I went to the Kate Spade outlet for Memorial Day and I've been hooked onto bags ever since! I got the Wellesley (mint color) and New Lane (coral) bags, which was a complete splurge at the time. After looking at the full prices for KS as well as more expensive bags, KS bags on sale are completely worth the price!
I've quickly moved onto other brands but Kate Spade started it all for me & there will definitely be more in the future!

I've acquired a few more since last posting. 
Cedar Street Perforated Small Harmony (crema de vie)
Cobble Hill Little Minka (deep pink)
Cedar Street Dot Francis Baby Bag
Twinkle Twinkle Emanuelle
The Harmony was the first bag I bought directly from KS; all my others have been second-hand buys at awesome prices. I'll be using the Francis as a travel bag -- it's the perfect size and the vinyl material makes me less hesitant than leather would. Finally found the Twinkle Twinkle Emanuelle at a price I could justify, on ThredUp of all places. And it's brand new!
Now, I'm definitely settling down. I've bought quite a few KS in just a few short months, so it's time to put away some money and enjoy the new beauties that I have.

Oooomphhhfff, it is too pretty!!! I couldnt own this bag, I would be wanting to run my fingers all over that textured leather. The black white contrast looks amazing! Have you gotten to take it out for a spin yet?

Thank you!
Not yet! Working on my outfit. I do have the perfect sandals!
I don't usually pack much in my purses. It fits my phone, small Kate spade wallet and toiletries/make-up pouch and would still have space for a few things like keys and sunglasses. I wear it with sun dresses for a going out on a summer picnic feel. It gets lots of compliments, but the best one so far for me was when a kid approached me while eating in a restaurant and asked if she could say hi to my elephant.
I like the wicker bags. But how functional is that. Can u show me how you pack it (if you dont mind). And where will u carry these

Wow!! Thats cute!! Yeah its definitely a good picnic bag.. I should try to get one..Thanks Gurl!!
I love Kate Spade! I currently have the Cedar Street Maise bag in black and I think it can definitely be dressed up or down. My favorite Kate Spade item however is my Glitterbug Stacy Wallet in pink. I love how glittery it is!!! It looks even better in person and I always get compliments on it

I completely agree with you OP, I discovered KS bags earlier this year and I love them! especially my black ceder street maise, it's perfect for me! also their price point is good for me.

My first was a Wellesley travel wallet which was fairly quickly followed by my first bag, a Cobble Hill Curtis.
And I've since added a few more to my collection:
Cobble Hill mini Minka in black
Cobble Hill small Stacy wallet in black
Cedar Street Stacy wallet in dark navy
Cobble Hill mini Carson in straw with black leather flap and trim
a fabric evening bag that I don't remember the name of as it was a gift in black
Henry Lane Lulu in black
and just today I bought a Highland Place travel Leslie in french navy. I got it online so I'm eagerly awaiting it's arrival.
I allow myself one big purchase if I've done particularly well and achieved certain marks each semester at uni. It's like a reward system and so dar it's been going pretty well

Ooh great thread, Prixton! I agree, I live in a small town in England so I have no one to chat about KS with, and I haven't seen anyone with a KS! Which is a good thing in a way, as I have a unique bag.. 
I discovered KS less than two years ago. I fell in love instantly! In my opinion KS bags are right up my street, in terms of practicality. I currently own a Ceder Street Maise in black, which is my absolute favourite! It is functional, yet it looks stylish. I also own the Darla purse, which is great to use when you only want to carry a little bit of money. I have just ordered another Maise in the Cliff Grey colour
No one has actually spoken to me about my maise, unfortunately
it's such a shame as I think it gorgeous! Sigh. Not everyone understand bags like we do! especially my mum, who absolutely hates my love of bags and the money I spend on them! Oh well, my money my choice!!

This resonates with me so much. I'm a ft student and also have worked pt/ft through university. The one thing I hate is being "judged" for owning designer goods - my obsession far exceeds handbags as I have an extensive watch collection and more pairs of sunglasses than I'd like to admit. Much like you, I treat myself when I've done exceptionally in school, have overcome a personal hurdle, or have received a promotion. One of the reasons I joined TPF was to share my passion with individuals who are able to see the excitement in my latest purchase instead of viewing it as "bragging" or "showing off" as well as showing my enthusiasm for the reveals which are posted. I also love the feedback, opinions, and advice - I have few friends who are into contemporary/premier designers.I've been buying for three years I think and I probably have more than a normal part time working, full time student would but I just love them so much.

As for the brand [Kate Spade], I discovered it a few years back, though I usually pass things along to friends/family once I lose interest so my collection is limited to approximately 10-12 pieces. I will be hitting up the outlets this week and will keep you ladies posted on my findings!
I just bought my first Kate Spade bag, wallet and wristlet! I got the Cobble Hill small Ella in clocktower/black, Cobble Hill Bee wristlet in cherry liqueur, and the Cedar Street Darla wallet in vivid snapdragon (a bright pink). I plan on wearing the bag for everyday stuff, I usually wear larger bags but I'm forcing myself to not lug around too much stuff these days since my shoulders are getting achey. That's why I got the wallet too, it's so tiny and cute and only holds the bare minimum. The wristlet is mostly for storing my passport and keys, although I can fit my phone, cardholder and lipgloss in it too so it's great for quick errands and going out. So happy with my purchase, I feel so fresh and organized!
