Found this KS at my thrift store for $2.
Anyone know the name?
It is a metallic silver color.
I'm a recently new Kate Spade lover! Was recently in Vegas, fell in love with her purses, and purchased my first one at the store in the Pallazo. I'm now searching ebay, but boy is it tough to determine what's real and what's not (and I've done a ton of research). My biggest confusion is whether or not her leather bags have the metal label on the front. How about these two:I couldn't help but notice that a lot of people are trying to get a Kate Spade sub-forum started. The best way to do that is, not only to ask (make your wishes known here http://forum.purseblog.com/feedback-dropbox/how-many-people-would-want-see-kate-spade-108192.html), but to have several threads about the brand that are active and current.
So for all you Kate Spade fans and owners out there. . . . . SHOW US YOUR KATE SPADE BAGS!

The second one definitely looks like an outlet bag, not sure about first one(thinking it might be from outlet?). The outlet bags usually have kate spade written interior linings. Lots of times the outlet bags will have plates on the front instead of the gold embossed name. Not always the case though, but typically from what I have seen. Anyone else have any more info feel free to chime in. Hope that helps. [emoji3]
Edit - looking at first pic again I do believe it was from the outlet cause I can see the kate spade written lining peeking out a tiny bit in the 1st pic.
Gosh! Wow! Thanks for responding so quickly. So, is purchasing an outlet bag not a genuine kate spade, or is it just lesser quality kate spade? Also, from what I'm hearing, if I want the genuine kate spade handbag, I should be looking for the gold embossed leather label rather than the metal label as well as a lining without any writing?
Sure thing! [emoji3]
An outlet bag is still a kate spade bag, it's just made for the outlet and not the boutique. It's not necessarily lesser quality, but lots of times the details and quality aren't on par with boutique. It kinda just depends. Confusing. I know. [emoji14]
Each boutique line at kate spade has a different lining. For example, the Cobble Hill has a striped lining (I love it!), which is typically black and white or beige and white. I'm most familiar with the Cobble Hill lining because I tend to favor it and most of my bags come from
that line. I'm less familiar with the other boutique lines. I do know that the outlet bags tend to have the kate spade writing in them, colors can vary. I bought my first ks outlet bag recently (only one I own). I have to say it's pretty good quality (did my research first).
Outlet bags are marked down lower than boutique bags and they often have regular extra % off sales. There are a lot of sellers that won't list a bag as an outlet bag and the sell price can be a bit inflated. If you're ever concerned of outlet vs boutique, and authenticity, def post on this forum. There are a lot of knowledgeable folks around. [emoji3]
Hope that helps! Oh and def post pix of any new goodies! [emoji3]
Your welcome. I only saw one of this bag. It's possible there could have been more. I went the day after Christmas and it was very crowded.
Thanks again for all your help. I've really been doing my homework and came across these two listed on ebay. They look really fake - bad fakes. Am I correct?
