My wife has some purses she she would like to sell on eBay. Although I buy and sell on eBay a lot, I know nothing about purses. Selling stuff like this makes me nervous because of the chance something might be a fake and the chance of attracting scammers who will claim after the sell the item was fake.

According to my wife, this purse was bought by her mother (supposedly) directly from the Kate Spade website somewhere around 2005-2007 (we are foggy on the time frame as its been awhile)

Completely and totally counterfeit. The only way you can sell this legally is to remove e fake label. For future reference, if it has that thin, leather bow, 99% of the time, it is a counterfeit. Same goes for that grommet-less metal tag. Also, no ks has a glued-on label on a leather patch on the interior. And outer labels are never crooked, not even slightly, as yours is. Oh, and no ks has cone- shaped feet, like yours.

To make your bag generic, it's very easy.

The metal plaque on the front will pull right off if you pull. There are prongs (like a staple) holding it on.

And the label on the inside is just a sticker and will come off.

There's nothing permanent on that bag that indicates KS so if you remove those two fake markings, the bag will be a generic one.
