I should be sleeping, but just got this bag on eBay and it arrived today, so I wanted to try and authenticate it. It looks like the villabella ave. Quinn bag, but I couldn't find that bag in this color (like a mint/Tiffany blue) anywhere on the web, so didn't know if its a different style or if it's fake. If it's fake, it's a good fake, but it has a lot of the necessary elements. The straps are just about shoulder bag length and the bottom is flat, without feet. It's used, so a bit wrinkled and smooshed from use or storage.

Hard to see, but spade on zipper pull.

On the inside it has a spade, but no leather label. It does have the other tags inside I have pictured and the made in china label looks like another Kate spade bag I have. What do you guys think? If it's authentic, does anyone know what design this is and approximately when it was released?

Thank you! I really liked the color and the bow! I'm obsessed with bows and kate spade right now. :D

Oh great! Thanks! I thought it probably was, but want to double check since I couldn't find any other pictures of the bag online in any owner photos or archives, etc. I'm not sure what its called though, so makes it harder to find. Looks like villabella avenue Quinn, but maybe not since I couldn't find that begin this color.

Does anyone know what the name of this bag was? I am just curious to know for future reference! :) I think it just needs a little conditioning and reshaping and getting some wrinkles out, if that's possible.

Hi,
I sold this item on Ebay after buying it from KateSpade.com The buyer claims it is fake and not real leather and has opened a dispute with ebay. I am sending her a link to this page so she can read your opinions, if you would be so kind.
Thank you so much.

I'm not sure what we're supposed to be seeing here. The photos in the listing are all stock photos, not of the actual bag. It's impossible to do any type of authentication with only stock photos.

Oops: Unfortunately I created that listing before I even received the bag. I used the stock photo's because they are of the actual bag and it is brand new. I do have more pictures that I didn't put in this listing, here they are: BTW, the buyer claims that KS would never send a bag in plastic (every one I have gotten from them has been in plastic) and that they wouldn't wrap the handle in tissue. I am sorry, I am just so frustrated because I know it is real. It is so demeaning to be accused of fraud. I appreciate any help you can give. I do have another of the same bag, if you need more pictures I can get it out tomorrow and take more
