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! :)

Greetings - this is most assuredly NOT a counterfeit! :yahoo: This is the Wicker Paisley Basket from Summer 2001. I absolutely love this.... the lining was available in pink paisley or green paisley. What a fantastic find! Congrats!

OMG! Thank you sooo much! You made my day! :) Wow! Talk about a goldmine in that resale shop! I found a Coach at Plato's Closet for $20 and it's real! Took it to the purse department at Neiman Marcus and the gal said it's the real deal! :) Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket! :)

Thank you soo much! :):nuts:

All of these bags are authentic, but the Tarrytown Logan appears to be a stock photo. So, in other words, it's a photo of an authentic bag, but that's about all I can say.

You're welcome! Just FYI, my website is REALLY outdated - it's really only useful as a catalogue of the older collections, at this point. If you need authenticity help, I usually do check this board every day.

Cheers,

Kat

Hi Ladies,

Please let me know what you think?

1. Brand New Kate Spade Large Nylon Diaper Bag - New with Tags (I'm guessing this is a good sign, although she doesn't say where it was purchased): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

2. Kate Spade Medium Baby Diaper Bag Black - GENUINE - Pre-Owned (scroll to bottom of the page to see)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Thanks so much!

Even without a close-up photo of the first bag, I believe it is authentic. The price tag certainly is correct, and there's nothing about the bag that leads me to believe it's fake. This is going to sound weird, but I've looked at thousands of pictures of fake and real KS nylon bags, and the camera flash reflects off of this fabric correctly. The KS nylon is a sort of smooth parachute-type fabric, and can look quite shiny in a flash photo. Frequently when a bag is fake, it has a grainy look. I think this one is real.

The second bag is not showing up. It is possible that the item was removed by eBay.

Hope that helps!

Thanks so much, Kat! I'll probably bid on the first bag.

I already won the auction on the second bag, but can't figure out how to make the link show up anymore (or even if that is possible). But I guess it doesn't matter since, either way, it is mine now. I've received it and it looks pretty well made, but maybe I'll bring it to a Kate Spade store and have them take a look. I bid on it because I thought it was the large sized bag, although it turned out to be the medium size (which is why I'm considering a bid on the other link).

I really appreciate your opinion and help!
