How does the small work crossbody for you? I’m 5’2” so on the shorter side too! If you have any free time, I’d love to see some pictures of your bag since you’ve had it for awhile! Great to hear that it’s still in good condition. Could you also share a photo of the inside with your items too? Thanks in advance, lady!

It works great for nights out! I'm not really one who brings a lot with me so I don't really have problems with space. Unfortunately I'm across the country for school and I don't have my bag with me at the moment so I can't show you photos inside :sad: but message me and I'll send you a mod shot!

If you want a fuss free bag that you can use for any occasion and with both light and dark outfits I would recommend the black. It is worry free. Nude is stunning, maybe if you sell another bag in your collection or save up you can have both as they are both classic and gorgeous. :)

hi! I currently own the small Kate in black, and used to have the medium, but I sold it to buy the small. The small fits my iPhone XS Max with a big phone case on it, so I don’t think you should have an issue with your phone fitting. I agree that the proportions are more visually pleasing on the small. In terms of color, I agree it’s a fantastic nude color. I went with black because I worry about color transfer and don’t want to be limited in what I can wear the bag with, but honestly this type of leather seems like it’d be easy to wipe off if you were seeing any color transfer. Since you already own a dark colored YSL, I’d say go for the nude, but who am I to talk because I have mostly darker color bags! Let us know what you decide!

Hi! Along with the phone can you fit keys and card holder ? Maybe a gloss

Update! I had the Kate in GHW on my wishlist for awhile (decided on black medium size as small wouldn’t comfortably fit my phone) but was waiting for a department store to have a % or $ off sale before purchasing (vs the GC events). Back in February I saw a post here on the forum about Kate bags on sale at Saks Off 5th and ordered it that same day, unsure what kind of condition I’d be receiving (if it was a return or had a defect since it was coming from Off 5th, etc). As luck would have it the bag arrived in immaculate condition IN A YSL BOX which we all know isn’t a given unless you buy from the boutique directly, the chains were wrapped and there was a hardware protector on the front logo. The bag was completely untouched, brand new and not a single flaw or imperfection. To make things even better, the bag was 22% off retail and I got another 10% off on top for buying through the Saks app… with tax I paid $1,500 (vs $1,990 for what it retailed at the time and $2,190 for what it retails today). It was a great find and all the more reason I love this forum and purse loving friends!

I think so! If I didn’t have my Kate and was looking to buy I’d still purchase it at this price point. I think the price makes it “worth it” still.

Thanks! It's been forever in my wishlist (since many price increases ago!) and I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet.

I LOVE the black hardware (because of Inventing Anna!) but in this price point, it makes more sense to get the silver hardware (I'm not a GHW girl).
