This is probably the question I get the most, and the one that I am the least qualified to answer. The best thing you can do is Scotch Guard your nylon bag when you purchase it to protect it from damage. You can usually wipe your nylon bag clean with a damp cloth. If this does not work, call KS customer service at 1-800-519-3778 and describe the stain to them.

The best seller, and the obvious choice, would be the black nylon Sam. I wouldn't get that one, though. If you really want a fabulous bag, and you have to pick only one, I'd say get a boarskin bag. There are so many shapes and colors, one will definitely work for you. They are about twice as expensive as the nylon ones, but you can find them on sale and you can find them on eBay.

Unfortunately, eBay sellers often take horrible photographs. If the bag is something like a cherry print, or something else that Kate has never made, I can tell you even with a bad photo. However, if it's a fake of a bag Kate has made, like a nylon bag or a leather tote, I will need to see a picture of the whole bag, a good close-up of the label and any other identifying marks such as country of origin tag (if it's there).

I believe this is a complete list: USA, Italy, China, Taiwan, Dominican Republic (very limited production there), Indonesia, and the Phillipines. Most of the nylon bags were made in the USA until 2002, but now they are all made in China and Indonesia. All of the nylon accessories I have seen were all made in China. Most of the leather bags are made in Italy, and straw bags are typically made in Taiwan and the Phillipines. Kate Spade bags frequently have small tags with production numbers.

Some of them do, and some of them don't. Both types of magnetic closures are currently in production. There is no rhyme or reason of which I am aware as to why some bags have the engraving and some do not. Just bear in mind that a bag is not fake simply because it lacks this engraving, and it is not authentic simply because its magnetic closure is engraved. Yes. It is really true. If you want a cute designer bag with a cherry print, check out Isabella Fiore's designs. See similar questions...

Almost all of them will have black nylon lining that is heavy and coated so you can clean it easily. There are a few diaper bags that have special lining, such as the Highland Tweed diaper bag which is lined in hair calf. As far as the nylon diaper bags are concerned, these bags will all be lined in heavy black nylon. I've seen some nylon fakes recently with pink lining; please be aware that the nylon diaper bag does NOT have pink lining (nor does any other nylon bag!) See similar questions...

We recommend hand-washing your TOM BIHN bag with a mild soap -- environmentally-friendly dish soaps work well, but as always, with any soap, test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the bag before you use it on the entire bag. Fill your sink or bath tub with warm water, add a little soap (a little goes a long way!), and let the bag soak for a half hour. See similar questions...

If your bag is a fabric bag, just take a wet cloth and wipe the stain clean. Do not be afraid to rub a little to get the stain out. Let the bag dry and use! If your bag is a leather bag, you can apply a clear leather protector cream on the leather parts before you start to use the bag. Like all other leather bags, if there is a stain that you cannot remove, please take the bag to a professional leather repair shop. See similar questions...

Knowing when to clean your filter is mostly a matter of feel or buying an air gauge. If the flow is falling you need to clean. When to replace your filter is tougher. You have to monitor particulate count, pressure, or be conservative and do early filter replacement. With particle counters far too expensive for most, it comes down to buying a pressure gauge and carefully tracking the pressure or just regularly replacing filters. See similar questions...

Our canvas models can be machine washed. The first course of action is to spot clean the bag. If the canvas bag still needs additional cleaning, then it can be machine washed. Take off the shoulder strap and spray any big stains with spot remover, then wash using the regular cycle on warm/cold and hang to dry. We also recommend washing on the gently cycle, and including a few towels so that the bag isn't by itself in the washing machine. See similar questions...

We recommend hand washing with a light amount of soap and water.

I seem to remember another quote being suggested - "to read makes our speaking English good." But I think either one would be a great header for this thread. Victor, I'm leaving tomorrow for a yearlong round-the-world trip. First I'm going to Cape Town (via a daylong layover in London, where I will get to meet FayJay!) for six months, then (hopefully) a few weeks in India in December/January, then Australia, then I'll come home via San Francisco.
