It's been an eternity since I posted. I've been drawn out of retirement to comment on the Noel Metallic Carla hobo, which I believe is authentic. The label looks odd, but imprinted metallic leather is so difficult to photograph sharply. I believe we're seeing shadows and light reflection there.


Cheers,


Kat

You guys don't think that the font on the label is wonky?

I think it's a lousy blurry picture so that's not something I'd base an authentication on when everything else is right.

Oh! Long time, no see! :) So good to see you! You are the ks guru, so if you say it's real, it must be! :)

Okay... here's a wallet that's got me stumped. COULD be from a sample sale. Would be very early because of the simplicity of the label... but the font doesn't look right...
It looks like the "plain label Continental" that was made in 1999 found on Kat's site....http://ihatecounterfeitbags.info/wallets

I wish Kat's picture were clearer and larger. It's hard to tell whether the label was just plainer or if the font and spacing were different too.

I have the same wallet (newer label) in red and in addition to the font, the spacing is different. Even the stitching on my label is much closer to the edges.

Hmm. I can't imagine that the older label would mix fonts. Notice that the s is sans serif, the p and d have serifs and the k has a serif on the left but not on the part that goes up to the right.

Does that make sense?

Hello there! New to the thread, and thank you for having it! I purchased a Kate Spade bag on eBay (first time rookie) and when I received it, I now know why this thread exists. I searched around images on google and haven't had that much luck getting a definitive answer. Lesson learned. Any help on telling if this is real vs. fake would be greatly appreciated!
