I think both are neutrals and would go with anything...so, it's up to you! The black would be more forgiving with seasons, dirt, etc., but I'd just buy both!!
This morning I saw the Bond Street Florence in the Neon Orange on the KS website go on sale for $ 224 from $ 448 and now I don't see it anymore.
Is it possible it sold out that quick?
I have the Essex Scout bag that i got from the private sale in May for less than half the original price! I agree that the brand seems to be more popular in Asia than in the US though they just have opened a store near me. I have no complaints about the smooth leather and the stitching is very good quality and durable!
I love Kate Spade and have two bags and one wallet. My sister has a whole closet of Kate Spade purses and wallets.
As much as I love the brand, I am really upset that they started making factory styles to accommodate shoppers with less budgets. The factory styles is ABSOLUTELY nothing near the original Kate Spade. Now I have moved onto Rebecca Minkoff
