It is estimated that counterfeiting costs the United States economy 250 to 500 billion dollars a year.

Our Brand Protection and Anti-Counterfeiting Efforts

To help protect our kate spade brand and consumers from counterfeits, we work with law enforcement and customs officials in the United States and around the world to stop the shipment and sale of counterfeit goods. We also monitor online and offline channels for counterfeit merchandise.

Authorized Channels

Authentic Kate Spade products are sold by Kate Spade retail and outlet stores and online at www.katespade.com, katespadeoutlet.com or at authorized department stores and specialty stores. To find a store near you, visit https://www.katespade.com/stores.

We do not respond to requests to authenticate product or identify authorized distributors. Please note that if a deal or price sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We do not sell our products at flea markets, through street vendors, or in kiosks in malls.

Be wary of counterfeit websites which claim to be “Official.” Websites offering counterfeit product often use misspellings of the actual word “Kate Spade” in the url. They may also imitate the layout and overall appearance of katespade.com. These websites may also appear on search engine results. A few examples are: Auction websites may have counterfeit goods available for purchase despite language on the product’s listing claiming that it is “Authentic.”
