Hi! I would really appreciate some help authenticating this Kate Spade handbag I got from a friend. Here are the pics:

I will admit that I'm not an expert on nylon stuff (it's so hard to tell sometimes), but what I see looks good. I believe this one should have "made in indonesia" tag in it, so maybe look for that and attach a picture with that on it. In general, whatever 'made in' tag you have (check inside the pocket and lining) would be helpful.

I am not famliar with this bag ( it may be something form early 2000 nylon collection) but something looks off with the way the "kate spade" is stamped on side of bag. The the letter "t" & "e' dont look right. hopefully some1 else can be of more assistance to you.

Update: since this post, I have had the bag authenticated by several Kate Spade staff on site (in the Kate Spade store itself).

That's good news - and fortunately, they're correct! :nuts: I only mention this because I've known KS employees to be incorrect on occasion. One sales associate recently told a cautious eBayer that "all Kate Spade bags are made in China," and thus, her AUTHENTIC vintage KS with a Made in USA flag tag was counterfeit. There are many such stories. You're more likely to get an accurate answer with the post-2004 collections, as the interior tagging has remained more or less similar since then.

Oh my, that is awful! I can only imagine the number of stories alike your friends :(

Thank you for the "post-2004" tip! Very good to know.

I compared the internal tagging (the KS logo - could feel the stitching of the tag itself inside the bag 'behind' the cloth interior and compared the Made in China tag and tags inside the zippered pocket w/ my Rita Wellsley) before taking it in to the KS store. The bag itself was from the 2008 collection, from what I was told and found on the Internet.

TY for your good cheers - it was funny as the SA came out and exclaimed to the whole store, "It's REAL!!!" :) - it's a beautiful color!

Hello ladies,

I am new to this forum after a little lurking on the blog. The most exciting thing has happened - I found out this weekend that I will be having a baby! My husband and I have been trying for only a few months and are so excited. I know it is really early, but am really keen on getting a great diaper bag! I have no idea what makes a good diaper bag, but have been doing some searching on ebay and came up with a few Kate Spade bags I like the look of (definitely the most important part of a diaper bag, right? :D) them. My preference would be to get a Burberry, but they are so pricy and ebay does not seem to have a ready stock of them. So, I am hoping you can authenticate the Kate Spade bags I have found on ebay. This one is $286.75 (CAD).

I prefer the green pattern (Keswick) because of the colour, but am not sure it is as practical, but it is half the price ($146.07 CAD). The photo might be small, but the larger pictures are protected off ebay, so here is the link if you don't mind looking.

Thanks for looking!

Both of these diaper bags pictured are authentic. I personally LOVE the Keswick - I'd consider using that as a casual briefcase myself. If you're only going to get one bag, though, I might go with the Noel pattern because it's probably a better year-round pattern. I see Keswick and I see spring/summer (it is printed like wicker, after all). Think about whether or not you'd see yourself carrying the Keswick in colder months.

HTH!

Can someone authenticate this kate spade. It does have the number tag inside the zippered pocket with the ksny also has YKK zipper. Also I would like to know the style of the bag. It looks like pebbled leather but is not soft leather. Has a tag on the inside made in china. The zipper pull has embossed kate spade new york.

Thanks
