What is it about the zipper that makes you think it's fake?Hello everyone! I'm new to these forums, but i've absolutely fallen in love with Kate Spade in recent years, so i thought i would join in the obsession. Anyway, I'm on the hunt for a Little Minka, as i love the style, but i know they're very hard to find nowadays.
Was going to ask you guys to authenticate this, but i think i just answered my own question. The zipper gives it away, so i'd say fake? Sigh. The hunt continues...
That it's way to long for the bag (as in the flap ends, but the zipper keeps going, if that makes sense). The zip isn't flush against the bag like in other pictures of the Minka. But then again, this may be authentic, I don't know - hence why i asked in this thread, but i suspect it might be. I wish they hadn't discontinued the Little Minka, it's the perfect slouchy style
this is the auction if anyone is interested: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kate-Spa...?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item19ff10dd3a"]

I'll defer to Dawn on the authentication but this seller scares me.
She's a fairly new seller with an awful lot of highly faked brands and items, some of which have been sold in very large quantities.
For example, she has sold 14 of the bag you've asked about, one of which she was negged for:
14 sold and 4 more still available:

I have no idea whether her items are authentic but I (personally) wouldn't touch them with a 10-foot pole.
ETA: For the record, one of her many Burberry scarves was deemed fake:

in that last quote from me, i meant to say ''i suspect it might be fake.'' (typing too fast and hit reply). yep, i thought as much! very very shady! Thanks for looking this, Been Burned (and she freaked me out too) xx
This is a tough one. It looks okay to me, BUT I'm not sure that one can buy kate spade items straight from the manufacturer, as the seller indicates. Could be some sort of factory second or a superfake. Either way, I wouldn't buy it.
Does anyone know the name of this Kate Spade wallet/wristlet? The handle tucks away or it can be pulled out for use as a wallet. I'm fairly certain it is authentic, but if you know otherwise, please let me know!
My little minka's zipper end is tucked inside and cannot end up on the outside due to the leather piece that is sewn on the end to prevent that from happening. I purchased mine from Kate Spade online store.
I even sent her a message and asked her about buying straight from the manufacturer.... Like, how did that work? Did she mean the factory??
She never responded.
Hi just wanna know your thoughts on this bag (Wellesley Martine). I bought it from a trusted online seller as far as I know. They've gotten very good reviews. And they got this bag from an outlet store in the U.S. (It's cheaper for me since I live outside of the U.S.) anyway I'm pretty sure that it's real. I've got the gift receipt and it matches the code on the bag and I was given constant updates throughout the buying process. It seems like good quality all throughout but the stitching is what really bothers me. Is it normal to have bags with sloppy stitching in the outlet stores?
It's fine.
Keep in mind that this is kate spade and not Hermes, Louis vuitton or Chanel. At KS's pricepoints, they can't afford to be as perfect as a bag that customers are paying thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for. If they did that, kate spade wouldn't be affordable.
