Sure. You'll see this with a lot of the stripe or other fabric/patterned collections. Example, from 2000 Multi-Stripe collection (these are the same bag):

Hi Kat.
Is this authentic?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170475568126&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I find it hard to find this classic dot noel collection nowadays.
As a Kate Spade starter, I find pieces from this line a real classic and must haves!
Too bad I missed this one on auction... :((

Yes, it is (was) authentic - I'm sorry I missed your question before the auction ended. :(

Hey Kat,
I'm directing this to you because you and I recently discussed the authenticity of a KS Spazzolato I purchased on eBay so when I saw this listing, I was really curious to hear your opinion. I emailed the seller and asked if there's a COO tag and I believe she said it's made in China. Plus, the interior tag appears to be blank and I thought these were lined in suede? (Not to mention Made in Italty.) Anyway, I'm not thinking of buying it - I just found it interesting because I thought I'd once read somewhere that you said these aren't commonly faked, though my memory may be failing me there. Anyway, if you have a chance, I'd love to hear your feedback on this bag and/or counterfeits of this style in general. Thanks as always!

It's been 10 years, I can't remember if these were counterfeited a lot or not! This one is a counterfeit.

Actually, what I seem to recall seeing a lot of is random bags with this label/bow stuck on, like a fake fabric bag with a leather "kate spade/new york" bow label. Take one feature of an authentic collection and run with it....

Exhibit A!

WOW...that's simply stunning. I can hardly find words for this masterpiece. ;-) Thanks for your reply. I think I confused your feedback about rarely seeing fake KS bags that are "Made in Italy" with the idea that the Spazzolato line isn't often counterfeited - I'm sorry about that. This picture really just says it all re: counterfeit Spazzolatos, doesn't it?? Thanks for clearing that up for me. Oh, and P.S., you know I'm a huge fan of your site but it's also torturing me a bit. There are some bags on there that I really want but I imagine they're pretty tough to find. I especially like the black linen bag embroidered w/ silver flowers from back in '99 - soooo pretty! Anyway, thanks again!

You're welcome!

I am still working on compiling my brand new website (I've been working on it slowly for like 1.5 years, so who knows if I'll ever finish it). It's focused more on just cataloguing all of the various collections, rather than how to spot counterfeits. There are just so many different collection variations at this point, I no longer can post any "rules" when it comes to KS counterfeits (except the one universal truth - there is no authentic cherry print!)

It will be even more torture because I have even more photos! Including more vintage bags I never loaded up to the ihcb.info website! hahahahaha

Here's a teaser, this page is MOSTLY done:

I will keep an eye out for that bag. Any others you're trying to find? I peruse the listings almost daily.
