Just as an FYI for those of you looking for the cashew-colored quilted maryanne, Saks has it for $333 now (and you can take an extra 10% off if you sign up for their mailing list): http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main...Spade+New+York&N=1553+306418110&bmUID=jm1z7VZ

I just ordered one from Endless taking advantage of their 20% off and no shipping charges. The offer expired yesterday, so I had to make up my mind quickly. Compared to the sale at Saks, I spent about $50 more.:pout:

I'd lauch someone into orbit if they wrote on the inside of my bag! Even the outlet stores don't do that.

I'm also a bit concerned about the damage to the corners. Whilst you could touch that up easily (shoecaresupplies.com has the best polishes!), why spend that kind of $$ for something that someone didn't care for very well.

I think the numbers are an indication this was part of a sample sale. I've seen other bags marked in such a manner. Hopefully, Miss Dawn will give her opinion of those marks, but they wouldn't come from a retailer. It is, however, authentic.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was thinking. The seller wasn't very honest. I asked him point blank if he got it from a discount chain and he said no. After that, I felt I couldn't trust him, and also, I didn't like the scuff marks in the bottom. That bag wasn't treated well by its owner.

Hi ladies, could you please help me authenticate this Kate Spade Essex Scout (small) bag in Caribbean Blue? I bought it a while ago from eBay but still have some nagging doubts.
Thanks so much - really appreciate the wealth of knowledge here!
Please let me know if you need more / clearer photos, this is my first time posting.

if you are worried about the authenticity of the bag due to the fact the interior is unlined, that's actually how it's supposed to be. What raises red flags to you?

Hi - I'm not an expert, but I just received the ones I ordered for my mom and sis. Overall they match up. The only difference I see is the logo patch on the inside pocket. The ones I ordered had the gold Spade emblem. However, I think in one of the recent posts, someone commented that they switched over to using the Spade emblem from the leather patch.

Hope it's real - great color!!

It's absolutely authentic. I compared it to my own Essex Scout (in the same color) and it's correct.

Counterfeiters haven't tried reproducing anything other than horrible ugly bags with bows stuck to them. I've yet to see any kind of counterfeit to complete with the Essex Scout.

Yes! This is a great, authentic bag! It's beautiful!

Thank you so much everyone! I was a bit unsure because of the lack of lining, but am super reassured after hearing all your comments.
And yes, I love the color! Had a hard time deciding between caribbean blue and pink but this won out in the end. :)
