You aren't being ignored. I think there isn't a regular KS authenticator here any more so in my case, I'll only post if no one else responds and if I'm sure of an item.

The bag you asked about looks fine.

As far as mentioning that it was looked at and deemed authentic here, yes, you can say it but in the event of a dispute, ebay and/or paypal may require a professional paid authentication.

Although I haven't seen those labels (with holograms) faked on KS bags, it's probably not impossible. Depending on how "good" they want to make their fakes, the counterfeiters can copy anything -- and I mean anything!! Kate Spade isn't at a price point that making 5-star fakes would be worth it, but with technology and digitalization becoming so inexpensive, again, it wouldn't be impossible to do.

Wondering if anyone would/could authenticate this mikas pond wallet bought on ebay. I have no reason to be suspicious other than the back zipper seems discolored-more of a brass color, while the zipper pull and all the other hardware is more of a light gold/silver shade. The snap has "Kane M" printed on it.

Okay, I've now polished the zipper a bit and its a lighter shade of gold, so maybe it was just tarnished, but would the other hardware be so close to a silver shade? I know it's supposed to be 14k plated...
Thanks in advance!

Because of the lighting on the photos, it's hard to tell what the color of the hardware is. Can you maybe zoom out a bit with your photos? And take the photos without flash? I will say that everything looks correct in terms of the hardware and lining. It could just be that for whatever reason, the gold plating has worn off some of the hardware.

Ah, you're right, I've tried to take a few more pictures but I'm not sure if they are much better because I couldn't seem to get normal lighting, ugh. Here they are,
Thanks for your help!

Hi there! I'm new to purseforum and I'd like to have this Kate Spade bag authenticated :)

Background: I got this today at an estate sale for a good deal (well it depends if this is actually an authentic KS! :/ ) It still has the tag on and the bag is called "Darlene" in marivaux noel. The logo outside of the bag is not the usual "kate spade NEW YORK" logo although that could be found inside the bag. Searching online, I suppose the logo outside is her "noel" logo im not sure. It also came with a green note card containing information mostly about the fabric and the brown dust bag with a hot pink tie. I checked the bag and it is made in China. I searched online for the Darlene marivaux noel but there were not that many results so any info you experts could provide would be very much appreciated! :)

Here's a link to the pictures!

I'm pretty sure it's fake. I don't think the font or spacing are correct on the label.

Compare -- authentic on right. Notice that the "N" in New York is under the "a" in kate. It should be under the 't' and the 'k' in york should be under the a in spade.
