Kate Spade The beau bag

[gabardinesuit]

I love this bag. I would want it in the sonia purple if I ever got it. Decisions, decisions.

I have been lusting over this bag since I saw it in the window. to die for!

 

[carolinamaria]

I want it the tan and black color!

I really want the leopard one too but I can't bring myself to pay $1K for it.

I've obsessed for about a month and a half on this bag. I wanted the red/pink but now I'm obsessed with the black/macchiato combo. OBSESSED!

Absolutely love the Beau bag! It's just a little too expensive for me though :/ It would make a great work bag due to its size, but I'm not sure how professional the giant girly bow is! Guess it depends on your workplace.

Also have you guys noticed that they gave this bag free to SO many fashion bloggers during NYFW? I don't know why, but for some reason that kinda bugged me. Seems like KS is really trying hard to promote this one style and make it an "it" bag. And I've never liked buying "it" bags (except for my LV speedy), just kinda takes the fun out of it. I feel like when all these street style bloggers have the same bag it just gets old really quickly!

I posted in the promotions thread. Beau bags are 30% off on amazon.com. They include leather version (org $498) and the leopard version (org $998)

Yes I noticed this a lot of IG!!!! I think me and my friend are the only non bloggers I have seen in person and online with this bag! Wow thought I was the only one who noticed this lol

I noticed the bloggers too.

For a new bag that Kate Spade is trying hard to make an "it" bag, why is it that the only reviews on line are the freebies Bloggers got, and hardly any postings on it. Is it the price or the bag that everyone is avoiding on this one?

I'll be honest, the bag is pretty pricey and was one of my first KS bags and I was actually the 1st person at my store to ever buy the bag. A few weeks after I purchased it I asked the SA if the bag had been selling great and she said yes, however I have never ever seen anyone else beside myself wearing a Beau bag. I did a review of the bag on Nordstrom but deleted it. There are no "everyday" woman type reviews on the bag and I have only seen 3 ladies on TPF that have the bag.I ended up selling the bag last week on Poshmark because I purchased a Celine, but in all it was a great bag and very functional but just wanted to upgrade

same here! I haven't seen anyone yet, that has the same purse as mine (even in a diff color, none!). I have been using my beau bag for a 2 weekends now and I have always gotten compliments on it. Even at the Coach Store, the SA asked me "is that the Kate Spade bag?".. "it's so pretty. I want one, but I will have to save up for it. Maybe I can get it this coming Christmas." Same with another place where I went to. The lady said the same thing. It is on the pricey side that hinders this people from purchasing it. I would've not purchased this myself, if my hubby didn't insist because it was his anniv present to me. He bought it during the F&F and of course, this beau bag wasn't included in the F&F!

I also thought that if you purchase a beau bag, you will get a complimentary beau bag usb like those I see on instagram. Unfortunately, it wasn't the case. These bloggers get free purses and free items?! not fair! whereas we spend so much $ for a KS purse (which is almost the same price as an LV mono speedy (depending on the size)), we only get a Thank You card in the mail. lol

This is good to know! I thought I was the only one not able to find anything on it....usually when a new bag comes out there is buzz everywhere. I actually was lucky enough to get 25% off with a survey reward, so I ordered the large and the small and now dont know which to keep, if any! the small is adorable but I do love a big bag- but not the kind of bag you just cant bring EVERYWHERE! hmm, dont know what to do.
