Sorry you didn't get any responses. I'm not a KS expert so I didn't want to comment in case someone who knew better showed up.

I do believe that the bag is authentic.

I recieved this in a clothing swap and wanted to confirm it is real. It has silver writing inside the zipper part, so maybe a sample?

Thank you!!!

I'm not an official authenticator, but I'm not on the fence about this bag. It's fake. This appears to be a knockoff Sam with tab. First, the leather should be boarskin (highly textured) and not smooth. Next, the embossed logo should be in gold and should be much higher, not 1/4 of the way down the bag. Next, (and the KEY clue) there appears to be a sewn-on tab inside. That tab should never be sewn to the bag as part of the zipper seam; it should have 4 rounded corners and be embossed with the kate spade logo (in gold) and perhaps have the country of origin (Made in Italy, Made in China). And it would be sewn all the way around just under the zipper opening.

I'd bet my Hagen-Daz on this being fake, but I'm sure the official authenticators will weigh in as well.

Samples usually have the word SAMPLE written inside, but I can tell you that this does appear to be completely authentic. The boarskin leather is correct, the D rings that attach the strap have the correct embossed kate spade name, and everything else appears to be correct.

I've still got my training wheels on so I'd wait for the authentic authenticators chime in, but fakes never have this level of detail. The style appears to be a Pia, but it's hard to tell from the small photos.

Awesome thank you! Or not awesome but you know what I mean. I felt it was not right, even though it is not entirely cheap to the touch, but without the right tags inside, plus the low logo embossing made me leary.
