Hi Kat,

I'm pretty sure this large Kate Spade diaper bag is authentic, but I'd love your opinion:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120584185661&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Also, do you know if this style is still available in stores? I've only seen them on eBay, but since many of the postings are NWT, I would think they are probably purchased somewhat recently.

Also, generally speaking, is is a safe to assume that if tags are still on a bag Kate Spade bag, it is real? Or can those be faked too?

Thanks!

This is authentic. I have no idea if it is available in stores. Although obviously I still authenticate KS bags, and generally keep up with the collections online, I haven't actually shopped for a Kate Spade bag in quite some time. ;)

I've not seen a fake of the CURRENT price tag, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. It is still wise to seek authentication. I have seen all kinds of egregious things over the past 10 years. Obviously you're not going to see this happen as you would with Louis Vuitton, but it can. Back in 1999-01 when the "care card" was just a piece of white card stock with print on the front and back, those were faked with some regularity.

One of my friends just bought a Kate Spade tote, in the actual Kate Spade outlet near her. It's very cute, I want to buy it but I don't live close enough to the outlets to go. Soo, for second best I think I found the same on on Ebay, stating authentic, blah blah.
BUT.. I also found the same purse, but different interior, also claiming authentic.
I did a search for the style number and found bag #1 on Nordstrom's website but discontinued item, so I'm thinking that's the authentic one? (The pink NOEL interior)
Any help please to discern between the two? :) Thanks

So, this is the first one, the one that I think is prob. real, based on the interior matching the one from Nordstroms website.
1.) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300418094539&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

This is the other one on ebay, different interior(polka dot), but also claim authentic

2.) http://cgi.ebay.com/kate-spade-ny-C...tem&pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item4150441ee7

Here is the link to the discontinued item at Nordstroms that made me think the pink interior is the real one??
http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3034531...Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6007785&P=1

Let me know if anyone has suggestions?
I just wouldn't think they would make the bag with alternate interiors, not sure what to think.

Both bags are authentic. There are numerous collections with different colored linings, or different patterned linings altogether. This is particularly true for collections that span more than one season, and collections that are made for the outlets. Varying linings do not signify counterfeits. The dot lining is the "Larabee Dot" which has been used in multiple collections.

HTH,

Kat

Hi all,
I'm mostly a Coach or RM girl and I wouldn't know a Kate Spade if it hit me over the head. :confused1:

At any rate, I picked this up out of the $1.99 bin at the Salvation Army yesterday. They had some other great bags in there too, including a Coach Mercer Backpack. I couldn't just let it sit there in case it was authentic, so I brought it home with me. Real or fake?

This is authentic. It is the Nylon Pique "Eleni" from 2001.

Hi there, I'm new to the forum! (I used to be super into denim and spent all my time on authenticforum, but now I've been bitten by the handbag bug.... :-s )

So I was thinking about bidding on this Kate Spade bag because the print looks really fun, but I want to know for sure that it's real before I do. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks!
