Can anyone tell me if any of these are "real"? I went a little nuts on eBay last week, and it never crossed my mind that these could be counterfeit until it was too late. (My excuse? I've never purchased anything "designer" before in my life, but I *am* thoroughly, admittedly, and dangerously addicted to buying books. Which I may also have a tendency to lose, then buy new copies, find the old one, lather, rinse, repeat, until I have unintentional displays of, say, 14 copies of Anne of Green Gables.
Anyway, my husband had a minor tantrum over that really small, miniscule,barely-worth-noticing issue last month & told me to A. stop buying books, and B. "stop buying #%£*! off Amazon." So I took him literally. Moral of the story? Don't shop angry.)
I'm hoping these links work; I'm copying them from the eBay listings--please let me know if you need more info.
I bought three different "Kate Spade" items:
The first was a used nylon, green, "Claire" bag, which came with a partial price tag:

The second is a wallet:

And the third is the one I'm most concerned about. It's a shiny patent leather; the auction says "plum" but in the light it's a bright purple, with brown/tan leather piping, ties, and bottom, vinyl-esque feeling lining in lighter color tan with purple polka dots, but I can't find a similar style in any of my online searches: the handles are black nylon (canvas?), and it has two more straps with gold clips/leather trim hidden in side pouches that look like they were maybe meant to help convert to shoulder strap. (If anyone can tell me wth those clips are for, I'll totally send you a free copy of Anne of Green Gables. It's driving me nuts.)

Thank you!!!!!
This one is fake; the lettering on the label is wrong. Sorry!Would you mind authenticating this handbag? Thank you for your help.
#1, the Claire is authentic. I love Claire...such a nice classic design.
#2, the wallet is also authentic.
#3, the DIAPER BAG, is also authentic!! That's what the straps are for, so you can sling the bag over the handles of a stroller or pram. It's quite nice! I use the straps to attach my handbag to the handle of the grocery cart so no one can abscond with my bag whilst I'm squeezing the tomatoes.
... with Marissk. This isn't authentic. There's never been a ks purse like this... and if you see any ks purse with a band around the top, you can be it's fake. See http://ihatecounterfeitbags.info/newhallofshame.
