New here!
My first Kate Spade comes with a small story, and a question! My parents went on vacation this week, and my mother wanted to bring me home something. I told her she didn't have to, but she felt badly because all I ever do is work and I haven't taken time of since 2009. She spent her whole vacation looking for something to bring me home and then remembered, when she was shopping, that I have been saying for, forever, I wanted a Kate Spade bag (I saw one, way back in the day that I loved, and kicked myself forever afterwards for not putting out the money and buying it).
When they got home today, my dad came around the corner with a paper bag from the store and said that he had gone in to the store because my mom had said I wanted a bag from there and asked for just the shopping bag and that they happily gave him one. I laughed and laughed, because, well my dad WOULD do something like that just to make me smile and I thanked him for my new paper shopping bag. Then he said 'But they said I could only have it if we bought a purse..." and handed me the dust bag with the purse!
Apparently my mom spent over an hour in the store trying to figure out the best one for me. I can't believe how much care she took in to picking one out, and I'm so happy she did.
Prior to tonight, I had no idea that there were things like MFF or FP but I've certainly learned all about them now! I have no idea if the purse she got me is MFF or FP, but I love that she took the care to buy it for me. So, without further ado a somewhat poor quality photo from my iPad:

So my question is, is it a MFF or a FP one that she got at the outlet? As far as my googling skills go it's called an Alexander Avenue Large Catalina (in black, obviously!). I tried to find a list of things that would let you know the difference between the two but so far have come up with nothing.
can you post a picture of the green KS tag with the price on it? If it's a MFF, it will have two price lines. If it is a FP, it will have only one line. If the price sticker is missing, but the tag is still there, post the style number.
Also, this is posted in many places, but just because something is MFF does not mean that it is not as good as a FP item. There are several lines that are MFF only, like the wellesley line, that a lot of us here think are better than some of the FP lines.
