Hi! I'm new here and have been lurking this thread for a little while. I just recently purchased my first Kate Spade Wallet, a Cobble Hill Lacey in Dark Viola (from the Fall/Winter 2011 Collection).
I have a question - I'm looking at a couple of Kate Spade handbags and my friend is going to be in New York for a few days and has said that she's going to get me one if it's feasible (we live in Australia).
What's a reasonably sized 'everyday' KS handbag that is still just big enough to hold an iPad? I'm looking at either the Quinn or Darcy styles or perhaps Charlotte St "Miles" (I feel this may be a bit big though). What would your recommendations be? If it's available cheaper through other sources I would happily consider that also
Cheers for your help and looking forward to posting more!
Gorgeous wallet. Congrats!
As for a reasonably sized bag, I guess that depends on your what you prefer. Personally, I love the size and shape of the Miles, but it is definitely not a smaller bag!
The Kate Spade flagship store in the city should have great selection. If you're looking for good prices, sometimes the department stores, like Bloomingdales, will have particular items on sale, but new releases should be the same price as the boutique. Depends on how much time your friend has to hunt around. Also depends on if you have your heart set on one particular bag or if you are open to other options in order to get a better deal. Watch out for people on the street trying to sell you fakes!
Good luck! Let us know what your friend picks up for you.
