Thanks so much for posting that info. It reminded me of when I was in D.C. last year. I was touring the GW campus and I came upon a cart vendor right next to the Metro station selling every kind of KS bag possible. I knew they were fakes but I wanted to look anyway. Very poor quality: bad stitching, faded colors, lopsided shapes, lables peeling off...
I saw a tv program some time ago with Ms. Spade telling/showing consumers how to spot the fake bags from the real ones. I'm going to keep this website address for future refrence.
