Hudson street Carla.

One of the best and most durable bags I own. She's almost 5 years old and in my opinion an unexpected workhorse. I own Dooney and Bourke, Michael Kors, Coach, and Louis Vuitton. I have to say that it is amazing to have a 5 yo leather bag that shows no sign of wear and tear.

A bit bigger than I expected. I can fit my Samsung Galaxy Note phone in here, but unfortunately it cannot fit my keys. :( My car uses a thick remote key, but the clutch cannot fit the key inside without popping open. So carrying this bag is difficult when you're wearing something that doesn't have any pockets. I still love it to death though, it's a great conversation piece and just so fun to carry. I just wish KS strengthened the lock somehow to keep this bag from popping open so much.

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.

You are so blessed with such funny and sweet parents! :smile1:
 
A pretty penny :) The oyster was my first, I attached a crossbody strap to it and it's wonderful. Will do the same to the adriatic too!! Love the size of this bag, the feel of the leather. I also had a penny is Palamino but the pebbled leather texture is different from these two, weird...Palamino has bigger "pebbling" and is not as soft for some reason - so back it went.
