*CLOSED* Authenticate This KATE SPADE

[ballet_russe]

Unfortunately I did my homework AFTER purchasing on eBay and discovered how prevalent fake handbags are. I think this is probably a fake partly because I paid so little for it ~$45 w/ shipping. I feel obligated to let the seller know if it is. Can anyone here help me out?

that's real. everything looks good. the newer leather bags have zipper hardware like yours, with that little leather pull that's embossed with the stylized KS logo. your bag also has "larabee dot" lining.

it's mostly the nylon bags that are faked, and there are some nondescript pleather fakes, but they usually have incorrect hardware and lining.

Holy cow, I can't believe it. I was up until 2:00 am this morning reading about fake purses, wishing I had done so BEFORE bidding. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hi everyone, is this authentic? This is the only picture I have from the seller. I can try to ask for more if there are features that would easily help identify if it's a fake or not. Thanks!

Definitely fake. No more pictures necessary.

Agreed.

Oops - I guess I'm supposed to post this here: I can't tell if it is afake, but it is really well made constructed, but look at the "hem" of the purse and the uneven checkers.

I'm almost positive that's fake. I could tell you better though if you have a clear closeup of the label (but I'm pretty sure all it will do is confirm it's fake).

That's what I'm thinking too. Here's a closeup.

Yup, fake.

I'm pretty sure this is authentic. The hardware is right (little feet and zipper pull), as is the pattern of the perforation, the name tag, and the lining. I also recognize the shape as typical Kate Spade. You just got a really good deal!
