NEED HELP ASAP! I purchased the balenciaga city, link below. It can in looks great, feels great, i read almost every website possible to compare if it real, and it passed every test. However, there is 1 HUGE issue, it has a distinct smell, not a leather smell, it has this weird moldy type smell, and its a new bag, from the # it cant be older than 2009-2010. So, after receiveing the bag I emailed the owner and told her the smell is not going away and if nothing is done I will open a claim. She emailed me and appologized and stated she would refund me 125 to get it cleaned. I purhased the bag for 570, that being said, it was a great deal, however, now that shes SO willing to refund me 125 to clean it, im starting to think its a really really good fake. I cant tell, but the hardware, the #'s, the leather, the handles, the zipper, the stiching is perfect. So im not sure whether to:
1. Open a claim to get a fullr refund because no1 would sell for that amount a real bag?
2. Take the 125 and try getting the bag cleaned?
Please HELP!! or ADVISE!!

I purchased this bag back in May, and after reading this forum, I am convinced it is a fake. It says, Made in Vietnam, is that correct? Please give me your opinion.

Item:
KATE SPADE BLACK LEATHER TOTE PURSE LIME GREEN LINING GREAT LOOKING 15X10.5
Listing number: 290708557619
Seller: ilovemykids62

Thanks.
It's authentic. The label on the exterior is just as it should be with those two little 'dots' on either side. The label on the interior is also correct as it is sewn all around and embossed in gold with the correct label. When I first looked at the bag, I said to myself "that better have the green dot Noel lining", and it does. The exterior leather is also dot Noel, but it is punched, which is correct.

As for made in Viet Nam, that would not surprise me. All of the kate spade bags are made in the far east now, so that's not a concern.

So...rest assured...you've got an authentic bag at a very good price. Enjoy!

Thank you very much Marissk. I do appreciate that you give of your time to do what you do on here.
 
I would like to sell this bag on eBay, if it is real... of which I am 98 percent sure it's the real deal. I took the best picture my camera has to offer:(
The bag smells like leather inside also. The bag is like a powder blue small rectangle.
It has a beige with black dot interior and measures 5 x 10 x 5 with a 6" long handle.

Any information would be super:)

Really appreciate any help - love the bag and it looks good, but I'd love any help from the experts here.

ebay listing title: Kate Spade Bag $695 Nordstrom
listing #: 190691820408
seller id: parenteducator
http://www.ebay.com/itm/19069182040...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_500wt_1287

The seller states she was the original buyer/owner of this Sao Paolo and seems quite legit, but you can never be sure.

In addition to the pictures in the listing, here are a few more (sorry for the quality, I had a very hard time with the reflections on the patent leather):

Thanks!!
