Yes. Both the Faux Fur Tiger and the Nylon Sam are authentic. They do not have Kate Spade tags on the interior because they are pre-2003. The Faux Fur Tiger is a 1999 collection. The Nylon collection goes all the way back to 1994 so I don't know what year yours is from specifically.

Hope that helps!

Ladies, Please help me authenticate this black leather tote. There's no country of origin tag anywhere in the bag. There's a word "BLITZ" on the zipper of the inside pocket though. I'm afraid that I've bought a fake, or it might be a vintage bag from very early Kate Spade collections. Thanks.

It's authentic. I am failing to remember the exact year of this collection but it's around 1998. Not even a country of origin tag sewn into the seam of the interior pocket? Well, even if not, it's still authentic. This collection included several tote shapes that mimic the shapes of the nylon totes from the same period.

Cheers,

Kat

Are the handles leather?

AUTHENTIC - this looks like a Bon Shopper, not a Quinn. The handles are fabric.

NOT Authentic. Here is a photo of an authentic Multi Stripe diaper bag for comparison:
http://ihatecounterfeitbags.info/images/rainbowdiaper.JPG

This actually would be a medium shopper, not a diaper bag, because it zips across the top (as opposed to an open tote with a tie) but there is no such think as a Multi Stripe medium shopper. The fabric texture and interior metal zipper pull are incorrect. Also, the letters on the label are too squashed together. :(
