Hello everyone! I'm new to forums- I'm not the most "tech savvy" person, so I apologize if I've done this incorrectly. I recently found a Kate Spade bag in some boxes in my closet, and I was hoping someone could help me authenticate this bag. I can't remember where I got the bag from, or from whom I received the bag. It's a canvas tote with leather trim. I've been able to narrow the pattern to the "madagascar" collection- but the only info online is for a bathroom line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, could you please help authenticate this kate spade bag? Looks like it would be a great laptop bag but the tag looks like an older style: http://shop.housingworks.org/lot.cfm?lotID=90283
I would be a little hesitant on this bag- some of the pictures are very clear and others look like they were left "intentionally" blurry- like around the hardware. I'd ask to see additional pictures of the inside so you could see the "Made In..." tag and also if there the other tag with the hologram thread. I have only recently (last 12 months) started my designer purse collection, and I am always overly cautious about such a great deal.

I'm not a KS authenticator but I do have some knowledge and I disagree with Tatergirl1979. I see absolutely nothing that raises red flags in that listing. My opinion is that the bag from housingworks is authentic.

What's missing from the photos is a close up of the hardware (rivets?) on the straps, e.g., in the second photo, the rivets are too blurry to see clearly. I would also like to see a photo of the "kate spade" label on the inside of the bag; showing the lining is not enough to tell. I agree with BeenBurned that there is nothing that raises a red flag to me, but I would also agree that there is not enough detail in the photos to confirm one way or another.
 
Can anyone tell me if this KS is real? Thanks.

Hi PurseForum, my husband picked up this Kate Spade bag at a thrift store. I thought it was a really good replica - it has a small holograph strip - but when I showed a friend my 'sweet gift' and she said that's no fake! Seriously, 'Lindenwood Antoinette' needs some eyes on it! What do you think? Thanks, Kits Kitty

I think your friend is right. It's authentic.
