Thank you, Kat. I'm happy that my initial concerns were correct as I thought I was really losing my mind (a short trip, of course!).

Fake. Nylon bags do not have gingham lining.
ETA: I just opened the auction on my computer and everything about this bag is fake from the lining (which I see is actually houndstooth) to the stitching to the label.
That's what I told the guy. He insisted it was real because he bought it from a wealthy woman who "doesn't buy fakes." lol!
This seller swears this was purchased at Nordstrom. It's a multi-stripe with BLACK handles and black/white gingham interior. Is there ANY way this could be real?? I say, no. What say ya'll??

Those pink stripes are the ugliest things ever. I can't believe anyone can't see how so NOT kate spade those are!! Is that one on ebay?
I also say "no" for the following reasons (let's see if I'm right...):
- If it were authentic, it wouldn't have "feet" (grommets??) on the bottom
- If it were authentic, it wouldn't have a black and white check lining
No, this is not authentic. Authentic stripe collections
have the sprinkle "k" lined interiors and they have
a shiny appearance from the sateen material.
Hi all,
Here's an interesting listing on eBay:

I vote fake. I've never seen a patchwork bag from KS and there's no inside label, just that blank tab. I've seen a similar label on a specific line from KS, but it could just as easily be sewn on to this bag. The dustbag...well, we know that's meaningless.
OK, experts, what say you???

It's 100% fake. As for selling it, I'm not going to preach about selling fakes or how it's illegal, but it is illegal. You can't list it on eBay because it's against their policies to list fakes, even if you disclose that it's fake. If it were mine, I'd just toss it into the trash rather than try to sell it to someone else because I'm pretty much against the entire concept of fakes, so I can't advise you as to what to ask for it.
