Off topic but do you use ****** when you shop at ThredUp? You get 7.5% back on each purchase. They give cash back on lots of stores and this is one of the highest percentages. Individually, it's not much but it can add up over time.

Hi! No, I don't go through anything. I cannot see the name of the site you are mentioning, but I think I can figure it out with a quick search. Thanks so much.

Please help me authenticate this Kate Spade bag!
I bought this on eBay and it just arrived today. It came in a a plastic wrapped package with a Kate Spade barcode on it but had the bag had a weird (almost cheap smell). I really don't want to believe that it's cheap but my gut is telling me otherwise. (Don't mind the tissue paper still on the straps)

Here is the listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121358438351...84.m1497.l2649

Please help!

The bag is authentic and the complaint about the smell seems to be becoming more common across multiple brands. (I'm sorry but I don't have any suggestions other than airing it out but there are discussions throughout TPF about removing odors.)

In fact, there's a current discussion on the ebay forum about a similar chemical smell.

Purchased this Charles Street Audrey from a reseller, but I can't make up my mind about whether it's real or not. Would appreciate help in authenticating this bag! Thank you! It smells like real leather, has all the spade marks in the pull tabs & studs but ...

- The handles have an awful sheen from glue or something. The picture turns out reddish but it's more of a dark brown, not noticeable unless you look closely. The seller mentioned that it is a factory reject/defect and got it from an outlet. I don't mind it and could touch it up with edge kote by myself if need be but do they sell such rejects like this at the outlets?!



- The handles are not stitched well and have a gap where it meets the bag, you can see the back side of the leather and it is pure white color. Sign of a fake?



- The bottom bow


- Inner label, this CA55710 is not for this bag
