Kate Spade Kate Spade Hall of shame!

[marissk]

First, the bag above with the fake Burberry plaid lining sold for BIN of $20. Someone flushed $20 down the drain, sadly.

This baffles me...so ugh!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/320865186102?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

What the heck? Someone has bid on this hot mess!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/300677594035?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

http://www.ebay.com/itm/220973247367?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

There are 3 bids on this already. It comes with a really fake label!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/150775495663?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

People are bidding on this one as well! Fake label and fake dot Noel print.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/160760901833?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Just ugh!

Oh dear...

As usual, all reported, etc.

http://glitternglitz.net/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1&sort=20a&filter_id=8. Check out this site!! They blatantly sell fakes and don't care. How is that legal? Their contact address is in Indiana! I tried reporting them to the IACC, but I can't get on their web page tonight for some reason.

Note that they say "designer inspired", which, when translated, means "fake piece of garbage"!!

 

[marissk]

Unfortunately, this fake is gonna sell tonight for big bucks. Bidding is already over $60. But you won't see an authentic fabric label glued on to an authentic suede bag!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251011821478?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Seller says this is authentic...um, not it's not! Fake crooked label, fake fabric, fake everything.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180841084308?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

This is listed for charity, but it's still fake (and kinda ugly!).

http://www.ebay.com/itm/130664047683?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Hee haw! How fake can you get?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/170803026572?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

A colorblock fake...

But check that fake label!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180840630463?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

And it wouldn't hurt to report this outrageous fake that has already sold!

Kate Spade does not use a fake Burberry plaid fabric!

[dawnsfinallywed]

I contacted them, too... gonna wait to see what they do before I report...

 

[marissk]

Sadly this fake sold for $65 and eBay hasn't done a thing about it...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

This has a "matching" fake wallet! Hot mess!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180841289595?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

So ugly!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/270936543867?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Another "matching" fake set! And it has bids!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/300679250560?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Hurl alert!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/320866677325?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Fake fake fur!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200727191119?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Fake label! But "guaranteed authentic"!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251019528594?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Seller lists this ugly fake wallet:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kate-Spade-wallet-/160764265401?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256e4c03b9
And the matching fake bag, which is even uglier!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/handbag-kate-spade-/160764263286?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item256e4bfb76

This seller says she bought this at an estate sale and took it to her jeweler to authenticate it, so it's authentic! Um...I'm no jeweler, but I know FAKE when I see it!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Estate-Sale...102?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item43ae26c48e

And on that note...have a good "authentic" weekend!

 

[dawnsfinallywed]

Where do people get these hideous bags!?

 

[marissk]

Good question! The flood of fakes never ends...it just gets uglier!

The ugly circle wallet has been removed, but the matching ugly purse is still listed! What the heck??

 

[dawnsfinallywed]

The moron selling the aqua wallet has this to say...

"yes this is an authentic kate spade. i checked the website out u gave me and i can tell u that some of those bags that person is claiming to be authentic are clearly poor knock offs. how do i know? because the label is stitched to the front of the handbags. kate spade DOES NOT stitch their labels. they look like they've been glued on. please familiarize yourself with this fact by contacting kate spade directly not some random "opinion" website. thanks for bringing it to my attention though, it was definitely a valid question. thanks for your interest in my items. happy ebaying!!!"

Mwwwwahahahaha!! I feel a $40 project coming on. Evil me...

 

[marissk]

This one is still listed; never heard back from seller. Both bag and wallet are fakes.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180841289595?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Check the fake label...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180844310656?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

This fake has a ridiculous red/white checked lining. Sure...a designer would do that! And it's got bids already.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/280847478577?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Speaking of ridiculous...still listed and has a bidder.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/320866677325?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Close, but, check that fake lining!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/130666709493?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Fake multi-stripe; check this one's fake label!

And GAD! The horrible lining!! If the outer fabric and the lining look like they were put together by a 2 year old, it might be fake...ya think??

http://www.ebay.com/itm/270937668730?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Ugh...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200729198501?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Two fakes in one listing!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/260982955884?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

More ugh!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/170807367895?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Close, but a black/white checked lining? Nope...fake!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/120879917824?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Seller says "100% AUTHENTIC"...I say 100% Fake!! Check the fake label (but it's a fake 'bow' bag, so the label is just another strike against it).

http://www.ebay.com/itm/270938320561?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

So fake fur...so fake everything!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200727191119?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Sigh...

marissak - Don't want to be a pest, but I think the suede bag with the brown leather handles is/was real. I wrote a long post which I don't think anyone read on older suede bags on the C&A forum a few days ago:
http://forums.ebay.com/db2/topic/Cl...ies/Real-Kate-Spade/5200062940?#msg5201043900

Every other bag posted is fake, obviously! I just thought I should point that out since there seems to be some confusion about fabric labels on leather bags. That rule applies truly to the smooth or textured leather bags (and then there is an exception - the 1996 patent leather collection) but not suede (although it's been about 12 years since a suede collection had a fabric label). Hope that helps! ~Kat

 

[elviscostellofan]

Some of these are just . . . astounding!

Oh, wow!! I stand (and sit) corrected!! I knew that I wouldn't see a fabric label on leather, and I thought suede as well. Thanks for letting me (and everyone else!) know!

Come on...you WANT that multi-stripe with the pastel stripe lining!!

Just how much of that crappy fabric did the counterfeiters have???
