Sadly, this bag is getting lots of bids, but on closer inspection, it's fake!! Check out the black/white lining with the blank label tab inside, and the pointy feet are wrong, too!

This fake is also still getting bids. I contacted the seller...no response.

I wrote this seller, as well. Here's her response.

Hey. **** YOU. I've not represented anything for what it's not. I've done nothing but describe the item for what it is. This was my Mom's bag. She recently died from cancer and I"m trying to raise money to help cover funeral costs and such. **** you and your high horse opinion. If you truely feel it isn't a genuine kate spade, then move the **** on and don't bid. There is no need to be a huge **** and provide your opinion about things. Are you the KAte Spade, the designer? Then shut the **** up with your foul attitude and sour thoughts. I don't need it right now. Move on please.

Funny how everyone's story is always that it's their "mom's" bag and "mom" has recently passed away....
 
Those are some of the most hideous things I've ever seen. Do people REALLY think that a designer of $300-$400 purses would make such garbage? Seriously!?!
Apparently! I think it's the reason why we don't see fakes of some of the new (post 2006 styles); if the horrific "bow" bag is still selling, why bother working hard to make a really good counterfeit!

Makes our mission as authenticators (or in my case, an authenticator-wannabe-in-training) easier! See a big piece of crap with a crooked label?? Ding! Ding! It's fake!

What gets me is how people, like this one:

cling to the myth its authentic.

This shows that even an awesome seller can be duped by someone.
