I hope you didn't leave the seller an undeserved negative feedback.

In the future, please have your items authenticated before accusing a seller of breaking the law and selling a fake.

There, I've learned something today! I haven't seen the Scout in a cross hatch leather before, nor have I seen the plastic plate on the front - I would have been suspicious of it, as well. (Then again, if I wasn't sure I wouldn't have bought it. I don't spend a that much money on maybes. :cool:)

never left any negative feedbacks from the seller,i believe that its a replica though,doesnt smell and feel like leather and has a very strong plastic scent,and theres no kate spade tags on the inside,the zipper pull doesnt have the spade mark,and the sides of the bag is painted on,it looks sloppy,theres glue on the sides of the bag as well...ive only known this when i got the bag,but from the photo it looks authentic,just thought of having a second opinion.they are getting good at this.

I'm confused. Although I'm not a KS expert, I do own some, have sold many and I could swear I saw this bag at TJ Maxx.

I thought I was certain it was authentic.

The lining looks perfect; even with the spade:

The front looks right:

And I'm seeing a logo on the rivet. I can't recall ever having seen a fake spade (or dot noel) on a fake.

I'm wondering what you see that I'm not seeing.

I've noticed a chemical smell on a lot of newer bags, across different brands.

Here's a different listing for a similar bag with the same front nameplate, same spade logo (barely visible in pictures) and identical details.

Unless you are comparing apples to apples, i.e., bags made at the same time, same size, either full-priced or outlet, etc., there might be differences. But that doesn't mean a bag is fake.

ETA: May I ask you one question? Are you located in the Philippines?

those are pretty scouts!but different from the one that ive got,which is made out of very thick clear plastic plate,i also have bags from kate with that kind of name plate logo but its not clear the plate has the same color as the bag,when you run your fingers through them it feels uneven,like its stamped on really well,while the one from the essex that i got well looks like etched on,doesnt even feel like it was stamped,since its still pretty even.

anyways i guess i understand your point,but on my side its very clear that what i had was a replica,as ive said it looks great on the photo,and you will only see that its off when you held it,ive had quite a few kate spade bags and if theres one thing that ive noticed thats consistent about them is the spade zipper pull,the kate spade tags on the inside,and the sides to hide the raw leather isnt painted on,and theres a way to tell if the bag is made of leather,i cant explain unless you held the scout,ive checked the bag,definitely not leather..even the hardwares are different from my other katespades,its peeling on the side part of the bag,ive never seen any glue residue on my kate spade or when i visit their store(i love to smell leather bags and i inspect them for no reason when im at their boutique lol) the scout bag has glue where the strap handles are,its not obvious from afar not unless you check the bag.for me thats a lot of red flags,to risk having the bag for myself

I purchased this bag because I liked the print a couple months ago. Later I noticed the Kate Spade tag on the front. I've tried searching online for this purse to figure out if it is truly a KS or not to no avail. I only paid 5 bucks for it and I didn't buy it because I thought it was a KS bag so if it is not, I am not out anything but I would appreciate your thoughts on it. The tag on the front is sewn on but the is no tag anywhere on the inside to say where it was made. Thanks!
