I'm 99% sure it's fake. For several reasons: 1. the cherry print thing is true, kate spade has never made a cherry print; 2. the stitching just looks a bit off to me; 3. the feet are too big. most fabric kate spade bags don't have feet and the ones that do have very small feet that barely stick out.
I'm really sorry for your friend but it's probably fake.

Hi,
I was an avid Kate Spade collector from about '97-'01, and I had around 25 bags at one point. I am CERTAIN that this is a fake. There was never a cherry print available from her. It actually looks a lot like the Shoshanna bikini print that was popular at that time. Sorry!

I have heard over and over that Kate Spade did not make a cherry print, but my friend swears this is a vintage bag and one of her first prints early on. The lining is the typical cotton twill, with a stitched on fabric tag ...the bag is cotton canvas. There are no labels inside with country of origin. Can someone pleas verify that this IS the real thing. I purchased it at a Consignment shop today and want to resell it. Any help would be great or how I can have a true authentication done.

Yes, your friend is wrong. It is a fake. kate spade definitely did NOT ever make a cherry bag. Check these sites to verify...

Hi there, can someone tell me if this purse is authentic or fake?

The shape seems real, and it has a product number tag on the inside with the metallic kate spade string running through it, however the bag has a normal YKK zipper and zipper pull, and my other Kate Spade with a similar shape has a nice little leather zipper pull and a gold zipper.

Here are some photos:

Thanks everyone!

I apologize if I am doing this incorrectly, I am new to the purse forum world. I bought a Kate Spade purse and I have always believed it was real until I went to sell it on ebay and a bidder asked me a question regarding having the feet on the bottom - now I've been searching the internet in a frantic confusion - there are so many Kate Spade fakes out there its unreal! I never knew this! Please tell me if I got ripped off so I don't rip someone else off - thank you!

Pictures, please, when you get it! I don't know how I missed that sale, but it's probably a good thing as far as my bank account is concerned. I did get a Tompkins Square Billie during the sample sale for $139 so that should suffice...for now!

And it's lovely in foft, shimmer (metallic) black leather...great pockets/compartments too. I originally thought it was the same as a Karen, but I think the Karen only has the one main compartment. :yahoo:
