If you give this felt and leather Kate Spade New York ‘Walker Park Tate’ Satchel as a Christmas gift this year, you won’t even have to wrap it – it already has a giant bow on it! It comes in this lovely red “geranium” color pictured, and also in charcoal. So, we just have two questions for you: why the heck would you buy this bag and then give it to someone else, and why in the heck would you buy this bag in charcoal? …

… left out in the cold without a good shoulder bag to cry on.  The perfectly timed release of the Kate Spade Walker Park Raleigh Crossbody Bag actually makes us glad to pull out our wool tights and don our knit caps.  This leather-trimmed felt bag is all about utilizing this season’s fabrics to our advantage.  The felt itself may make this bag feel like a breezy, casual walk in the park but the exquisite stitching and patent-leather strap upgrade this bag to total office party status.  …

I swear that I’m obsessed with approximately 90% of Kate Spade‘s spring/summer collection so far. I seem to recall saying something similar last year, which can only be good for Kate Spade and bad for me. Good thing I have some semblance of self control or I’d probably be dropping a cool $378 on the equally cool Wicker Park Sherri, an unusual rounded tote made from both rope and wicker. It’s trimmed with only a hint of leather, but its main …

For a relatively simple nylon bag, the Kate Spade Roseland Solid Large Nana is surprisingly appealing. That’s down to two details: the gorgeous color (called “Crushed Raspberry”) and the perfect silhouette. Cinched at the neck with an easy drawstring closure, it’s relaxed and effortlessly chic, yet not so casual that it wouldn’t look great with a more polished ensemble. I wouldn’t carry this to the office, since nylon …

… like me, though, and appreciate a hint of girlish charm to counter an edgy outfit, try the Kate Spade Rose Club Melisse. It’s all sweetness and light – although don’t mistake “light” for “small.” This sucker is actually on the large side and makes quite a bold statement with its dot-happy exterior. The glazed leather is a nice touch, too. Find it for $425 at Kate Spade.

I don’t think I’ll ever stop being obsessed with these literary-chic bags. Inspired by a passion for some of history’s most beloved classic novels, this Kate Spade Book Emanuelle Box Clutch is etched with Pride & Prejudice cover art (complete with the author’s name – absolutely necessary). It snaps open to reveal a sleek space large enough to hold eight cards and a few relatively flat items. Don’t try to overfill this, please; it would almost be disrespectful to the …

Another cute clutch from Kate Spade ? This is madness – and I mean that in a good way. Who in her right mind could resist the appeal of the Tiki Bar Cocktail Clutch? Topped with a signature gilded pineapple clasp, this sleek, glossy bag is etched with a fun print inspired by those sultry evenings spent sipping cocktails on some fabulous island. Oh, to live that kind of life every day of the year! With this in your …

Here’s a silhouette I’m absolutely loving this season. The Kate Spade Palm Groves Melinda is a fabulous interpretation of the label’s timeless satchel. It’s dipped in “gold” for a polished appearance, but that’s not all it has going for it. The metallic leather trim rests easily against the neutral cream backdrop, lending the entire piece a considerably glamorous look. It’s not that you’d grab this for a special occasion, exactly, but you …

One part cream, three parts purple, all parts delicious. The Kate Spade New York Melinda Satchel is a drool-worthy summer sensation, inticing us like a tasty scoop of ice cream. The lacquer-coated cotton is easy to clean, which is great considering how many places I’m going to be taking this bag. The whole thing zips up from side to side, keeping all my belongings tucked inside tight. Available for $278 from Nordstrom’s.

Is the Kate Spade design team having some sort of competition for the quirkiest purse possible? The Kate Spade Hold Court Quinn is probably their silliest bag to date. I’m not going to humor you with a laundry list of places you can carry this AstroTurf-inspired accessory, but I’m not going to knock it either. It’s a delightfully kitschy and memorable purse that puts a smile on your face, and in a …
