Yes I should have shown the picture that the pink one DOES come with a strap as well!I love a crossbody but I don't like that one. I'm going with the satchel, it's cuter. Does it come with a long strap? Whether it's practical totally depends on your lifestyle. I chase my kids around so cross body strap is a must for me.
Ha - yes. I had no idea this bag existed for some reason until today (and I'm a diehard KP fan!). And yes, it DOES come with a strap as well (the pink Mikayla).I would say the Pink Mikayla for these 4 reasons:
But I also agree that it depends on what works for your lifestyle and what makes you happier to have in your bag collection.
- You're more likely to pair Pink with other colors than Purple.
- The bag is more versatile. You can use it as a hand carry bag and as a crossbody shoulder bag.
- It looks like it's bigger so you can carry more.
- You can wear it when you want to dress up and when you want to dress down.
Also, thanks for this thread because now I'm thinking about buying this bag. lol

Which do you think is cuter and more practical?

I emailed customer service to confirm which is correct. I hope it does have feet. I didn't even notice that discrepancy!You know what's weird, on katespade.com, you can't see any feet on the bag but in the pic you posted and at nordstrom.com, you can.
Which leads me to say, since the makayla bag seems to have feet, you can feel more comfortable setting it down somewhere and know that the bottom will be a little more protected.
Does anyone even know what pink granite looks like in person? One site it looks like this gorgeous cement nude pink and another site it looks like pepto bismol.I love the satchel!
Me again. Customer service wasn't very helpful....You know what's weird, on katespade.com, you can't see any feet on the bag but in the pic you posted and at nordstrom.com, you can.

Lol, that cracks me up but I'm glad I asked. It could still be ok (at least for me since i try to never put my bags on the floor). I guess you could get a purse hanger if your concerned about the bottom of the bag.Me again. Customer service wasn't very helpful....

I wrote them back and asked why Nordstroms says it has feet AND it shows a photo with feet but now that I'm back on Nordstroms, it doesn't show feet. Damn feet. We need feet! Who wants to put down a pink bag without feet? I love feet... Guys, I think we were duped with the photo of feet. Upon further research to 'upscale' sites such as 'House of Fraser', etc., there are no feet on the Makayla so any of you that thought it was good with feet, we are now officially footless. Don't know if it affects anyone's decision but I'm a little bummed. I don't want to buy it in black - I have a black Hayden and a black Jensen and wasn't really opting for another black KS bag. Poo.
Well I'm as tenacious as a crab - I went BACK onto the Nordstrom site and their black version has feet! I sent them photos of bloggers that are wearing the pink one with feet and sent them the Nordstroms black one with feet and basically said 'WTF'...(in a nice way). I'll get to the bottom of this yet. Pardon the pun.Lol, that cracks me up but I'm glad I asked. It could still be ok (at least for me since i try to never put my bags on the floor). I guess you could get a purse hanger if your concerned about the bottom of the bag.
