20180713_182301.jpg Hi! Can you please authenticate my new purchase? In doing research I believe this is a real KS bag but I'm confused on the China tag. I've been reading that her leather bags are made in Italy so a little confused. I wanted to find the year made but can't locate another purse to compare. Does anyone know the year? Thank so much for your time.

If it helps, in my own research I found that some of her bags are made in China. #6 is the details on origin tags. I’d have a pro on here double check it for sure, though. I’m not a pro, just kind of in the same boat. https://www.materialworld.co/blog/post/how-authenticate-kate-spade-handbag/

This blog mentions China leather bags as a possibility also.

Hello. Is is possible to tell me what collection this purse is from? I have had it in my drawer with some other bags and was looking to see if there is a matching wallet for it. Found the style tag 11232 but that did not help me much.

Thank you for any help you can offer :)

View attachment 4126220 View attachment 4126221 Thank you for your help. I’ve got additional questions. Could you tell me something about these two bags? (they are authentic as you said) I’m interested if they are from real leather or maybe you know their name or year. Both bags I bought in a second hand shop, one for 2 euros and the second one for 6 euros. Thanks in advance.

The first one is made of boarskin. Not sure of the name, though. I had that same bag some years ago. Pretty sure the interior is striped... like purple, green, and black??? (I could be wrong on that!)
The second one is either patent leather OR pvc. Should tell you on the interior label.
Unfortunately, I don't know their names...

Totally authentic... It was from the Mondrian Collection.
 
View attachment 4128296 Good Evening! Ahead of time - thank you for looking at my Post! I jumped on a Poshmark KS 'vintage' purse marked waaaay the heck down because it's a bit dirty and could use a good cleaning. The seller said it's authentic. But people can lie on the internet. Lol. If it's not real, no problem, it was $10 and still matches a lot of my clothes. But I'm curious for a few reasons - A. See if I should get it professionally cleaned or not bother and chuck it in the washing machine, and B. Her death has kind of made an impact on me. (Rest in Peace, Kate ❤️). She was talented, beautiful.. As someone with mental health issues myself, she's almost a reminder to me "you add beauty to the world whether you see it of not." Anyways, if you can authenticate (authenti'kate'?) or unauthenticate it for me I'm grateful. If it's real and you have an idea of a year or line name too, even better. These pictures are all I have from Poshmark. It hasn't shipped yet.
Completely AUTHENTIC!! Good find! (I can't remember the name...)
Also, I have washed her canvas bags before... the canvas will come clean, but sometimes the leather will run. It's a crap shoot.

totally authentic. ks USED to make all her leather bags in Italy... that hasn't been the case for many, many years. Your bag is real ks!
Not sure of the year, though!

Please be careful following any guides on the internet. Many of them are fraught with inaccuracies. Material World is ALWAYS selling fake kate spades on eBay. They have one for sale now... and I've reported it, but they're such a big money maker, eBay won't pull it.
The droolworthy site is correct, but there are exceptions to many of the "rules" of ks authentication.
 
Hi, I feel dumb for asking this because this still has tags on and I'm assuming it has to be authentic with the tag still on, right? But just to give myself some peace, I would like to know for sure that this is authentic. I purchased this on Poshmark. I guess the only thing that's throwing me off is the white tag, I looked at my other bags and I've never seen a tag like this. As well as the yellow tag, the words are zoomed out as opposed to filling out the label nicely? if that makes sense? Thank you in advance!IMG_6939.JPG IMG_6937.JPG IMG_6938.JPG fullsizeoutput_25f.jpeg IMG_6941.JPG IMG_6944.JPG IMG_6945.JPG IMG_6946.JPG
