I picked this up at Salvation Army today for $3. Not sure if it's a fake. It seems like an old style (and smells old!) and not very Kate-Spade-ish.

No tags inside other than "made in china".

I have more pictures in the album, including a closeup of the label. It was too big to attach. :-(

TIA

Well, unfortunately it's a counterfeit, so I am glad you didn't make a big investment and got one more fake out of the stream of commerce! The label looks as though it is attached with just a few stitches on each end and could be easily removed. Do you have a child's dress-up basket that could use a donation? ;)

It is similar to some of the wool bags of 1999 and 2000, but the shape of the flap is not right, the letters on the label are not shaped or spaced correctly (and again, appears to be just barely stitched on) and the Made in China tag is incorrect (not the fact that it is made in China, just has the wrong tag).

Sorry for the bad news. ~Kat

To me, this is the bag it most closely resembles - the Wool Whipstitch "Henry." I think you can see here what I mean by the flap being off - if it was an authentic "Henry" the flap would be squared off.


More information than you needed!! :weird:
