Can you help me authenticate my kate spade cedar street Mandy? Purchased from eBay and seller says it's authentic and bought from kate spade outlet but honestly not buying that. Maybe Kate spade sells somewhat defective bags? Not sure lol

First off, the stamped logo on the front seems to be off. The Kate part is too close together and between the p and the a in spade, there seems to be too space.
The interior pocket doesn't have the gold spade stud on the pocket as shown on the real one.
The interior tag Is paper and in the real bag it's showing two tags, maybe an origin tag or security tag? Not sure which.
I can also see a little bit of glue along the piping. If this was kate spade I would think they would clean that up.
The tag also doesn't even say the right bag. It says maryanne goldcoast with the matching number for the goldcoast: 2289 and then it says retail $228. I searched this bag and the bag isn't even $228 retail but I know the cedar street Mandy is. Not sure if the outlet sells bags with tags that don't match but you never know.
The bag also came in a plastic bag and the ink that says kate spade seems cheaply stamped. Also didnt come with a dust bag which upsets me because I like to keep my bags nice. I know some kate spade bags don't come with dust bags though.
Please let me know if my bag seems to be fake. Thank you
