I want to purchase this but I wasn't sure if it's authentic. It seems like it but I can't tell with the blurry pictures.

Hi...this particular forum is for fakes, and there is a separate forum for authenticating kate spade...

All that said, this is authentic; the license plate label is exactly as it should be, the lining is correct, and the strap is wrapped in paper, just as it should be.
 
eBay has started up another "You Can't Fake Fashion" campaign, but why are these that I've reported over and over still listed?? Huh?? eBay! Wake up!!

Here we go...

Got a bid of .99!! Listed by a TRS with over 7000 positive feedbacks!

Yup, you can't fake fashion!
 
I didn't realise that people were faking Kate Spade bags. I bought two Kate Spade bags when in NY recently from her shop & now look at her website daily looking at all the lovely bags. I recently purchased a Kate Spade book of the month clutch Pride & Prejudice for over $600.00 & I am now worried that I have purchased a fake! I have not yet received this clutch but would like to post pictures on this site when received for your expert knowledge. How do you load a picture when you wish to have a bag authenticated? Thanks

Hi...

I'm glad you're looking at the "Hall of Shame"! As you can tell, most of the fakes are incredibly obvious...ugly stripes, horrible things with bows stuck to them, etc. Luckily, the counterfeiters haven't replicated anything accurately, especially not the book clutches. Whilst I think $600 is quite dear, I seriously doubt you bought a fake. But please do post it on the "Authenticate This..." kate spade board. I'm quite green with envy; tis my favourite book!

You can use the little icon above to insert an image or you can simply paste it into your post from your own clipboard (copy and paste).

Glad to see another KS love from down under here!

The spacing on the label is way off and the black/white check lining give this away.

For some reason, in spite of reporting this over and over and having ECF confirm this is fake, eBay still won't remove it...grrr...
