I don't have a black bag at the moment, which is why I originally planned on getting it in black. But then I saw Clock Tower and it's so pretty! I have a cream Bally bag (but it's a completely different type of bag), a pale green bag and a hot pink bag at the moment.
I mainly wear black, navy, white/cream dresses and some brighter colours and florals in summer/spring.
My mum says black, my sister says Clock Tower haha! Ideally I would get both, but it's $414 in Australia
I think if you don't have a black bag yet (I didn't for a while either, but got a black bag recently elsewhere, different brand), then you should get a black bag!

But you want to be in love with your purse too. Cream is definitely prettier to me to match with all your cute dresses and matches dark or light clothes (but careful with color transfer, I hear it is easy to stain). For cream, it is hard to just throw your bag on the floor, etc, so have to be more careful! I personally like the cream better, because it gives a sweeter vibe. The black bag can be for work etc or everyday too, but cream gives a softer, sweeter look. (If that is the look you are going for!) Don't worry, more black bags can be in your future!
Mom's will choose the darker color because it is a safer one. Go with your heart! Bags are expensive, but what I always try to tell myself is that which one will I use more. The color /bag you use more will be worth the investment!
Definitely just get whatever colour you love! I live in Australia too and the pricing sucksI don't have a black bag at the moment, which is why I originally planned on getting it in black.

When I got my bag (cliff grey) I was surprised that it seemed like a really hardy bag for an expensive bag - one of the main reasons I didn't want to get clocktower was that I was worried it would get dirty but the leather is just lovely and I don't think it would be a problem at all in that colour (although personally I didn't want to worry about my expensive everyday bag and putting it on the ground etc so decided against lighter colours! Even if it is irrational haha)

I'm in Australia too. The prices here do suck. There's no update here so I thought I'd ask what color did u end up choosing. I recently bought mine from Bloomigndales in sweetheart pink, for $276 AUD. I also want to know how this bag holds up as I have seen a lot of complaints of ks bags, the threads coming loose etc. the first thing I have noticed is that the saffiano leather is much much more thin and flimsier than the one on MK bags. I don't know if this necessarily means less in quality.
would like to hear from those who have had this style for a while and have used it a lot.
Thankyou, my sister asked me why I am not tired of that color yet. Haha. More than half my bags are almost this color.
I ended up getting the black and I love it! It looks so classy and goes with everything
I've found the quality to be great so far, nothing coming loose or anything yet.Love the pink! I have a bag that's the same colour and get SO many comments on it.

Thankyou. Black definitely is classy. One can get tired of colors like pink, but not the black. I only have two black bags at the moment. I am pretty sure I will get tired of my pinks someday haha. B my medium Selma messenger in fuchsia get a lot of compliments, and then most of my outfits are neutral, so I like a pop of color. You have just helped me make my decision to keep it instead of selling it. I was worried about the quality.
I have a cedar maise bag in baby blue (my spring bag) and have had it for almost 2 years now and think the quality is great. It is scratch resistant and hold it's shape well (but I still stuff it when its not in use) and is still in great shape. But I don't use it year round. I have too many bags and so this bag only gets used 2-3 months at a time.
When I debated between the clocktower (cream, beautiful in person) vs the Cliff grey, I ended up getting cliff grey and love it. I got a lot of compliments on it. I heard it is one of Kate Spade's best sellers! However, if I don't stuff the bag with paper or socks or scarfs to keep the shape when storing it in the closet, the saffiano leather is like cardboard and made a dent. I had to reshape it by stuffing the bag!
I almost just bought one in hazy floral! But I don't have any Maisies yet so I figure I want something more versatile (I got the harmony cross body in the print instead). That said, the hazy floral colors complement my winter coats so the print should actually not be too crazy in my wardrobe.
Nothing to share but I'm a Kate Spade newbie on the hunt for my first bag and I think it will be a Masie. Major department stores are a couple hours away so I'm going to stalk them online and hope to touch/feel one when I head to the Big City next weekend.
Thank you all for sharing your pics!

Be careful. Once you get one, you'll be hooked. Not just to the Maise collection, but to Kate Spade! ��Nothing to share but I'm a Kate Spade newbie on the hunt for my first bag and I think it will be a Masie.

Don't forget that KS has an online sale going on now, too. Extra 25% on sale, and there are some Maise bags selling for as low as $160 with the sale. It's until EOD tomorrow though. Just in case you can't wait till the weekend.
