Hi, I've just bought this one on eBay and am waiting for it to arrive. Would you mind authenticating it for me please??

Item: Kate Spade Leather Tote Shoulder Handbag Bag
Item No. 321076042449
Seller ID: hautelook2000
Link:http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=321076042449&globalID=EBAY-AU

I have no idea whether it is a good buy or not but eBay is the simplest way to get KS in Australai (that I know of). Anyone know what season it is from?

Thank you!

I think it looks good.

Thanks for all the info. I'm totally new to Kate Spade so I'm trying to learn as much as I can to make sure I don't get duped into buying a fake! It's always my curse to end up liking discontinued bags or colors do I have to resort to buying secondhand.

Two more pictures of the same bag so you can see if it's the Grand St. Gabriel :)

The black tote looks to me like the Small Grand St. Gabriel. The larger version looked to me to be a little more angular at the ends (more trapezoidal than rectangular). I'm not sure if the layout is the same between the two sizes, but they do look vry similar. Sorry I'm not more help, but perhaps someone else will have more details. I just saw the large one in store when my friend was looking at it. Beautiful bag, though! :smile1:

I have been looking for a bright pink Kate Spade and I found this one but I have a feeling it's a fake.

First, the lining is black with light polka dots which I haven't seen before (but keep in mind that I'm a newbie so I could be totally wrong about that!). I'm used to the light background with bright dots in the Wellesley bags I've been looking at.

Secondly, one of the tips I read online for authenticating KS bags is that they usually don't have that stitched off top section (although I know I have seen one other bag that had a section like that).

The seller didn't want to post any more pictures so the attached is all I had to work with. No close ups of the license plate, feet, etc.

Is this authentic? If so, does anyone know which bag it is?

Do you happen to know the style name or number? Or maybe what collection it's from? The seller won't post the measurements so all I know about the bag is from the previous photo. I can't tell how big it is, how long the straps are, etc.

Do you really want to buy from a seller who doesn't value her buyers enough to respond to legitimate requests? If I were spending my hard-earned money, I'd give it to a good, responsive seller.

I'm sorry but I don't know the name of the bag or the measurements. I'm not familiar with a lot of KS names and I'm just helping out here when I'm able.

I hope someone else might be able to come up with a style name and measurements.

No, I really don't want to buy from someone who seems so shady and uncooperative. I was just hoping that the bargain would be worth it. It's frustrating enough when a seller doesn't list basic information like bag name and measurements, but when they are asked for that info and refuse to give it, I seriously do not want to give them any of my money. I figure they must not want to sell it very badly if they can't be bothered to get out a measuring tape.

But thank you for all of your help - I really appreciate it!

Would anyone be able to weigh-in on these earrings?

I know that, if they are indeed authentic, they would be from many years ago, but the label is what is throwing me off…I own quite of a bit of Kate Spade Jewelry and I’ve never seen a Style Number that did not begin with WB and I've never seen “KS Earrings” printed on an earring label.

Item: NWT KATE SPADE ROUND LEVEL BACK STONE EARRINGS GRAY
Item No. 261163043462
Seller ID: elecdeals08
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261163043462?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

I contacted the seller for more detail and received the following response:

They look like the outlet version of these earrings: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/kate-sp...rigin=category&BaseUrl=Handbags+&+Accessories

(The prong setting is different, which is why I say "outlet" version. KS is known to make outlet-versions of their mainline jewelry as well)

Hi all,

I bought a Kate Spade "Mint Condition" idiom bangle on ebay and I'm trying to resell it (smaller bangles just aren't my thing as it turns out). Another ebayer asked me if it was authentic.. the authenticity of it never crossed my mind. This is pretty much the same as the listing I bought it from, same seller and all:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KATE-SPADE-...404991?pt=Fashion_Jewelry&hash=item1c30a810bf

And this is my listing complete with pictures:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181094723438?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
let me know your thoughts.

I haven't been able to find much online regarding spotting fake idiom bangles.
