Please don't report it. I'm not a KS expert but I don't think it's fake.
BTW, the gallery picture and her other pictures aren't the same bag. The gallery photo has the red stripe on the left and the other pictures show it on the right.
And other listings appear that the bag is made both ways.

BeenBurned is correct; this is an authentic bag. They are made with many different colors and patterns.
Hello all, I found this Kate Spade Samson purse in a vintage store and am wondering if you think it's real. Haven't bought it yet! The label is stiteched on, no weird lettering....no "made in..." tag inside or the hidden silvery strip. Wool seems to be good quality as well as the leather straps-very soft leather. Feet aren't large. Magnetic enclosure. Inside is lined with a stretchy twill. Thank you so much!!!
As far as I know, ALL bags have a "Made in" tag, no matter the collection. ThI do not believe this is authentic.
Hi All,
I'm pretty puzzled by some new listings on eBay that all appear to have some kind of snakeskin trim and a snakeskin label embossed in gold.

Is it authentic? The seller has numerous bags listed as new with tags.
Thanks!

Yes, this is authentic. I have a large shopper with the same color snakeskin handles...
Hi! Can one of you help me and an awesome eBay-er authenticate this bag?

Authentic Sam bag from 1999 gingham collection.

ETA: This listing is 100% legal and authentic but in the future, that seller needs to know that she can't list items with authenticity disclaimers. She knew her bag was authentic and should have referred the "buyer/question-asker" to either tPF or the ebay purse boards.
Even though the listing is authentic, she risks having it reported for having an authenticity disclaimer.
Thanks!! I looked at the 1999 gingham collection and I was thrown off by the bag not having leather handles (and the comment that fakes will have gingham handles).

Sheesh, I"m not a KS expert and should keep my mouth shut.
I take back my comments. UGH!! You might even try posting on the ebay boards where elviscostellofan (the KS expert who wrote the guide) checks in regularly.
I apologize because I think I was wrong.

OMG!! I didn't even notice that.

It is not authentic. The authentic collection has leather handles, and no piping around the top. This is typical of the counterfeits you would frequently see 10 years ago.
There are some very old ones that may not have a country of origin tag -- like, 1994 and 1995. You made the right call on this one, however!
