We're seeing deals in spades! (Too easy, folks. Too easy.) (Kate Spade Outlet)(Kate Spade Outlet)
I'm a bag lady, and I’m not even a little ashamed. I wistfully browse the handbag section of every store, fully aware that I work from home and absolutely do not need dozens of purses. But that certainly doesn't stop me from enjoying the eye candy (arm candy?) and making the occasional impulse buy. After all, there's just something about purses — they can take an outfit from 0 to 60 mph almost entirely on their own, and you don't even need to try them on. "Does this purse make my butt look big?" said no one ever.
As a commerce editor, one of my main jobs is to surface deals that are actually deals, and Kate Spade Outlet is delivering in a big way. You'll get up to 70% off everything, plus another 20% off over 1,000 styles, during the Kate Spade Outlet Memorial Day sale (aka the Long Weekend Sale). For instance, this darling Dumpling Mini Satchel is over 70% off, while the perfectly practical (or make that practically perfect?) Lena Swingpack Large Crossbody is closer to 75% off. Like I said — we're talking deals with a capital "D."
So go forth and shop these Memorial Day sales with abandon, 'cause handbags are a lot like shoes: You can't have too many, especially when you're saving hundreds. And once you're really in the groove, check out the sales over at Coach Outlet plus our other top Memorial Day style deals, because who could blame you if you need to accessorize your new accessory?
The perfect tote, Kate? I'll be the judge of that, thank you very much. So let's see: Big enough to hold a laptop? Check. Polished, understated leather? Check. A handle I can comfortably sling over my shoulder? Check. Pockets galore? Check. A zipper to keep all my stuff from tumbling out? Check. (Why did I ever doubt you, Kate?)
"Holds my iPad, wallet, 40-ounce water bottle, lunch, plus all the other junk I need during the day," said an on-the-go mom. "For example, Hot Wheels, apple sauce pouches, a stuffy, light sabers ... Ya know, the essentials!"
If you're already up to your eyeballs in black bags, it also comes in a classic, seasonless tan.
This compact, cheerful pebbled leather bag makes me feel like a doting grandma. I wanna pinch its cheeks, coo over how adorable it is and give it a piece of butterscotch candy. Even better, it comes with a crossbody strap that'll keep you hands-free. Choose from this soothing gray, black and a pinkish-ivory.
"I have a large bifold wallet, lip glosses, hand sanitizer, a packet of tissues, pens, breath freshener and a comb all in the main pocket (I can also fit my phone in there)," said one helpful buyer. "Then the front little pocket has my keys and my AirPods. It is such a cute size."
I've always been a tote girl, but the older I get, the more I see the appeal of downsizing and going hands-free. (After all, you never know when you might need to fight off a bear or halt a speeding train, Superman-style.) This pebbled leather bag also looks to be the perfect size for the essentials, plus a few extras, and the soft blue is to die for, though it also comes in black.
"It is very well constructed. The zippers are some of the best I've seen in a bag; the adjustable strap is great and never looks worn in any way," said one handbag connoisseur. "I get compliments from family and friends, and even people when I'm shopping. I always recommend this bag 100%. I have even gifted one to my friend!"
I don't know who first thought up these little crossbodies, but my guess is that they've also spent many an afternoon pleading with a recalcitrant Siri to find their iPhone. (Plot twist: It was in your black hole of a purse the whole time.) This leather sidekick won't weigh you down during summer adventures, but it'll keep the musts — cash, cards, ID, chapstick and yes, phone — readily accessible.
"It feels like I'm carrying almost nothing," said a reviewer. "I plan to carry it when Ben, my Havanese dog, and I will be doing pet visitations with residents at a long-term care home and I want my hands free so I will be able to lift him up onto the beds or wheelchairs. I'm very happy with it."
If you're planning a winter getaway, you'll need a dependable weekend bag that will pack everything you need and look great during the trip. The Chelsea Nylon Weekender — $270 off right now! — is here to answer that call, with tons of space for your overnight necessities and plenty of ways to organize, thanks to multiple interior and exterior pockets and compartments. It comes with both a drop strap and sturdy handles, so you can carry it as you wish. This fan agreed: "It is the perfect size for a weekend getaway! It's durable, sturdy and easy to carry."
If you're like me, you prefer to keep your bags neutral to get the most mileage out of them. But wallets? All bets are off, my friend. The cheerful print on this faux leather looker is just the icing on the cake — it has 12 card slots, a zippered coin compartment, several zip pockets and plenty of other little clever stashes to keep you organized even when you feel anything but.
"I had another Continental Wallet and it lasted 10 years!" raved a longtime fan. "This one is so pretty and the compartments work so well for me."
True Kate Spade fans know this subtle logo print is almost as integral to the brand as its signature shade of kelly green. Made from faux leather, it's roomier than it looks and has a zippered closure and a slip pocket just right for your phone. Top handles and a crossbody strap give you options — and every girl needs options, right?
Maybe it's because the color is called "Lime Slushy," but there's something about this petite purse that feels downright edible. From the graceful rounded edges to that sumptuous gold hardware, all it needs is an "eat me" tag straight out of Alice in Wonderland. (Granted, the pebbled leather may demand a Pepto chaser.) Sling it over your shoulder or across your chest — either way, it'll turn heads. It also comes in a ton of other colors, including neutrals, two shades of blue and an equally delicious, sorbet-like pink.
"Nothing more I could've asked for in a purse," said a rave reviewer. "Although the bag isn't huge, it fits a decent amount of items without looking stretched out. The zipper glides like butter and the purse looks elegant, but I do enjoy it as an everyday purse!"
"We think backpacks are meant for more than just algebra class and the gym," says Kate Spade. And I can't agree more — especially when said backpacks are as darling as this one. Made from pebbled leather, it features a sporty striped strap that you can sling over your shoulder or wear crossbody style, and the polished hardware classes it up enough for life beyond grammar school.
"I love this bag. It's the perfect size for on-the-go type of days," said a frank fan. "I personally need a smaller wallet to fit inside it, because I'm currently using a wallet the size of the purse. Haha. I would have plenty more room if I changed that one thing." (Author's note: Same.)
I'm heading to Paris this summer, and something about this bag makes me think it might need to make the trip with me. Maybe it's the chic gold hardware; maybe it's that luxe quilted leather. Maybe I'm just looking for any excuse to buy it. (Honesty is the best policy, oui?) A snap closure, roomy interior zippered compartment and slip pockets make it as functional as it is fabulous. It also comes in black and ivory.
"The quality of the leather is like butter; it looks way more expensive when you are walking around wearing it," said a stylish shopper. "The details in the gold and the chain handles with the leather shoulder rest are a nice added touch. ... You can easily use this daily or dress it up and wear it for a night out. 10/10 get this one."
