I appreciate the info however after doing a bit of research I believe this bag to be fake, I own this bag in zinnia pink direct from kate spade website, all the other catherine street pippa bags have the kate spade logo embossed into the leather, this one has a silver metal bar, the side hardware also looks off....just doing my research as well, have also never seen this color. This seller's other bags also have a few differences which I've described that make me nervous, just my thoughts.

I agree with Dawn that it's fine.

Keep in mind that manufacturers change details, logos, markings, colors, hardware, etc. through the years. They also might change details in an outlet version.

In order to make valid comparisons, you need to compare the identical item from the same era/factory/source. (By "source," I mean full-priced retailer vs. outlet/discounter)

yayendij has been discussed on the Coach forum many times over the years for selling fakes.

There are some scary close fakes coming out of the Philippines and personally, we don't recommend buying from Filippino sellers because of this problem.

Here are just 2 posts that discuss the problems:

Furthermore, it COULD be a factory second. Doesn't mean it's not authentic, it's just a little "off" so it failed inspection, so it was sold as a factory second.

The teal green bag in the ebay listing is likely made from flannel (rather than leather), which is why there is a name plate rather than embossing. This does look like a factory second and/or outlet version of the main catherine street pippa. If you are concerned I would ask the seller for more details such as where the bag was purchased, style name, etc.

Hi everyone,
I need help on this one. I just purchased a kate spade bag on ebay and now questioning its authenticity. What do you guys think? is this real or fake? the stitching looks weird to me and there no logo on the front? I havnt received the bag yet but I'm thinking of contacting seller and canceling if possible. PLEASE HELP!!!
