Not a KS expert but based on my knowledge, I think it looks good.

Please wait for Dawn and/or Marissk.

Ok thanks BB!! I agree with you too, but wanted a sanity check. No worries - we can't expect you to be an expert in all of our faves!! It's amazing what you do and I definitely appreciate your "opinion" ;)

Recently got a Kate Spade wallet for pretty cheap on ebay. Looks pretty real and feels real when I got it, but the care card is a little off. Some of the text isn't centered. I know I might be coming off as a bit picky but ever since I realized that 99% of bags on ebay are fake, I started to wonder about my purchase. Is this normal, or a clear sign of a fake card?

Can you post pictures of the wallet and the card?

The hardware on the back zipper pull looks correct, and the tag on the dress looks like the tags on my KS shirts/dresses/skirts. Which is why I said it looked good to me. :smile1:

The made in China tag on the listing http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages...103861&formats=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0&format=0

looks a little different than another listing with paper tags http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages...65,609563521,609563587&formats=0,0,0&format=0

The made in China isn't centered on the tag like the listing with the paper tags.

Also just realized the pattern is a little different. I didn't notice it until a few minutes ago. The solar pattern is centered in new with tags one but not centered in the dress without tags.

Should I be worried?

Thanks.

From the looks of it, it looks like the ebay dress is a factory "second" -- as in, it's probably made from the same materials and whatnot, but it's a "second" because the solar pattern does not line up correctly and there may have been a misprinting in the alignment of the tag.

If you are really concerned, why don't you get it from Zappos? http://couture.zappos.com/kate-spade-new-york-mariam-dress-pool-solar It's about $35 more but has free shipping, and the same sizes are in stock.

I know but Zappos doesn't have the solar print in sizes 4 or 6. I did a lot of googling for the dress XD

Thanks for the help!

I bought a Gold Coast Elizabeth off Amazon and the tag on the inside zipper pocket is different from a fuschia Gold Coast Elizabeth I purchased off Ebay. The black one has a leather sewn in label while the fuschia one has a gold spade staple only on the outside of the inside pocket. I checked the Kate Spade website and I see both the gold spade staple and the leather label used for the Gold Coast line. I am a little worried but the bag looks ok to me. Can someone please help to authenticate? Thank you!!!
