Yup. Same here.

Here's another. (It looks like Bonz needs to be checked by someone who knows KS!!)

I have no idea.

So fake! The label is not only fake, but it's glued on crookedly! I notice the listing shows "Kate Spade Style", which when translated means "Hey, this is fake!".

Can some please tell me if these 2 bags are authentic? I'm leaning towards fake for the first one because I have never seen it in an olive color. I've posted the links below. Thanks for your help!

Authenticator-in-training here:

It would cost a counterfeiter a fortune to make this so accurately. The gold dot lining and the zipper pull are very accurate on both bags, as are the handle hardware. Labels look accurate as well.

I'm familiar with both of these sellers and they have always been reputable.

The counterfeiters haven't seem to taken on some of these new styles as it's probably too costly.

I'm craving that olive color bag...

Thanks for your help! The olive bag is beautiful. I can't seem to find that color listed anywhere. The katespade.com and amazon.com websites only list the colors Black, Goose, Teal, & Cajun Toffee. I saw the Cajun Toffee at the Kate Spade store yesterday and fell in love with it. Thanks again for your help.

Those are the Fall 2011 colors. I believe the olive was Fall 2010. I love the toffee and teal colors!

Please authenticate this Kate Spade. Material feels like wool. Purchased this on ebay a while back and was told authentic. I always thought authentic until I really looked at the bottom and one end seems to be a little "off" as far as the seam. There are no tags inside that say "kate spade". Its pretty plain inside just with a black lining, one zippered compartment. It also has that "fold" on top of the bag which snaps close. TIA

Could someone please let me know if this is fake or real? My initial thought was it was real because the label looks comparable to some of the authentic ones on ihatecounterfeitbags.info, but then again I haven't really been able to find any that look like this. I got it at a yard sale a few months back for like a dollar, so I'm not really out anything on it.

Inside is brown canvas type of material and the only tag inside that I can find is a white Made in China tag.

Unfortunately, it is a total counterfeit. kate spade only made ONE collection with a thin, leather bow-- the Hatteras in 2001-- and that collection included nothing tweed or brown or in that shape. After that collection came out, the counterfeiters went nuts with that bow. To see the real Hatteras, go to http://ihatecounterfeitbags.info/fall2001hatteras.

Two more things... those cone-shaped metal feet are never on a genuine kate spade... and actually, the font on the label is completely inaccurate... :smile1: Hope this helps!

I think this is authentic but not sure enough to not need confirmation.

TIA.
