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!

Yes, this is a knockoff. kate spade's SAM bags do not have gingham interior, and they do not have feet. Check http://ihatecounterfeitbags.info/newnyloncollections. Where did you get the bag?

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:

I would say that this is real. The "kate spade" engraved on the metal hardware makes me think so.

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.

I thought I already answered this, but I didn't see the post... Anyway, no, it's a fake. kate spade has NEVER made a cherry print... ever.

I actually bought it at a small boutique type store, and thought it was cute! I obviously was not very educated on Kate Spade and her designs! I am starting to truly have an extreme dislike (I'd like to use a different word) for people whom sell and make knockoff's! Very upsetting! Well, at least all this time I've owned this purse, I was dumb and enjoyed it - LOL! Thank you so much for your help!

The bag looks real to me. I've put items on ebay hoping that they would bid up, and ended up having them sell for far less than I anticipated. The lining and the inside label are consistent with authentic KS bags.

that's real. everything looks good. :tup: the newer leather bags have zipper hardware like yours, with that little leather pull that's embossed with the stylized KS logo. your bag also has "larabee dot" lining.

it's mostly the nylon bags that are faked, and there are some nondescript pleather fakes, but they usually have incorrect hardware and lining.
