That, and the sewn zipper pull are sure signs this is FAKE!!

Seller says it's "RARE, vintage, 100% guaranteed authentic"...from an estate sale. Uh huh...and that glued on label?? Seller refers to that as the kate spade "license plate'. So nicely placed...

Report away!!

This seller relisted this bag after eBay had removed it yesterday. Today, she added a photo of the lining to prove it's fake!! Can you say "clash"???
$(KGrHqJHJ!wE9qgSbFDtBPkv(vqpy!~~60_58.JPG

More of that horrible stripe fake lining!!!
$(KGrHqJHJEUE914cuV!zBPkvYkBht!~~60_58.JPG


Seller says this is a "true one of a kind" and "authentic". BLECH!!! It's so ugly, she's giving away the matching wallet!! Claims the bag retails for $250 and the wallet $80. Gimme a break...yet another ugly fake 'bow' bag!!

Right. Kate Spade uses fabric you can buy at any fabric store...ugh! And she also lists a fake LV!

I'm sure there will be more soon...eBay hasn't been too good about removing these lately!

I'll keep reporting it...and she expects to get $80 for it as a starting bid! It's not worth 80 cents!

Here are our messages back and forth-- I used my other ebay ID. Of course, start at the bottom!
Dear heart4u2break,

I'm very sorry about your uncle... and about your fake bag. You're being a smart-alek... not me. There's no need for the sarcasm when I was just trying to help you. kate spade didn't exist 35 years ago. Her company only began in 1992. I worked there from 1998-2002. It was a delightful job that fostered in me a love for and loyalty to her work. Conact eBay if you want to, because I am sure they'd be FAR more interested in the fact that you're ignoring ebay policy and selling a counterfeit. Either way, have a great night. And you're right... no further correspondence necessary!
PS: Have you ever heard of eBay's EMR?

Dear sallymj105,

WRITING IN ALL CAPS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY TONE, I DO IT ALL THE TIME BY HABIT, SRY. I WAS JUST RESPONDING TO YOUR MESSAGE AND YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT IT AT THAT, BUT YOU SEEM TO BE LOOKING FOR A FIGHT OR MAYBE YOUR JUST A COMBATIVE PERSON. SO IM GOING TO KINDLY ASK YOU TO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. I DON'T NEED THE ATTITUDE, OR YOUR I KNOW IT ALL ATTITUDE, AND NOT TO MENTION MY UNCLE HAD A HEART ATTACK YEST. AND IV'E GOT ENOUGH ON MY PLATE THEN TO SIT HERE AND PLAY MESSAGE TAG W/YOU ABOUT HOW YOU WORKED IN A KATE SPADE ESTABLISHMENT 35 YEARS AGO. IF YOU CONTACT ME AGAIN I WILL CALL EBAY AND REPORT YOU FOR HARASSMENT. I HOPE I HAVE MADE MYSELF CRYSTAL CLEAR. THANK YOU.

Dear heart4u2break,

There was nothing "snide" about my tone. Read your own message (written in all caps, nonetheless!) to experience "snide-ness," for lack of a better term. I was just trying to help you. I never said or thought that you were TRYING to dupe anyone, but this purse is fake, fake, fake. You did NOT buy it a kate spade outlet. I worked for kate spade (in an outlet, actually) for over 4 years while in college, and I now authenticate her purses for several online and local consignment companies. I can spot a fake a mile away. Furthermore, it's already made a popular purse forum where the experts on there are talking about and laughing at this monstronsity. kate spade did NOT make this purse. I'm sorry if you're offended, but that was not my intention. The bag is a counterfeit, and it's illegal to sell it. Yes, I'm am 100% sure, as well, that ebay will make a correct judgment. It will be pulled soon, I'm sure. Once again, good luck.

Dear sallymj105,

HI TY SOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR HELPFUL ADVICE/ THROWING YOUR TWO CENTS IN. BTW I DON'T ATTEND PURSE PARTY'S. FOR YOUR INFORMATION I PURCHASED THIS AT AN OUTLET STORE. I'M SURE EBAY WILL LOOK INTO MY LISTING AND THEY WILL MAKE THE JUDGEMENT. I HAVE 100% FEEDBACK, AND I HAVE NEVER TRIED TO PULL A FAST ONE OVER ON ANYONE. APPARENTLY YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THEN TO SEND OUT MESSAGES W/A SNIDE TONE TO PEOPLE ON EBAY. HOWEVER, I'M QUITE IMPRESSED W/YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON KATE SPADE COLLECTIONS...CONGRATS.

Dear heart4u2break,

Hi there. Did you get these at a purse partY? well, wherever you got it, you were lied to. this is a total counterfeit. kate spade never made dotted collection in these colors. Also, that type of metal label was only used on ONE collection-- the Palm Beach Linen. Also, the label on the wallet is slightly crooked! Also, there was only ONE collection with a thin, leather bow-- the Hatteras, and it looked NOTHING like this, and was made in Italy. I'm sorry you were duped, but if someone else buys this, they're going to be totally defrauded. just wanted to let you know so you can remove it before ebay does. good luck!

Oh, the seller of the green monstrosity KNOWS it's fake. She responded to me and was horrified that it's fake-- she didn't know. She sounded sincere and was nice about it. I wonder if she's going to end it, now that she has a bid. See if the integrity is real!!!

It amazes me that everyone who is called out on their rudeness has some kind of family illness. Maybe the "outlet" she bought it from was on a street corner...

And woosh!! That ugly pink mess is GONE!!

Stumbled upon this thread from another forum. You ladies are hilarious and godsends! Kate Spade is my favorite of all designers and I just about completely set my style to everything she makes. It sickens me when I see what people try to pass as "authentic Kate Spade" on sites such as Ebay when it is obvious to anyone familiar with the Kate Spade aesthetic she would never design any of those convoluted messes. I hope the service you ladies are doing will continue because it is definitely needed.
