Default Kale Tate

I just stumbled upon this brand. I did a search and it got good reviews. Can anyone tell me what the inside looks like? Could I fit in magazines and folders?

Thanks!

Judie-I own the Tate in green, and yes I bought the medium and it would hold them. The grande must really be large because mine is big! It's gorgeous though! If you want you can email Melinda@kalehandbags.com and tell her that Jan, the teacher, sent you (That's how she'd remember me!) and see if she can offer you any additional discount. She is great to work with.

Thanks JNH! I did email her.

Can you tell me more about the inside of the bag? Is there a zipper where I could hold my wallet? Any other pockets or compartments? Can you wear it over your shoulder?

Many thanks!

They have a Tate up on ShopBop. Hopefully that will be all the info you need.

If you are planning to buy the Tate new, you can get a 20% discount from KALE by entering lucky37. I think the offer is only good for about 3 more weeks.

Hi Judie, It has one inside zipper pocket in the medium Tate. It also has a cell pocket and another pocket next to that one. What color are you thinking of getting? Do not buy it as ShopBop-they are cheaper at the Kale website!

Hi- thanks guys. I was thinking of getting the green one. There's one on sale. I emailed Melinda to see if I could also apply the Lucky Discount to one that is on sale. Can't hurt to ask, right?

I took a negotiations class a while back, and the professor said "you should always ask for a better deal." He gave an example of one of his former students who was shopping with her mother at Neiman's. The mother found a shirt and actually asked the SA "can't you give me a better price?" The daughter was mortified. The SA, however, told them the shirt was going on sale in two days. So she took down the credit card information, didn't charge it for two days, and the mother got the cheaper price. So always ask!

Do you know if the Tate is made in a smaller version than the medium (12'' x 15'' x 5'')?

I love the colour of this bag, but it seems to be sold out everywhere - any suggestions?

Thanks!

Try emailing Melinda directly at Kale. She will reply and let you know if this is possible to send it to you there in Denmark.

Her email address is:
Melinda@kalehandbags.com
Tell her Jan sent you!

I have already e-mailed the store earlier today, but maybe I should try Melinda directly.

She is located in the LA area, and you may get a quicker response going directly through her.
