*CLOSED* Authenticate This KATE SPADE

[elviscostellofan]

Does Kate Spade ever released a brown tote with quilted logo and blue suede lining?
I'm just curious, since my friend showed me her bag.
I've tried to find the pic but haven't found it yet.
Thanks!

Yes. You're talking about the "Quilted Noel" collection in Chocolate color. There were several shapes of handbags available from this collection. This eBay auction is just one example:

This collection is several years old, so you won't likely find any photographs on current websites. But assuming this is what you've described, your friend's bag is authentic.

Yes, it is. I notice that you have asked about 4 of these wallets from different sellers; it may help you to know that a counterfeit of this wallet, to my knowledge, does not exist. I certainly have never seen one. This wallet is too detailed. Counterfeit wallets tend to be nylon or crappy looking stripes. Sometimes leather, but they're usually very obvious.

Hi, can anyone tell me if this is an authentic Kate Spade bag? Real or fake, it seems to be of high quality. Thanks!

This is unquestionably counterfeit. Neither the exterior nor interior fabrics resemble any authentic Kate Spade collection.

Sorry for the bad news.

Thanks Kat!
That's too bad, but I figured it was. Still, it's a cute bag, and like I said, the quality seems to be decent. Is it common to make quality counterfeit bags? Anyway, hopefully I can pry off the metal tag without too much damage and actually use the purse!

I think most people find their fakes servicable when they manage to get the label off. But I'd wager that if you put the bag next to a real one there would be differences. For example, I have a fake Kate Spade nylon Sam that someone sent me once as a teaching tool. It looks . . . okay, but compared to an authentic one the stitching isn't quite right, the lining isn't sewn in the same way, etc. But there are very few fake KS bags that are just TOTAL pieces o' useless caca - there are some notable exceptions!

Hey ladies and gents...

I found this bag at a resale shop (kinda like a goodwill but for a kidney foundation), it was at the bottom of a bin. The straw/wicker caught my eye. I didn't notice it had Kate Spade on the purse til it was rung up. I only paid $6.99, but I think it's a knock off. Can y'all help me with this? It would be cool if it's not a knock off, but for $6.99, I won't hold my breath.

I tried to get good images of the name/logo on the metal hardware. The inside label is kinda hokey! But what do I know, I'm paranoid poodle, right?

Help! Please and thank you!
