I have not been on ebay for quite some time, so have not been paying attention to the fakes. Do they even fake the current designs of KS? It seems the bags would be too whimsical for regular ole labels stuck on, plus the prices are not that high.

Actually, it just seems it's the same old counterfeits still being created and circulated. Most of the time, the counterfeit ones don't even resemble anything kate spade has actually done. Just random (bad) labels stuck on ugly bags that aren't even anything close to what she's done.

I miss her too! I love Kate Spade and I learned a lot about KS fakes from this thread. She worked so hard on this thread and helped other Hall of Shame threads as well (Prada for instance). I was actually wondering why towards the end of November ( I think it was Nov last year), I stopped seeing posts from her, then I read your announcement in the authentication thread about her passing. Made me very sad, but she's in a better place now and perhaps no longer in pain (she was undergoing cancer treatment, right?)

Yes, it was from cancer. She got lung cancer back in 2011... never smoked! And right before she died, it was brain tumors. Poor girl. I miss her so much. Everytime I see a really bad kate spade, I think, "Man, I need to show this to Mary!" But... she's not here... I took her death really hard, even though we'd never even met in person... She was an amazing person...
