What a cute story! And your bag is GORGEOUS!!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.

Nice haul!! How are you liking the Miles? How much can you fit in that bag?
Thank you! I like the Miles a lot. The different compartments really help me keep my things organized. I use the middle zipper pocket for little things I don't want falling out of my bag like keys and earbuds. One side is for a small cosmetic case and sunglasses, and the other side has the wallet/coin purse, etc. My Kindle Keyboard fits nicely into it as well and I can still snap the bag closed with it.
The top handles were a bit stiff at first and one of them kept falling when I carried the bag on my shoulder... but I think that has gotten arguably better with more regular wear. The leather is holding up well, with hardly any scratches or marks visible. I don't really baby my bags, so that's always a good thing for me.
Hope my comments weren't too long! Are you thinking of buying one?
