New to Kate Spade

hicindy2 — Wed, 23 Jul 2014 21:29:37 GMT

I went to Nordie's Rack (Roseville, Ca) and picked up a Kate Spade handbag for 50% off because I really wanted a deep blue bag for Fall. Goes with all my Chico's Zenergy stuff.

I like the rolled handles and bowler style. Here is a picture of the bag. I conditioned the leather and plan to keep it away from bad weather.

This line is lightweight and very good looking leather. Quite pricey though. Are there Kate Spade fans out there? Are they more "special occasion" bags?

I really like Kate Spade bags and LV bags and Coach and Balenciaga and...you get the picture! Even though some of my bags are very expensive bags I still carry them as day-to-day bags. I love them and bought them to use, not to put back in their slipcovers. I say carry it whenever you want, then every day is a special occasion!

OMG, I'm a HUGE Kate Spade fan!!!!! I own over 25 bags, several wallets, dresses, shoes and coats!!!!!! Everything is made beautifully and will last you a lifetime not to mention the incredible style and quality of leather they are known for. I can spot a KS bag anywhere. I have some KS bags that were $1,000 and I use every single one of my bags daily. I don't save anything for a special occasion because I consider all of them special. They work with all of my outfits, even jeans and transform any outfit into something special. Congrats on your first KS bag. I'm betting it won't be your last!!

P.S. Sign up on their Facebook page and you will be notified when they have surprise sales (which they have often). I have purchased $500 - $600 bags for $175 or less !!!!! My husband buys KS for me all the time and he carries Jack Spade bags for work and wears Jack Spade pants, jackets and shirts.

I love KS. I don't have any of her handbags yet though. I really want her clutch bags that look like classic books. If you sign up for the emails you'll get notified when they have their $75% off sales.

Nice! I have the same handbag (the "Pippa") in black with beige handles. I love it! The leather is so soft and lightweight and the long strap is perfect for crossbody wear. I only have one other KS bag, but I see more in my future because the quality is great. Enjoy!

Thats correct but Kate Spade also has surprise sales on their Facebook page and your notified through Facebook. Its a good idea to sign up on both.

Love the blue bag! I am so glad to know this color will be popular this fall; it is one of my favorites but hard to find until recently.

Kate Spade has some outlets but not sure where they are other than NYC; you might track them down on the website.

Love Kate Spade handbags and they have great sales. My optician recently started carrying Kate Spade frames and I love those too.

Enjoy the new handbag...gorgeous color.

Hi Cindy seen you shopped in Roseville, I go there when I visit my grands in Elk Grove, but live in the Bay. You need to stop at the outlets, in Vacaville or Livermore, both have KS stores, and they are great. Vacaville one just opened, stop in, maybe I'll see U there!!

That's so cool! I'm in Sacramento! We gotta have a handbag shopping day one day

Ohhhhh my. I didn't know about KS in Livermore. I have been to the Dooney store there.

I also try to stay out of Dillard's (Stockton) because of all the beautiful Brahmin selection.

Pretty bag and hoping you enjoy it! I like (don't love) KS bags. They're very nice bags and well made. Still, they haven't captured me, as other brands have. Clearly though, the brand has it's fans and with good reason! I also enjoy some of this brand's fragrance and items for the home.

The merchandise in the outlets are made specifically for the outlets. Once in a while you will find a some left over inventory from the Kate Spade Speciality stores (which are their primary stores).

Hi Cindy, your blue Kate Spade bag is so nice! I love 80% of Kate Spade products like the one you just bought. I'm actually about to buy a similar bag but in a more neutral color because I am absolutely in love with top-handle bags with straps. Know why?? Cause like yours, the bag can be used for both day-to-day uses AND special occasions. If the strap is removable, boom you got yourself a sweet bag for a special event. If you're a busy woman and need a day to day bag, put that strap on and you got yourself a nice satchel type bag! That's why those are my kind of bags. Hope this helps! (:

It does help...sometimes you just want a sleek bag that is versatile. And both lightweight and luxe, which was a happy surprise.

I have a couple Kate Spade bags, and they can really be used as either a dressy purse or just t-shirt and jeans kind of a day. Her handbags are great quality and when they have sale items on their website they are a great deal!

Oh I only carry Kate Spade bags pretty much! Love her things! I own many other KS items too! I even splurged and got some gorgeous beachy KS dinnerware for my newly renovated cottage. I'm a complete Kate Spade fanatic! I have some of her purses that I've carried for years and years and they look and wear like new! You will be very happy with the KS brand!
