Hello all! Please help me out and see if this wallet I purchased is authentic. I got it off a resale app. I need to accept the wallet within 3 days otherwise I lose the money. Thank you so so much! (I posted all the pics I have included tag and front logo)Attachments

Very interesting!! Thank you!!
I love the look of the spade!! I'm checking wallets right now with the spade logo. What variation do you prefer?
Overall I prefer the old logo in gold, but just a small enamel spade is pretty decent for a bag like the Amelia. Nicolor bicolor small is pretty much only place I'd be okay with a large spade. Otherwise, I prefer the gold logo.
Ok, so I haven’t kept up with Kate Spade for years. I have Kate Spade bags I purchased when she was still creative director—long before Liz Claiborne purchase and well over a decade plus before Coach. I worked at a shoe and accessory boutique that sold Kate Spade, and a family owned department store that sold entire line including licensed home goods. I consider myself fairly well versed in “classic” Kate Spade.
After a quick perusal of the website, I see Sam (a true original), Stevie and Cameron Street. I see tie blouses, accordion pleat skirts and tweed jackets. I see (what I at least consider) cute prints. I do see name plate doesn’t have the spade, but my oldest bag has no spade on name plate or interior tag. If I remember correctly, the spade was added c. 2010 with evolution of Kate Spade & Co.
My transition away from brand has more to do with personal lifestyle changes than branding/vision. I will watch this thread with great interest to see how fans with recent experience perceive changes of past few years. I will say that I have been pleasantly surprised how Stuart Wetizman has stayed true to brand through the past decade including Coach/Tapestry. I had assumed Kate Spade had weathered changes similarly.

Makes sense!! I understand what you're saying. I love the look of the tiny spade on some of their wallets - very subtle but adds a nice touch.
Thank you for sharing too! I don't have any experience with older Kate Spade unfortunately, but once I order the wallet I want, I'll update on what I think. From what I see, Kate Spade looks like they're still using lots of soft leather and pebbled leather (which I love). Compared to Michael Kors and Coach (brands I also love) who seem to be heavily using coated canvas/crossgrain.
+1 Point for Kate Spade in that aspect!!!
Hi. I am new to Kate Spade and LOVE her stuff, but I bought this purse off of Ebay from a seller who assured me it was authentic. It is really stiff (which I can get over) but the part that concerns me is the stitching on the bottom. It just looks sloppy to me, plus there is no lining. Also, I tried to get a pic of the inside tag, but just couldn't. In a nutshell it starts out by saying made of cow leather. Anyway, I can post more pics later if needed, but I would just like somebody to start with the bottom of the purse. Does this look right?
