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
This is from the whois lookup. It's got KS's phone number as the contact. Call them to confirm!!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?
