before.

ETA: Oh, and whilst I'm honing my authentication skills, this doesn't strike me as the way a Sam is constructed. The side panels should be sewn to the front and back panels, not the way this is seamed together in the middle of the side panel.
Feelin' smug...getting better at this, so shoot me down or pat me on the back!

This wouldn't be a SAM due it's small size, but I think what would be called a basket or small tote, it if was authentic, which it is not.
The tiger collection was lined in red or tiger stripe, I believe, and most of them have the KS label on the side. Plus the stitching on this bag is not something KS would produce, and the handles would not be tiger stripe; they would be black.
