I'm new, but mostly Coach. I have had the following handbag for at least five years. Don't use it much because it seems rather fragile. Since I've found this wonderful resource, I would appreciate you letting me know if the handbag is authentic Kate Spade. Bought her from a consignment store I've been going to for years.

Also, is there any way to find out if she has a style number or name? If not, that's fine. Just thought I would check.

Thank you for your assistance.

Wow...an actual REAL bag from the Hatteras collection!! This is without doubt, the most faked collection ever, but she is indeed The Real Thing...completely authentic. I believe she's a "Sydney" from Fall of 2001. A rare beauty!! Congrats!

Thank you. I'm amazed. I appreciate the information and will keep this delightful bag in my collection.

I was sitting at home regretting that 1) many years ago I donated a great 80's USA coach bag to Goodwill beause I didn't know I could get them to repair it and 2) several years ago I sold a wonderful Givenchy bangle from the mid-70's because I needed to raise cash.

You have considerably perked up my evening! (I don't feel good from two vaccinations...so, I'm sort of droopy anyway).

Well, I am a paid kate spade authenticator for several online and local consignment companies, so I think I'm pretty reputable... lol!
However if you want paperwork, you can pay mypoupette.com to do it! :)

Oops! Sorry, my apologies as I did not know! I'm new to this website!

I was very upset because I sold this item on ebay and I was sure it was authentic (I did not know they made fake Kate Spade! and it was a gift from a long time and never used because I did not find it practical!! Even less so now with kids!! I just hook my keys onto whatever I'm wearing! heehee!) but the buyer said it was fake and had written proof! This is definitely an older item and I am not sure if that is the reasoning for the claim of non-authenticity but she is now sending the item back. The item is new but not in the best of new condition as it was never stored properly and does contain some wrinkles, scratches, etc. I think some of the gold lettering was rubbed off after being stacked underneath items and moved around so much the last few years. Would that be any indication that it might not be authentic as well? I am just really puzzled as to how this can be fake! Unless I have been truly "dummified" with my mommybrain nowadays, it looked like real leather!

I am just not happy to think I sold a replica so am seeking information to somehow have this authenticated for my peace of mind and for Ebay should anything be required for this transaction.

Thank you kindly for all your help!!

If I were you, I'd just take it back and refund the seller's money. I would also ask for a copy of the paperwork. Then, just for your peace of mind, I'd have it authenticated by an online authentication company.

Yes, it is authentic. It's exactly what she says it is.
Here it is on kate spade's site. http://www.katespade.com/primrose-hill-goldie/PXRU3189,default,pd.html
