How to buy Authentic Kathy Van Zeeland

Kathy Van Zeeland handbags have become the new "IT" bag. They have been featured in every high fashion magazine from Cosmo to In-STYLE. But, even the creative, fun &  affordable looks of Kathy Van Zeeland are being duplicated and sold on E-Bay. So, how do you know that your bag is authentic?

First, there are quite a few Registered Kathy Van Zeeland Dealers on E-Bay. This means that you have to purchase a minimum amount of bags directly from Kathy Van Zeeland. Most if not all bags are current with the Magazines and any question that you, as a client, may have can be fielded through your Registered Kathy Dealer. Of course that is your best bet. But, if you choose a private seller, spotting the fakes is easy.

First, Kathy puts her "pocket book" logo on the bottom of most of her bags or as a little puffy pocket book charm on her zipper pulls. (This goes for her key chains as well.)

If you see any plastic stones...it's not a Kathy...Kathy Van Zeeland only uses High quality crystal on her handbags. You may find, once in a while, a plastic dangle on one of her key charms.

Next, Her Kathy Van Zeeland logo can be seen immediately inside any on of her bags on a blue label and her lining has the KVZ logo all over it. I had trouble uploading photos so please go to our E-Bay store, The Things I Love Interiors, for examples. (You can also find lots of examples in the photo selection of many other "Kathy" listings)

Also, all Kathy bags have an original KVZ price tag on it along with a suggested retail price, and a brief description of the bag, collection, and color. These prices are not changed from business to business, they are Kathy's suggested retail and are the same for everyone. If this tag has a different price on it than what is shown on Kathy's website then it is not authentic.

Kathy also now includes a brochure with almost all of her pieces, including wallets.

I hope this guide has been helpful. If I can answer any questions for you, feel free to contact me.

Make sure if you are purchasing an Aunthentic Kathy Van Zeeland Article that you get exactly that, an Authentic Kathy Van Zeeland!!!!
