Yay!! After looking at the bags in the Kate Spade Hall of Shame thread, I thought this was too pretty to be a fake! Thank you!
I need help with the name of this bag. I purchased on eBay and am a bit disappointed. The pics make it actually look nicer. In person, it's in dire need of a rehab job. It smells weird and very filthy inside and out. Of course the leather will need to be cleaned/shined to bring back it's lustre.
I think it's real. My camera takes horrible pics. iPhone probably wouldve taken better ones but used my Canon crappy one instead.
The hologram is on the label and has the same font size....even the engraved logo on the hardware matches up but I am stumped on the name of bag.
I am not sure if I want to keep it. It's smaller than I thought (I read the measurements on listing, but it still looks smaller than I thought it would be) and just downright disappointed that I have to put more money into this bag. I hope it's worth the $56 I paid for it. I never fight for bags on ebay but this one looked nice and I am looking for a medium sized basic leather tote....and prefer KS because her line is so classy looking.
Please help...signed....bummed and disappointed in Texas....

It is definitely authentic. It seems to be boarskin.

I googled "Kate Spade Boarskin" and found it...it's the Sam Boarskin 2001 bag - I believe that is Kat's site that I found it on. The "Ihatefakes" site. Thanks a million. At least I know it's real...and it's supposed to look that way - well, still needs to be cleaned up but I think I will keep it.
I have that same bag and it is the fall 2001 Sam in boarskin. The leather will clean up very well as it's pretty indestructible. The inside of mine is pretty darn clean because I've always used Tintamar purse organizers, which also make it really easy to change bags just about every day, which I do.Thank you!!!

The best leather polishes I've found are made by Tarrago (I found them online at shoecaresupplies.com). It will come back nicely!
Oh, this bag is gorgeous and it's in my FAVORITE color!! 
Is it authentic?

Yup! It is authentic! I have this purse in a smaller style. I don't remember the year or collection name, though!

Thanks...I will look into that and clean it myself and save money so I can buy a cute Kate Spade wallet or tote!
Hey ladies...need your expert advice again. I recently got on a Kate Spade kick and was excited when I found this today and had to buy before authenticating! I think it's real, but don't have the knowlege or collection to back it up like y'all! The hollogram appears to read Kate Spade something (I think I need readers now!Yikes!) and the font looks right but again....I am still a baby Kate Spade follower!!!
Found it at an upscale resale shop. I hope it's real because I think it's soooo pretty!
Took pics with my iPhone 4 (not as great as 4S but hey, it at least took pics, right?)
Is it real and what is it?

I vote fake. The hardware is just too gaudy.

Me thinks it's from the "Claverly" collection; it's a Remy continental wallet.
