I see nothing wrong with this. Authentic!

Thank you so much for your help, truly! May I know how you could tell it was authentic? So that I might be able to help others with the info. So far I know to compare with the picture of the authentic bag, the stitching, the kate spade logo letters and spacing and if the logo is embossed for leather bags. Also there should be a label with the country of origin sewn in the interior of the bag (if bag is made after 1996).

If it helps, I found this info regarding the country of origin tags:

"Now, let's talk about country of origin labels. In case you didn't read the FAQ page, please note that not EVERY Kate Spade bag has a country of origin label. Many of the bags produced in the earliest collections, up until 1996, had no country of origin label. I have *4* older bags with no country of origin label, including my Kate Spade for Lilly Pulitzer.

That said, any bag made after 1996 should have a country of origin label. Sometimes they are very hard to find. For example, they are often hidden in the interior pocket of a bag, sewn onto the seam. You have to pull the pocket lining all the way out in order to find them."

The site you mentioned is the bible of ks authentication, but it covers ks from 1994 to 2006. Labeling has changed many times since then.

FYI-- Kate Spade sold her company to Liz Claiborne in 2006, so much changed after that.

Hi, everyone. I just found this forum, and would like to request authentication of this Kate Spade purse. I read a lot of authentication pages, but don't feel qualified to make the call. Thanks for any information!

Hi!

I was hoping I could get the help of the experts here in helping me authenticate a bag. I've tried reading the guides, but there's so much room for error and they're not all up to date. I have this bag and wanted to know if it's fake or real. My first guess is fake as my girlfriend's aunt, who I believe got it at a discount store, gave it to her. But I'm not sure about that. Anyway, here are the pictures. Thanks a lot in advance!

Can someone please tell me what this is called? I don't have an eBay link. It's in a local facebook group. View attachment 2665738

This is a counterfeit and illegal to sell unless the fake label can be removed. It's a knockoff of her multi-stripe collection. See here to compare. http://ihatecounterfeitbags.info/rainbowbags. Also, please contact that group's admin and inform them that selling counterfeits anywhere is illegal. They should not allow it. Also reference this site when you inform them and the seller.

Complete and total counterfeit! Use it to store tools or stuff under the sink, but please don't resell! Looks like something that came from a flea market or purse party. Yuck!
