*CLOSED* Authenticate This KATE SPADE

[jnineteen]

Hi! This is my first Kate Spade purse, and I was hoping one of you experts might be able to help me determine whether it's authentic. I've tried to do some research on the subject, and I have a couple concerns. I believe the style is the Southport Avenue Cora, in French Navy.

My first concern was that the strap is much stiffer than I would expect for good quality leather. It feels like fake, plasticky leather, although the purse body itself is soft. The strap also squeaks whenever it moves, where it attaches to the metal rings, which is a little annoying.

I read that any of Kate Spade's more recent bags should have a country of origin label inside. I wasn't able to find one that looks like any in the pictures I've seen, but I did finally find a tiny "Made in China" on the fabric content label (see photos). Does that count? I couldn't find whether China is the correct country of origin for the Southport Cora, but hopefully it is.

The third thing I noticed is that the gold stamped Kate Spade on the outside looks a little off to me...but I wasn't sure if it's because of the pebbled leather. The "k" is slightly taller than the "a" next to it, which I haven't seen on most logos, and the "p" and "d" look a bit large compared to the "s" and "a" in spade. The two "a"s also look slightly different from each other, shape-wise. Again, this could be because the surface of the leather is uneven, so perhaps the stamping was affected?

Here are some photos of the different details of the purse. Please let me know if any others would help. Thank you so much!

Forgive me if this is a silly question, I am new to this...

But I just bought a version that has higher side panels, and I see this version A LOT on the interwebs. Is it an authentic variation, or are all these bags fakes?

Thanks so much!!

Just for anyone else questioning the high side pannels...
I just received the bag and it came with the original receipt. It was purchased at Kate Spade Covent Garden, London just 2 months ago. So I can be pretty sure it is authentic. And also, I got it at a very VERY good price compared to it's original price. Lucky me!

Hi, this is the first time I have bought a branded item online. The seller has good feedback and so I gave it a shot.
But somehow I just can't feel secure. Can you please help me authenticate this item. The seller insisted that this is from a US outlet store.

Hope I am doing this right. Have a chance to purchase a Kate Spade tote but looks like the piping is showing at the bottom corner and top rim of the bag. Anyone know if this is authentic and if the bag can be repaired? Hate to waste my money on a repair if it is too expensive.

Thanks for any suggestions and help. The bag is from a friend but she wants $80 but willing to take less since she is moving. Please look at the bottom pix, over to the left hand side is a white area looks like the piping and over on the right hand side lower corner looks like something is starting to "poke" through. These are pix she sent me since we do not live that close.

Thank you!!

Hi PurseForum!

I just bought this Kate Spade tote at a thrift store at a really good price. I assumed it was priced so low because the the straps are in need of some repair. Now that I've got it home I was looking online and began to question its authenticity. Please help if you can!

Also is it typical for Kate Spade totes with the patent look to be made out of PVC?

Thank you!

Hello All!


Please help (and educate) me in authenticating this Kate Spade Hanna Crossbody handbag. If you can comment on what it is you're looking for that makes it authentic, that'd be awesome!


There seems there was once a tag near the left side of the pocket but it is now torn/cut off. (see pic)


TIA!
