NOT Authentic. Here is a photo of an authentic Multi Stripe diaper bag for comparison:

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. :(

I too need need help with this pretty kate spade handbag. It is 13" x 11", gray wool. It has silvertone hardware, 4 square cut logo "feet". The square metal strap attachments both have kate spade embossed on them. The bag is made of wool. Inside the zip pocket is a numbered fabric tag with a holographic strip at the bottom of both sides. What do you think? Is it authentic? Does anyone know the style name of this bag? Thank you so much. Best wishes. If you click on the picture it will take you to my photobucket with ENLARGED VIEWS. Thank you again!

This is a "Mia" from the 2002 "College Stripe" collection.

I've had this bag for 7 or 8 years and never questioned its authenticity, but since I'm planning to sell it, I thought I had better double-check! There is a "Made in USA" tag inside the inner pocket.

Ohhh, this is definitely real. No question. It's from 1998 or 1999. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the collection. This is one of my favorite fall/winter collections that Kate Spade has ever produced. Good luck!

This thread's a gem! I just purchased this bag from an online seller and am in desperate need for some insight. Appreciate your help on this..!

Got this Kate Spade Tarrytown Quinn in Porcelain for SGD300. Seller claimed that she got it for her friend whom didnt like it, and hence had to sell off. Bag came with dust bag and the KS green carecard. When we met up, I pointed out some defects to her (pics included) which she explained that the KS store assistant said were glue stains and normal for the tarrytown totes. Anyone knows if this is the case?


Pictures of the bag itself (Click on the pictures for links to enlarged images)







Glue stains:






Is my KS bag authentic? Are glue-stains normal? Does anyone who owns a KS Quinn tote experienced such issues? Is this a workmanship problem or am I just paranoid?

Sorry for this lengthy post, its my first branded bag ever. =X TIA!

Alescere - Your bag is definitely authentic, no question, but I would not be happy about the glue stains. I actually happen to own a Tarrytown Quinn, and it does not have glue stains. But additionally, this is about a $400 bag. Unless it was originally purchased defective from an outlet or something, it should not have glue stains. I'm not saying it can't happen, but you shouldn't have to assume when purchasing a Kate Spade bag that it will have defects like that. I wonder if they could be removed with leather cleaner??
