The thing is, for the most part, kate spade bags aren't replicated at all. Counterfeiters simply stick a fake kate spade label on any old random bag-- most of the time, these bags don't even remotely resemble what kate spade has done.
And "who is cheaper at the time" doesn't have anything to do with where kate spade has bags made. It changed to China-- for the majority of her bags-- after Liz Claiborne bought the company in 2006. Before that time, leathers were made in Italy, just about everything else was made in USA.

If Kate Spade didn't keep changing where they manufacture their bags they wouldn't be so easy to fake. Sometimes they're made in China, the US, Korea depending on who is cheaper at the time....the higher end labels like Chanel and Louis Vuitton always manufacture their bags in the same factories. The consistencies make them more difficult to replicate

The seller of this hot mess changed the listing to remove "kate spade" from her description after it was reported as a fake but continues to show photos of this counterfeit just to make a few bucks. Report away!!!
