The style is trying to be a Sam and the color is trying (but failing) to be a rainbow stripe. As noted on Kat's site in the link below, this stripe pattern wasn't ever made in a Sam. So, to put it in simple terms - Kate Spade NEVER made a bag that looks like the one in your post. You can give her this link for the rainbow stripe bag. There are many things wrong with it. At the bottom there is a list to authenticate, and just from that picture 4 of the criteria are not met.

**Definately Fake*** I remember a controversy about those rainbow color ones.

Hi--I recently bought this Kate Spade boarskin bag on eBay. All signs are there that it's authentic (the hardware, the thin hologram thread on the inside tag), but I can't find a picture of a similar bag online. Wondering if anyone recognizes what line this is? Or recognizes this bag at all?? (FYI, the hardware looks silver in the pic but is actually gold.)

Thanks!

I cannot remember the name of this bag; I haven't seen it much. I did some googling but I still couldn't pinpoint this one.

kristikate--

Thanks for the response! But you have seen it before and recognize it as a legit KS design? I wasn't able to find it by googling either. :/

I don't know for sure if I have actually seen it or not. However, the stamp and the stitching look consistent with kate spade. You said it has the hologram tag, so if you want to post a picture of that and the country of origin tag, that can futher authenticate it. It might have been a sample that was never actually made into an official line.

Do all items have an hologram sticker in the inside zip pocket. I have a black baby bag from years ago and I can't find one. A friend gave it to me so I'm not definite about authenticity. I've owned auth. KS before and i seems to be made well. It has a tag that says made in USA with red/white and blue in the inside zip pocket. Any thoughts? Thanks.

No, the older bags will not always have the hologram tag. If you can authenticate from the label and the country of origin tag then it is authentic without the hologram tag.

Please feel free to post close ups of the front label and country of origin tag to be sure. :smile1:
