My consignment shop recently received a "kate spade" purse and before putting items on the floor we check authenticity. Please help me determine wether this kate spade is real.
I have posted pictures below. just to note there is no label inside of this bag only a little white tag which reads "made in china" also the majority of the bag is cloth while the bottoms is leather.
Thank you. so much. I am stumped so i am now asking the professionals (you guys).
One last thing if you do believe it is fake could you please let me know how you came up with that just so I am able to explain that to the consigner.
Thanx

Amkaja24: I am glad you checked, because this is not an authentic Kate Spade. It is a copy of the "Hatteras" collection from Fall, 2001. The primary issue that jumped out at me first is that the Hatteras collection did not include a bag of this color. This collection was originally made in Italy and would have a leather "Made in Italy" tag on the interior if authentic:

The letters are also not the correct shape. Here's the logo stamp from an authentic Hatteras to compare:

There are some additional issues, but those are the primary problems. I hope that helps!

Hello! I know Kate Spade backpacks are pretty widely counterfeited, so I probably should have posted this before I made the purchase, but I was wondering what you guys think about this one. I felt like it looked authentic, but I think it would be pretty easy to copy these, because they are so simple... Any thoughts? I have asked the seller for the year and season of the item, but have not yet heard from her. TIA

Hm, the link isn't working for me. It says the item is no longer available for viewing.
Sorry Kristikate, the link works for me, thanks for trying! It arrived today and if it is a fake, it would fool Kate and Jack themselves. 
Bagworldnewbie, I would not buy a bag from someone with 0 feedback, and none of the bags you posted have enough photos, I would give a thumbs down to all 3. Good luck and happy bag shopping!
Swatson, very cute, I have some giraffe heels and I love them.

That is definitely good news!
Bag #2 and #3 I am not familiar with anything of this style. Bag #1 needs some better photos of the logo on the front of the bag, and photos of the inside.
The first and third bags are authentic, although I echo the advice regarding the third bag about thinking twice before purchasing a designed item from a brand new user. The second bag is counterfeit.
