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!

Sure!

The first image is of all three, the wallet looks bigger than it is in the photo since it's at the front in the corner, but it's actually tiny! I really love the small Ella and I'm glad I got it in clocktower/black, I usually don't go for lighter coloured bags since I'm scared of them getting dirty, but since it's partially black, especially in places where bags usually get dirty (handle, edges) I feel like it'll work out.

Including a picture of all the stuff that fits in the Bee wristlet, it holds a lot for being so small! I have to carry my passport everywhere since it's my only form of identification until I get my green card, I just moved from Norway to the states and I don't have a driver's license. The passport won't fit in a normal sized wallet, so I decided a small wallet + a wristlet was the best solution. No way I'm going to carry a travel wallet around on a day-to-day basis! Also please excuse the ridiculous eagle/American flag key, my husband felt it was a fitting "welcome to the country" present! :p

The last picture shows how well the Darla wallet fits in the small front pocket of the small Ella, such a great little pocket for easy access!

EDIT: Hmm I can't figure out how to link a picture, I added the links through the image button when writing the message, but in the actual post they just show up as normal text, not even click-through links... How do you post pictures on this forum? :help:

I own more than my fair share of KS, I'll post a family pic later- but my current LOVE of my collection is the one below. I bought her NWT on eBay since I couldn't find her anywhere in Houston. I'm using the stock photo since no matter what I cannot get a picture with the crystals shining- but ugh. So pretty.

That's really cool and unique, I have never seen a clutch or wristlet like that before.
What is its true name?

This definitely seems like something I would carry everyday when I was younger, and today for special occasions. :P

When did you get it?

It's from the 2013 All A Glow collection- a collaboration with Swarovski crystals, my other big love. I can't find the name of the clutch, but I've seen it on Vaunte a few times if you want to search! It retailed at about $700 or so. I wear it all the time casually- might look a little weird, but whatever!

Your handbag collection sounds wonderful! I would love to see photos of them, especially Scout, Allen Street Neil & Jackson Vanston Tote. I don't recognize those by name-- but I can look them up. ;)

I started buying Kate Spade in mid-2014, so quite recently! So far I have bought:
Cobble Hill Little Minka in Affogato
Cobble Hill Small Leslie in Dark Geranium
Grove Court Small Sloan in Dark n Stormy (for my daughter)
Wellesley Neda wallet in Sultan Yellow (I think)
A black & white striped iPad Air Case

I understand your frustration with friends that don't appreciate your beautiful bags. I get that too. Well, you now have us to drool over your collection and appreciate them! :smile1:

Hi, is it okay if i can get the product code of your KS Cobble Hill-Little Minka? I bought a preowned bag on an online store and i am not sure if its authentic. But store says it is. I just want to compare. Pls. Thanks

I don't own one, but I've been to the store several times throughout the years and they seem equal to coach and MK to me. I have my eye on the Brightwater Rachelle. I haven't been to the store in years and it's abojt 45 minutes or longer from my house so I was looking online. I don't see it at the Kate Spade online store. It never crossed my mind that some people might be selling fakes. I thought they only did that on the big designer items. I'm sure glad to join this forum! Now, if I can only figure out how to tell if it's fake. I wonder if the outlet store would have it if it was discontinued? It's the black and white one. I do think their purses are a professional with a pop of fun.

I think Brightwater is an outlet line of hers, so it wouldn't be on the retail website (but might pop up as part of surprise sales). You could call your local outlet to ask if they still have it in stock, but unfortunately I don't think they make shipments from the outlet stores anymore.

Hi,

Wow you have been on quite a spree! I'm enjoying looking at some of the newer range.

I've just done my first KS reveal today! It's the Wellesley Natalie (outlet bag now discontinued)

I passed it up about 2 years ago and regretted it, recently decided I needed something similar and was looking at MK when I decided to check eBay and there my Natalie was 😍

It arrived today and was just as I remembered so really happy :)
