This is probably the ugliest fake I've ever seen. Hideous. It's been pulled, though, so that's good!
Excuse me while I go hurl. Check out the label...isn't that a slight clue?? The REALLY belongs in the Hall of Shame!

I've noticed that eBay is quicker to remove a listing when I report that the seller is disclaiming authenticity. This seller stated "Might be a knockoff". Oh, what gave it away?? The crooked fake label??
I've been reporting at least 15-20 fakes a day...it's a good thing I don't have a life!

Yeah, I report a ton, as well. I wish I knew about other brands! I'd go after them, too!

Seller's reply to my notification that it's fake:
Thanks for the opinion, but if you visit ihatecounterfeitbags.info/katespadelabels,
You will see that this is an older label (Matches perfectly), and the two interior colors you mentioned are not the only patterns on the inside. In fact, the interior pattern shown on that site to be authentic perfectly matches this bag, as well as showing bows on many Kate Spade bags. This is an import nylon bag as well, which is where Kate's Nylon line is made. This may be one you are not familiar with, but as far as every website I have seen is concerned, it appears to be authentic. Either way you choose to decide, the price is extremely reasonable for any handbag.

Wow, she couldn't be more wrong. This AIN'T authentic!!! The lining is a combination of the red blocks and sprinkled K. And pointy feet...hello!
There are a lot of bags there with stupid bows stuck to them....and other than 2 photos of authentic Hatteras bags, they are all photos of FAKES!
She actually has TWO of these fake multi-stripes. But it's okay... they won't be on there long. I've reported them.

I just saw the second one!! ZAP! ZAP!! Go get 'em Dawn!!
Actually, on Kat's website, she shows a photo of the label on her first bag as a fake!!
ETA: Here's her second response...nasty!
Thank you for you time, because you obviously spent a LOT of it worrying about something that you can choose to have nothing to do with. Thanks also for your "expert" opinion. I don't know you and everyone has an opinion. As far as I know, you are probably some nurse that lives in Delaware or New Hampshire with nothing better to do than email people's auctions to try to get their items cheaper. Again, you have nothing except your opinion, which as I previously stated, everyone has. Your opinion of your personal expertise is appreciated, but not relevant. Also, it was never stated that these were "Authentic", only described exactly how the item appears. If you have a terrible issue that you may or may not lose sleep over tonight (or the next week), then please, do not bid and move on.
Thanks for your time.
A lot of it.

That's okay! I just messaged her, too... from 2 different accounts. And I reported those ugly bags. They WILL be pulled. However, I hope she doesn't think it was you that reported her. And she has a feedback of, what? Zero?? I mean, she knows nothing about ebay OR about kate spade, obviously. What a dumb B.
Hey, if it keeps ONE person from being defrauded from buying that fake ****, it is well worth the time and effort!! Besides, it's fun!!!!
You guys have way too much time on your hands.
As funny as your posts are, I think you're missing the point. It's keeping poor suckers safe from fake crap everywhere! And I can only speak for myself, but when a**hole-ish people (for lack of a better phrase) are nasty and rude, it's sort of satisfying to see their efforts at defrauding people waylaid.
Besides, it's a bastardization of someone's creative efforts. Not to mention, most counterfeits are made with the blood, sweat, and tears of children. They pay no taxes, which further puts a burden on the economy... I know a lot of people think it's a cheaper way to get the purses they want, but it's illegal, and immoral. It's fraud. AND, I have a brother that works for the IACC. They raid warehouses and stores that sell this stuff. He's been shot at over this crap. So... You know... it's not a light-hearted situation...

Lol, what does living in Delaware or New Hampshire have to do with anything? Just because they are states that happen to have no sales tax?
I think it's even sadder that people in this country deliberately want to rip people off on sites like eBay by selling worthless crap that supports criminals.
I mean, I think it's all a matter of personal taste. I would NEVER pay for a cell phone. EVER. I know people who buy $200, $300 cell phones. And then there are some people who wouldn't buy a purse that cost that amount. I prefer to buy a high-quality purse that is going to last for a really long time. I have 'kate spades' from 1996 through 2011, and the old ones still look as great as the new ones. This is not the case for a cheap Walmart bag. So... it's all a matter of priorities and what one values to be worthy of that expense... ya know?
