I'm planning a trip up to Santa Barbara, and I'm passing a Kate Spade outlet.

Anyone know if they're going to do anything special this weekend? Or what's in store? Looking for some cute accessories for a Christmas gift. :)

Thanks in advance!
 
I would just call the outlet and ask -- they can tell you what sales they have going on, and what their inventory is, which is always helpful to know ahead of time.

Also, you can check the Kate Spade facebook page -- sometimes they will announce outlet sales on there as well.
 
Newly posted on KS Facebook page:

Nevermind -- I went today. Wasn't terribly impressed with the selection, but everything was (is still) 50% off, which is good if you find something you like.

I have to agree. I also wanted an opinion on something. I saw some wallets (neutral colour goose, navy, bright yellow). A lady was asking which she should pick (navy or yellow) and her friend answered "well are you going for classy or tacky?".
I thought a pop of colour is okay but is a yellow wallet tacky regardless?
 
I bought this bag over Black Friday: the Kate Spade Mott Street Fisher satchel in Celedon yellow. A very bright fabulous color. It was 50% off + an additional 10% AAA discount so I paid $125 with tax. The outlet still has everything 50% off! Love it!

Would any one be able to tell me whether Kate spade outlets carry mff items? Or if all items are from fp stores? Thanks!

For handbags/wallets, there are certain lines/styles that are "MFF" -- the easiest way to tell is to look at the price tag. If it just says "Our Price - $XXXX" it is a FP item. A MFF item will say something like "Like Item: --- $XXXX" and then underneath it will say "Our Price --- $ XXXX". Basically, MFF will have two prices listed and FP will only have one.

Having said that, I LOVE the Wellesley line, which is a MFF line. So don't think that just because it is MFF, it is not as good.

For jewelry, there are MFF items that look like their FP counterpart but are missing some feature. The most recent example I can think of is the new slim bangle bracelet -- the FP version can be found at Nordstrom: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kate-sp...extualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=0 The MFF version has the spade on the bracelet, but it's not a hinge. So basically, the MFF version is a regular bangle, while the FP version has the hinge that latches so the bangle opens and closes.

Hope that helps!

Yes, thanks so much for your response! I love visiting the KS outlets and i also LOVE the Wellesley line =) I actually find that there are so many more styles in the outlets than there are in the shops, where I'm from, that carry KS that it doesn't matter if I buy MFF or FP because the likelihood of someone having the same thing is slim.. but that said, I'm going to try to score a FP for a fantastic price when at the outlets in December. Thanks again!
