*CLOSED* Authenticate This KATE SPADE

[marissk]

Thank you so much. I'm still learning how to do things here. So what price range could I put on this one? I checked ebay but there aren't many to compare. Are there other sites I could look at that sell designer bags? Gosh I've got so much to learn. I have 3 more handbags to research: A Ferragamo, a Cartier and a wallet to match and then some kind of white resin hard purse that looks like mother of pearl.

I searched eBay for Essex Scout bags in orange that have sold and typically, the price is between $175 and $200. When listed over $200, the tend not to sell. You can use the search feature (I searched for Essex Scout Orange), but before searching, click the link for Advanced Search. Scroll down and you'll see a checkbox for "Completed Listings"; that way you can see what was listed, what sold (in green) and what didn't sell (in red). That will help you determine what people are willing to pay for what you have...depending on condition, of course!

Hi! I found a kate spade bag at a thrift store in Kansas city & want to make sure if it is real of not. The leather label appears to be stitched on, not glued- I couldn't get a good picture of the detail. Also, the hardware on the zipper, straps, & feet have the ks logo on them. The interior is a navy/gold polka dot pattern. Thanks!

H...your link isn't working. But...from what you told me, it sounds like what an authentic bag should feature. That lining would be called the Larabee dot. Once I see it, I can confirm one way or the other.

Marissk thank you for the tips on searching ebay. Can you tell me if this Kate Spade I showed you pictures of has a style name?

Oh, crap!!! I'm so sorry! I got your post and the post after yours mixed up!!! Geez...

OK...here's a link to an identical (but not very good condition) bag:

Even if I could remember the name of this bag, most of what's posted won't have it so searching probably won't help.

From what I've seen on eBay, for some reason, black bags don't sell well. Frankly, I think if you got $50 for it, that would be a lot. Check out this listing:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kate-Spade-...447?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2571ab097f

which is a green version of your bag. That's going for $26.50 right now, with a buy-it-now price of about $50.

You can search for kate spade noel, then narrow your search from there.

Sorry for the brain fart with the orange essex scout!

Marissk thanks again! This will be of so much help when I go into the shop tomorrow and be able to tell them what I found out. We live in a small, rural town in FL and I know we couldn't get what it's worth. But it helps to at least have a guide line!!!!! Thanks again.

Didn't need to look beyond the first photo!! It's authentic! You've got yourself a Wellesley Sam in Ruby (got one myself!); this will last you forEVER! The boarskin wears like iron. Congrats!

I don't see anything that throws up red flags here... I'd say it's authentic.

Hi ladies, I picked these up from a thrift store and they're so cute! So my question is, are they authentic??

My initial thought is that they are not authentic; the label on the heels doesn''t match the labels on the insole.

What kind of labels are on the heels?? Fabric?? Rubber??
