Kate Spade added serial numbers to the creed in the 1970's - each bag had a unique number - a 'serial number' in the true sense of the word. Logos on every material should be straight and clear with consistent spacing between each letter.ġ) Bags from the late 1960's did not have any serial number. Leather stamps will display the same logo as fabric labels. The 't' in 'kate spade'should always align with the 'N' in New York, and the 'K' in New York should always be paralleled with the 'a' in 'Spade'.ģ) Fabric labels will always be attached with real stitching, and will never be glued on. If the logo ever features uppercase letters it is a fake. They generally appear on the front top or bottom of a handbag.Ģ) Lettering on all labels should be lowercase (other than 'NEW YORK' which is always right under 'kate spade'), the same size, and the same font.

If someone is selling you a 'Kate Spade' bag which is imprinted with the letter 'G' then logically it must be fake.ģ) The best way to tell is to go to the Kate Spade website and look at the real thing, and then compare it to what you're looking and see if the pattern is different. Note: Sometimes the pattern does not line up on side seams as this is nearly impossible to do.Ģ) Sometimes the 'CC' will actually be a 'GG'. The pattern should line up on any front or back pockets, so that it looks like there is no break in the pattern. The center seam should go straight down through the middle of the CC's, and the pattern should be aligned horizontally and vertically.

Also, the pattern should line up and start in the center of the front panel of the bag (same with the back panel).

Except for some newer patterns, like the 'optic' or my new favorite 'scarf print,' the tip of the horizontal 'C' facing the other 'C' should touch. Pattern on Signature Fabric of Kate Spadeġ) The 'C' pattern will be crooked.
