anthrosphere I did receive a gift card and I used it to buy the Charles Street Brantley in Starry Blue. I have had two issues with kate spade products and the customer service I got was awesome.

I still have a soft spot for Kate Spade but I really miss the days when Kate was actually a part of the company and designing the bags herself. They were like works of art and unique without trying so hard. I feel like after the takeover, the kitschy aspect of the bags has gotten out of control...the quirkiness used to be subtle and clever, and now it's like theme night every month.
That said, I love the bracelets and once in awhile I find something really gorgeous, usually a pouch or wallet that gets me.

I honestly bought the little minka on a whim and ended up with 2 of them and love them both. Not worth selling and soo versatile and cute. No regrets.
Kate spade has more colors compared to other bags. And I really love how the bags dont seem trying too hard to be stylish.
I bought two Kate Spade bags around xmas time. One is a beige/grey color leather boston shaped bag and the other is a hot pink leather tote. Both have held their shape, although I feel the shape of the beige is sturdier. I will start stuffing my pink tote when not in use to try and keep it stiff.
Final Sale Items cannot be returned but I believe warranty is still valid for 1 year like everything else
Thank you. I'm not happy with the Maise but I guess I'm stuck with it. How do I post pics?
I agree absolutely, random_person - these are my thoughts exactly! I'm lucky in that I have a lovely collection of KS from c.2006 or earlier but I stopped buying in about 2008. I still like the classic styles, such as the Pimlico, Carker etc but can't really "do" the more quirky styles. Sadly, a lot of my early girlies are going to have to go, as I have a big Mulberry collection and the KS are sitting un-used in their dustbags ...
Kate Spade was my first Contemporary Bag Designer purchase. Before that it was stuff from ASOS, Forever21, Zara, etc. I found the customer service to be impeccable, the bags to be long lasting and very good at reselling. I used a Kate Spade crossover when I traveled through Thailand for my Honeymoon, and it was heaven sent. I shop a lot of the Surprise Sales, and I always get great items to give for gifts.
The fabric on one of my bags' linings ripped and now I'm a bit worried for the lining on the rest of mine.

Kate Spade was my 1st designer purse (well I did have a Dooney Bourke purse when I was a kid, my mom bought it for me) purchase. I really love the cedar street maise bag, which I have in the light blue color. I also purchased a purse from their special Saturday sale on line once and found out later that it was a bag that is from their outlet, but feel the quality is still pretty good.
I still use my Kate Spade in my purse rotation, but I just recently purchased 2 Gucci bags (because of that darn 50% off sale) and I do like some of the coach bags (not a fan of the canvas bags with the "C" trademark design). Kate Spade has bright colors and love her style and do like to browse the store whenever I see one.
And I have had positive service in the store, especially with this one particular sales associate at the location in Glendale, Ca. She is so friendly and helpful and quite personable.
Haven't had a negative experience and hope not to in the future.
