I have a new found love of Kate Spade! I've purchased 2 in the last 2 months from the outlet. Got each for under $80. I used to buy D&B and Coach like crazy, but now I like to keep my collection under 10, and pieces that won't go out of style. I sold a bunch of my old ones on ebay, got quite a bit for them too!Originally Posted by Playedinloops /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I have a handbag problem, or more a kate spade problem. I try to buy them on clearance at nordstrom or lord and taylor or bloomingdales, or off of gilt.com when they show up there, but I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I have spent over $300 on a purse. The number of purses I have with dustbags that I never even carry is really sad. I should take them to a second hand shop, but I just find a lot of comfort in them. It's a bad habit.
That is the best thing about kate spade to me...they are always "classic" never go out of style bags. And I find them to be less...idk how to put htis nicely...gaudy??? than coach, because I feel like coach is always covered in Cs.Originally Posted by Lisa N /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I know, but I rarely see anyone carrying those, and when I worked at macy's those were never the ones that sold, which is why I feel like all of their bags are tacky.Originally Posted by internetchick /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I don't even get that. I have seen ladies at the outlet looking for only the logo bags. I can't wrap my mind around it lol.Originally Posted by Playedinloops /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I guess its a (perceived) status thing, at least that is the only thing I can understand...kind of like.."I'm carrying a coach bag so everyone should know it". It's weird to me too.Originally Posted by internetchick /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Lol, my husband uses a $400 Cartier wallet. He's had it for 4 years, but that's why he can't complain about me buying purses.Originally Posted by iPretty949 /img/forum/go_quote.gif
The most expensive I bought was $200 for hubby. Mine would be like $100 -- i am okay with it.
