Counterfeit Cosmetic Cases
You won't see a LOT of counterfeit cosmetic cases, but they definitely exist and show up frequently on eBay. There aren't a lot of tips for spotting fake cosmetic bags; basically, just check the label very carefully. Also, be very mindful as to whether or not the case is made in a fabric that Kate Spade has never actually used! For instance, if you see a cosmetic in cherry print fabric or fashion girls fabric, hit the back button. Here are some fakes:
