Calling to mind images of Laura Ashley dresses and picnics in romantic fields, the Kate Spade Miramar Alison has a sort of country-ish sensibility about it. Despite the fact that it also somehow resembles a lunchbox, it projects charm with its kelly green hue, straw-like exterior and printed cotton interior. Very feminine and dainty, it’s not exactly practical, but it has a summery quality that might make it the perfect accessory to pair with - what else? - your long, ...

Much as I enjoy seeing what Kate Spade will come up with next, I feel more and more disillusioned lately by the brand’s latest offerings. Up next is the rather pompous-sounding Melrose Noel Jaydn (Jaydn?! What’s the story there?), inspired by the glamour of Melrose Ave. - that includes in-your-face paparazzo and bratty celebutantes, naturally. Available in silver, orange and pink, this purse’s cheap look isn’t helped by its boarskin-embossed silver trim. Factor in that it doesn’t have a zipper ...
A beautiful finish makes this Kate Spade purse stand out for miles. The Orchard Street Rae is named for the famed Manhattan street, and its personality is just as impressive as its namesake’s. The patent black leather alone would make this a standout (albeit not very original) purse, but it’s the oil slick finish that really raises it to a new level. The effect is cool, especially if you’re a patent handbag lover and need something different to shake things ...
Bollywood is glitz, glamour and plenty of color. It’s bright lights and loud music. It’s not this Kate Spade Bollywood Stevie purse. Like most of Spade’s other creations, this bag is inspired by something distinctive, exotic and beautiful - but the end result here doesn’t remotely reflect Bollywood’s eclecticism. It’s a clear purse with colored leather trim and a yellow pocket. It hardly looks like something inspired by India’s wondrous film industry…more like Ocean City. I’m deeply unimpressed. Available ...
This interesting Kate Spade Katy Katherine Paola clutch isn’t going to wow anyone with its incredible beauty, but it’s a great choice if you’re a fan of daytime clutches. Roomy enough to hold just the sort of essentials you would carry in a slim clutch, this purse is low-key in a shade of navy trimmed with gold. The petal-like embellishments on the front are a cute touch, and the strap makes it easy to keep within your grasp. It’s ...
Like the annoying guy who claims to know someone who knows someone who once met Madonna, there’s a certain faux pas involved with name dropping. The same could be conceivably be said for this loud Kate Spade License Plate Canvas Shopper, which holds nothing back in its braggart design. There’s no way even your neighbor down the street could miss Ms. Spade’s name blaring on a kelly green background, and there’s something so boring about a canvas logo bag. That’s ...
Chic and casual go hand in hand on Pop Clinton Street Small Carla, a mouthful of a bag from Kate Spade. This little dynamo is vibrant in snazzy red nylon and hit with a touch of metallic silver leather trim for an unexpected touch of gleam. This handbag’s shape is slightly reminiscent of Gucci’s Indy bag, but it’s much more down-to-earth and playful than that style. I adore the black and white polka dot lining and uber-functional interior. The ...
This must be what they mean about love at first sight. This unexpectedly appealing purse comes to us from none other than Kate Spade, a designer whose work I admire but don’t necessarily covet. All that changes, though, with the lovely Andalucia Mini Plie. It’s petite and ladylike, but it still has a relatively hardy look about it due to the rich, ribbon-braided handle. At $345 and available in both red and silver, it’s a beautiful choice for the ...
I don’t know about you ladies, but I am not feeling this Kate Spade Monserrat Mini Anne. Doesn’t this Caribbean-inspired purse look like something your grandma might create given a little time, some fabric, and a glue gun? The hobo - made of shimmering tumbled metallic nappa leather, available in platinum or the sickeningly-sweet violet - features a nice drawstring closure but suffers from the addition of velvet ribbon trim. It’s too frilly and quaint.

Whether or not your winter plans call for a few runs down the slopes, you can dress the part with this fun new Kate Spade purse. Showing off the puffy parka-ness of a cute jacket, the Snow Mass Griffen was indeed made just for the coldest time of the year, when breaking out unflatteringly billowy clothes is the norm (for some, at least). Puffy doesn’t have to mean unattractive, though - the Snow Mass Griffen is just simple and chic, ...
Though my interest in bow-adorned accessories has pretty much laid dormant since around 1984, I’ve had a change of heart recently. The childlike detail is looking awfully grown-up lately, especially on handbags like the Tuxedo Park Bow Becca by Kate Spade. Not only is it awash in the color-of-the-moment (a none-too-exciting, yet still somewhat chic at times, gray), it pairs suede and sequins together masterfully and finishes things off with a floppy bow. I wouldn’t exactly carry this purse ...
Inspired by some of the most beautiful and vibrant regions of the world, Kate Spade’s Jocelyn bags are in a league of their own. Add the new Martin Lane version to the growing list of sublimely pretty, functional bags with a unique twist. Its moniker comes from the street in Los Angeles, where a shimmering glaze of lights reflects the city’s grid at night. That means just one thing for this bag: An equally starlit glow radiates for miles, ...
An elegant, if slightly unusual, construction of patent-finished wood and eelskin is the highlight of the Kate Spade Varenne Jocelyn Purse. This feminine clutch is refined and ladylike, but the unexpected material and sharp shine give it an updated look. The round wooden handle is a great touch: It contrasts perfectly with the patent gleam and ensures that the handbag is wearable day and night. Available in red and gray for $595 at Kate Spade.

Suede looks positively down-to-earth on this new and totally functional Kate Spade tote. The Prescott Small Anabel is stunning in its effortless beauty - the rich material is soft and luxurious, while the gold metallic trim jazzes it up a bit. It’s mainly low-key, even with a selection of bold colors, including seafoam green and orange. A more work-appropriate brown version also exists. This purse is perfect for brightening up an outfit or a downer of a day. Just ...
