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.

If you purchased from the seller in China, my guess is 99.999% that it's fake. I don't know whether the bracelet in the seller's listing is authentic nor do I know whether it's the actual item you received.

It's very risky to buy designer items from China, especially when you want to resell them and your own reputation is at stake.

My guess is that eemcc1122 sells too many highly faked items in quantities and prices that are unrealistic.

Ah thanks for the heads up. I bought it when I was newer to ebay and then it arrived looking pretty authentic to me, so I didn't question it. I'll take it down.

The bangle in your listing does not look quite right. The "mint condition" bangle was a minty-green color, and much thinner. See http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/kate-spade-new-york-idiom-bangle-mint-condition?ID=630928

This is listed as an Elena but the polka dot lining is purple and yellow (rather than the pink and red I normally see). It has magnetic snap closure which I haven't seen on an Elena before. Lastly, the edges of the license plate and the handles appear to be red (in the third photo) which I haven't come across. I'm new to KS so is this just an older version of the Elena?

Hmm. It might be a very old version of the bag. The hardware rivets look correct, but the "shape" looks a little more tapered than what the style looks like now. Agreed on your other comments as well.
