Please help me determine if this bag is authentic. Purchased from TJ Maxx. Looks good but I'm not as familiar with KS as I am with other brands & have never seen any MFF in person. Newbury Lane Alysia in Cliff Grey. I don't see any YKK on the zipper or embossed print on the strap. Stitching looks ok for price point and the snaps on the sides have a stamped spade. Style code on hang tag WKRU2102 matches inside pocket sewn in tag. Thank you so much!

Legitimate retailers sell authentic merchandise and it's only when dishonest customers do switcheroos that you'll find occasional fakes.
Thank you so much for your response! I do still exercise healthy skepticism at off price or outlets too unless it's the actual brand's outlet, even major dept store outlets (Rack/Off5th) whose non-outlet stores are authorized retailers. I worked at Prada for ten years and during that time spotted & reported to our legal office entire batches of fake Prada spotted in some reputable outlets I wouldn't have expected. The off price business is so big that they're aren't sourcing dead/over stock just from their own stores, the brand or authorized retailers. They go to other distributors or sources for inventory. So while most of the stuff passes muster at the better off price places like TJ, it is entirely possible for them to get a fake batch unknowingly from a distribution source. Recently I spotted a huge amount of Rebecca Minkoff Mac cross bodies at a big name dept store outlet that the leather and hardware looked completely wrong yet everything else I saw that day looked legit including higher end stuff that was probably dead stock for them like Chloe.
Hello all! Can someone tell me if Kate Spade receipts come with a QR code instead of a bar code? Seller says she bought the bag online, the photo she sent me of the receipts show a sales memo and credit card receipt with QR codes on both. Is this legit? (https://d2xngy2dw7hums.cloudfront.net/media/photos/chat/47122502/1441689462.jpg)
Sorry! I just noticed the receipt is probably fake. The "kate spade" brand at the top of the receipts are written as "Kate Spade".
Hi! I’m a newbie in this forum and glad that I joined as discussions are very interesting.
I have a few questions on KS bags. Does it always have the “YKK” mark on the zipper/s? Also, I noted that some KS bags have either 2 tags or 1 tag inside, i.e. either the one shown above or combined with the the tag with product code/ item serial number. Should all of these be present in order for a KS bag to be considered authentic?
Looking forward to hear from you. TIA!
Hi! I bought this patent leather Kate Spade bag off of eBay and now I am paranoid it might be fake.
There is no "Made in ____" tag on the inside, although it does have a tag with the kate spade logo and spade symbol, with a material listing on the back of that tag in Chinese and English. Some of the stitches are loose, but I wondered if that was since it was a used bag. The part I was most uncertain of was that there is a diagonal stitch across the strap in the same location on both sides. I have never seen this before.
Can you please tell me if this is a fake? I can't find any other similar bags online. I have attached pictures from the eBay listing, and am attaching a few additional pics, as the tags and other parts are not pictured in the eBay listing. Thanks for all of your help!

Hello I would be grateful for anyone's expert opinion on the item attached. The seller is a first time eBay seller and I am a bit surprised to see made in China in the label but I guess that's the way these days! Been on the hunt for this for ages!

I was wondering if someone can help me determine if these bags are fakes? I saw them for sale on Tradesy, and am not sure if they are authentic or not.
