I've been meaning to post a photo of my amazing black Clarke for forever, but I'm ALWAYS using it so I haven't had the chance, :) Love this bag, so easy to use, and holds way more than I expected.

Taken with the flash--this purse is much prettier in real life (and when it's not laying half full on the floor). The leather is soooo soft. For those of you who don't know the Clarke (it doesn't seem to be that popular), it's like a smaller version of the little minka, :)

And my little Kate Spade family (from back to front: little minka, clarke, coin a phrase coin purse):

Great collection! I have picked up the clarke several times and checked it out. I love that style. It's on my wishlist. And I LOVE your little minka...that color is fantastic!!
 
Thank you! I am a little obsessed with the color of my little minka, :) If only because I wanted it so badly and it was too late to get one (but then someone returned one to nordstroms the day I happened to wander by!).

I wish the clarke were on sale places--probably when this season's colors get phased out, more people will snatch them up. I was lucky enough to get mine (NWT!) on ebay for about $80 off, which I figured was the best I was going to do on a recently released black bag. Still, it cost more than the little minka, which is absurd, since the little minka is practically the same back, but with the extra handle and 5x the size.
 
That is too cute. Where did you get that? On the main KS site?

It's from this years spring line, but I don't think it'll be on the website until April. I called the Broome Street NY store to ask about it's release and that's what the SA told me. She then asked if I wanted to be notified when it arrived at the store. Got a phone call last week that they had them and they let me purchase!
 
Boo, I would love to post a pic of my collection but I haven't been able to upload photos to this sitefor quite some time, no matter how small the file size. I bought some beauties recently.
 
New here!

My first Kate Spade comes with a small story, and a question! My parents went on vacation this week, and my mother wanted to bring me home something. I told her she didn't have to, but she felt badly because all I ever do is work and I haven't taken time of since 2009. She spent her whole vacation looking for something to bring me home and then remembered, when she was shopping, that I have been saying for, forever, I wanted a Kate Spade bag (I saw one, way back in the day that I loved, and kicked myself forever afterwards for not putting out the money and buying it).

When they got home today, my dad came around the corner with a paper bag from the store and said that he had gone in to the store because my mom had said I wanted a bag from there and asked for just the shopping bag and that they happily gave him one. I laughed and laughed, because, well my dad WOULD do something like that just to make me smile and I thanked him for my new paper shopping bag. Then he said 'But they said I could only have it if we bought a purse..." and handed me the dust bag with the purse!

Apparently my mom spent over an hour in the store trying to figure out the best one for me. I can't believe how much care she took in to picking one out, and I'm so happy she did.

Prior to tonight, I had no idea that there were things like MFF or FP but I've certainly learned all about them now! I have no idea if the purse she got me is MFF or FP, but I love that she took the care to buy it for me. So, without further ado a somewhat poor quality photo from my iPad:

So my question is, is it a MFF or a FP one that she got at the outlet? As far as my googling skills go it's called an Alexander Avenue Large Catalina (in black, obviously!). I tried to find a list of things that would let you know the difference between the two but so far have come up with nothing.
