That's an authentic bag. Some things you should look for in this bag, which I believe is a Tarrytown Quinn in boarskin with a dot Noel lining, are easy to spot. First, on the top of the bag, where the seams come together, notice that they are reinforced with a little tab of leather that is carefully stitches. That's a feature on every Quinn. Next is that the inside leather around the zipper has an integrated gold-embossed label...that's also a sign of an authentic bag.

If that goes for $50, someone is gonna get a BARGAIN!! It listed for probably $375.

I'll yield to Dawn's expertise, but this one has a few "red lights" for me. First is the label. The letters don't all seem to sit on the imaginary line at the same level. Also, the 's' and 'p' seem too close together, something Kat cautions us about. Next is the zipper. On my piped linen basket, the zipper is black, but the slider is silver tone and the zipper pull is leather. The snap on my bag has no engraving on it at all. And of course, the red leather "Made in Italy" isn't shown; it should be sewn centered under that zipper. Also, my bag is stitched inside in white thread, not red.

Granted this bag isn't a basket, but the finishing on my basket is impeccable, especially around where the flap is sewn and around the zipper.

How far off am I?? I can post photos of my basket if you want to compare.

I asked bag Salad the price of their Gold coast maryanne it costs around $187 or P8,000. I asked if they accepts lay away and they said yes. I was skeptical then. I even made some research on the net because I can hardly determine if it's real or not. Thank God I found this thread because the price is too good to be true.. :)

Did the bag come with the little green KS tag on it? (It should have if it came from TJ Maxx). The tag will have the name of the collection and the bag on it.

It's totally going to bug me that I can't recall the name of the bag. I've seen the nylon version of it a few times; it was on sale via the KS website a few months ago!

Hi all! So I have been eyeing this baby at my local Marshall's and finally decided to take the plunge- http://photobucket.com/albums/s393/pilklara89/katespade.

Can someone authenticate/ID this bag for me? I'd love to know her name! My favorite part might be the inside, it looks like a whole story written inside <3
