*CLOSED* Authenticate This KATE SPADE

[dawnsfinallywed]

I ran across this ad on Craigslist (of all places - I was looking for an antique lamp then ventured over to handbags).

http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/clo/2762317306.html

I met up with the gal and my gut feeling told me it's a fake. She was upset when I asked how she got it and even more upset when I told her I'd have to pass it up. I knew it was too good to be true to find a Kate Spade for $25. It looked a bit off on the pic, but in person it was even weirder!

Can y'all tell me if I did the right thing following my gut about it being a fake?

Yes. This is a fake. She only used that 'bow-tie' type of ksny label on one leather collection... the 2000 Spazzolato leather collection. She's never used that tag on an animal print.

Authentic? I think it is, EXCEPT, every other wellesley barrett i've seen has a cream/tan interior, not navy. Also, I'm not sure if it's the case that everything from the wellesley line should have gold letters on the license plate, rather than just the "depressed" letters.

I'd say that this is definitely authentic. Looks good to me...

Thank you! I am glad I didn't buy it! The font on the label just looked off and so did the lining.

Thank you thank you thank you!!

I am stumped on this eelskin purse. The interior label looks not-so-good, but everything else looks good. I've never seen this purse before! HELP!

EDIT: Wait! I think I found the style: Kate Spade Varenne Jocelyn Purse (see http://www.pursepage.com/kate-spade-handbags/kate-spade-varenne-jocelyn-purse.html). It is eel skin, although that blog posting lists the colors as red and grey.

Someone posted a question on the eBay discussion forums about the kate spade Collect, but no one replied. She posted the item and apparently had a lot of info about the label being authentic, etc. It's an unusual label, but OK.

That I have no idea. It seems that the bag came out in 2007 or so; KS had a number of Jocelyn colors/fabrics. But I haven't seen a photo of the interior of one so I don't know whether they all had "collect" or what.

Here's the bag I mentioned...it's still listed.

I think it's okay too.

I've seen KS, Gucci and Coach bags where the embossed imprint has gold writing and the ink (or paint or whatever they use) oozes outside of the imprint.

looks good so far, but can you post a closeup of the license plate on the front of the bag? also a closeup of the chains on the handle and where they connect to the bag.
