What makes you think it's a fake?

Hi Morisa,

Its the lining, handle, country of origin tag.

Did some comparison with the bag with photos on ks website and Amazon, and in need of confirmation from the trained eyes on this forum.

Lining
The product description on ks website says it has spades and dots lining. You can clearly see the spades on the lining from the Amazon photos.

From Amazon:

Mine is dotted with no spades:

Handle
The hole spacing and number of holes on the handle.

On ks website:

Mine:

Oh.. and no dust bag with plastic cover on the handle, as its sold as factory seconds from a friend of a friend...

I don't see anything that indicates that it's fake.

Often outlet bags use slightly different materials than boutique/website items. Also, final products can differ slightly from stock photos as the company might tweak or change details prior to putting items into production.

I dont think it is fake either... unless there are clearer indications you can find.

also, regarding country of origin, kate spade makes all of their bags in china. and they also have factory rejects in china, which may have slight differences to the ones that go on the shelf.

there's your answer. It's not a fake, it's a factory second.
