I bought my first Kate Spade yesterday

Laura14 — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 13:51:50 GMT

I went up to the local outlets with some of my family and my mom went into the Kate Spade store after I told her I would not set foot in it because I was drooling at the window over most of what I saw.

I ended up getting a $400 bag I love plus a $100 wallet for $180.00. I was hugging and fondling just about everything I saw. I have been a Coach girl for years but they just don't excite me anymore. Boy KS sure does.

If you have an outlet near you, 70% off everything and they have lovely classic and holiday designs in stock. My mom picked up a cute velour bag for my niece for $54. If she is your thing, run now!

@Laura14-

I've always thought she had the most beautiful handbags and just like Coach, you can recognize them even amoungst a whole store of handbags.

They are so well made and pretty.

I saw some of her notepads and smaller things yesterday in a gift store and now just looking at them makes me sad that she is no longer here.

But I know the feeling you have. I never got one but always wanted to.

I'm sure you will love having it

@Laura14@ok girl..sounds fabulous but you didn’t post a picture.I have to see it so

I can be truly jealous.

Sounds like you had a nice shopping trip with your mom.I like visits that include activities esp. shopping with other women to make the hunt more exciting.I remember a joke I once read ,”shoppping with my husband is like hunting with the game warden”.The men in my family are the get in and get out type....can do a whole mall in 10 minutes.

CONGRATS @Laura14.

What a steal.

Funny you said this....I as well went to the outlet and purchased a 178.00 Spade wallet and with the huge discount...it came out to 48.00 with tax. I am giving it to my niece as she graduates from Clemson in Dec...I will put money in it. I think it will be a nice gift.

You MUST post a picture of it.

You will love her stuff. IT really holds up. L O V E .....Im happy for you and your huge deal.

Sorry! How dare I not do that. Here she is. I am not very familiar with KS but I think the wallet was named Stacey and I can't remember the name of the bag.

Okay the color didn't come out. They are both actually a deep plum and yes I am loving her bags already. This is the heaviest bag I've ever carried. It just screams with quality and me. I am a purple, bling, whiplash lover and I got it all in one.

@Skididdy Your niece will love that! What a great gift!

HOLY COW....you got a huge bargain.

She is gorgeous. The color , the style, the shape, the accents on the bag.

Wear her in good health.

Also when you add things to your home, send photos.

PS I love how the straps stop in the front. Very cool detail.

Thanks @Skididdy. I just finished putting the home together for the most part Sunday. Just need to hang the pictures and I'll take a photo shoot for you. I am honored you want to take a peek.

my sisters-in-law are all fans of KS. they buy a lot of her bags and accessories. when my husband buys them gifts, that’s what he buys for them. i’ve never bought one for myself.

@Laura14 All my handbags are by Kate Spade and I purchased all on sale. Sign up for emails on the Kate Spade website as they offer sale bags with a 30 to 40% discount off the sale price once in a while. I do own one Coach bag. I have a metallic wallet I purchased last year after Christmas and I love it. Enjoy your bag and wallet. Happy Holidays.

Thanks @Katcat1! I am becoming quite the fan. I bought a set of her dishes and some homeware when I moved a month ago and I love it too. Glad to find a line I really enjoy again.

@Laura14 Last year after Christmas, I also purchased a tea kettle in off white with black polka dots. They do have some great sales.

Re: I bought my first Kate Spade yesterday

Laura14 — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 18:59:17 GMT

@Katcat1 I love her dots! I actually went with the stripe and I am going back to Dillards to add to it. Thanks for the heads up!

Very pretty! Love me some KS.

There is currently a sale on surprisedotkatespadedotcom which I am trying to avoid because I do not "need" any more purses! ;-)

Laura14 — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 19:54:53 GMT

@QsMom Thanks! It's the glitter Rileys that drew me in. They are gorgeous but yes the glitter is all over the place.
