Hi! I ordered this bag six months ago (one for me and one for my best friend):
http://www.katespadeonsale.com/kate-...ue-online.html
Is it a fake? And is it made with real saffiano leather as it is supposed to be or plastic (if it's a fake)
Please help! It's driving me insane not knowing. Also, the Kate Spade webpage doesn't ship to my country, so I had to order it from a Kate Spade Outlet webpage. Even more annoying :-(

According to the whois lookup, it appears to be KS's own site:

http://www.whois.com/whois/katespadeonsale.com

Seriously? How will I know for sure? I mean, it even came with one of those Kate Spade guarantees: "This is an authentic Kate Spade..." - something like that. Also, there is nothing that looks really fake about it, except that the label inside isn't like the labels inside the bags on the Kate Spade website (you can see the label on the picture of the link). Honestly, it just looks like the quality is a bit worse (like it's made for an outlet), but I read some reviews about the real charlotte street small sloan and they all said that they wish the quality/craftmanship was better.
I ordered the bag from that website because you can't get it anymore from the real website and because Kate Spade doesn't ship to my country.
How can I tell if it's made from saffiano leather (as it's supposed to) or plastic?
Also: When something is fake, it just looks fake. Then why would a company go through so much trouble making something look real, even shipping the bag with a guarantee and everything if it's fake?
Should I write to the real Kate Spade website and ask them about it?
This is from the whois lookup. It's got KS's phone number as the contact. Call them to confirm!!

Can you post pictures of your purse? It's hard to get a good read if you don't share pictures of the actual bag you're asking about.
However, I seem to recall being warned away from the "katespadeonsale" website before.
I could be entirely wrong, but I'd be interested to see pictures of your purse.
 
Just wondering if anyone could let me know if they think this one is authentic or not? It's still available on eBay and I'd love to buy it if it's the real thing. Thanks in advance :tup:

Hello there, I ended up purchasing the grainy leopard print wallet from eBay Australia and it is really nice. I've taken some more pictures of it and was hoping you could put my mind at ease that it is indeed real? Thank you so much in advance :D

Hi, I recently bought this Kate Spade Cedar Street Maise Shoulder Top Bag online and would like to authenticate it. To me it looks like what's on the Kate Spade website as well as Amazon. Would just like to seek your expert advice on whether it's real...

This is the message I posted a few days ago. Finally managed to upload some pictures. What do you guys think? Fake or real (outlet real)?

Hi, I was trying to access the website at work but it wouldn't let me go on it because of "bad reputation". I have no idea how a website gets onto this list but it makes me question its validity.

I know shopbop ships worldwide and sells kate spade. You can order stuff from there.
 
Hi, I am really sorry I am probably doing this wrong because I posted in another forum but thought it was the kate spade authentic one but I don't think it was I hope to learn my way around soon lol. This is a wallet that I am trying to see if it is real. The piece on the front that says Kate Spade New york does not have a spade on it and the four metal pieces holding it on have shapes on them, they each have two circles and something that looks like a bell and upside down bell . Thanks for your help. Lori

I thought this bag looked pretty good, but I can't find any others quite like it and it's making me doubt. The details are nice and it's certainly not the kind of chintzy fake I usually see, with crooked lettering and bad hardware. The leather is real leather, the lining is logo print... There's a tag inside the zip pocket, see photo, with a code on it (S363) and another tag that with an additional code. It also has a made in China tag in the side seam.

Hope that's not too many pictures! I actually have more, if necessary. Thank you!
 
Hi, I just joined this group so I have sooo much to learn but I noticed the designs on the inside of your bag are the same as the little metal pieces that are on my wallet that I posted to see if it was real or not . Maybe that is a Kate Spade design. Hope so :)

Authentic. Interior design is called the "Dot Noel." Those shapes mimic a k and an s.,
