kate spade new yorkHudson Pebbled Leather Belt Bag, Parchment

Nice size for a day out and nice looking too

Smaller than my needs, so I did not keep it but the leather is beautiful. It is small, think just keys and a phone, but its very nicely made. I like the thicker nylon strap on this one.

The Kate Spade New York Women's Hudson Pebbled Leather Belt Bag is made from split leather, not full-grain leather, which means it will not be a bag you'll be using for 25 years.The bag has better zippers and buckles. The oversized zipper pulls make their operation smooth, especially for me with arthritic fingers. There is a large drop pocket on the back, and the inside has a large zippered pocket. The inner faille lining will wear well. The adjustable belt is made from an undeclared material.With neck and shoulder issues, I can no longer wear purses that place weight on my neck or shoulders. I would not usually purchase an expensive belt bag, so having this Kate Spade bag is special.A medium-sized polyester drawstring bag is included to store this belt bag or other treasures. The sewing is sub-par, with puckering at the top. The side seams have incorrect thread tension, causing the fabric to tear at each stitch.Full Disclosure: I received this product for free from the Vine program.

Beautiful and stylish design, as is the case with this brand. This is a smaller fanny pack, so doesn't hold much beyond the essentials, but would be great for a concert or events if you want a higher end bag. Obviously the price point of 200+ seems crazy for a bag this small, but those who know and love the brand will say it's worth it. Great gift for Kate Spade lovers, as something a little different than the typical purse or satchel.

It’s small i can’t put my phone and my small card holder together

It is a pleasure to touch this bag. I bonded with it before I took it out.My regular bag is more of a satchel and is increasingly too much so I was looking for a smaller alternative. I took the plunge with this cross-body/bum bag.Although I measured, it was still smaller than anticipated. At first, I was disappointed because only my wallet and phone fit with no room for anything else.I decided to see what I use every time I go out and it turns out not a lot. It’s more a habit of carrying all that stuff.I took it out for its maiden voyage yesterday and love the comfort of hands-free but I realized I would need to revamp my basics. Magical like a Mary Poppins bag would be perfect.Transitioning to a smaller wallet was freeing. The outside back pocket holds my S24+. I found a way to secure the smaller wallet and keys to the bag so they can’t fall out.It is a jewel from a design standpoint. The workmanship is good, it is well-made with attention to detail. I enjoy the feel of it and appreciate its versatility. There is a warmth from real leather that can’t be duplicated. From the hardware to the lining, each area shows thoughtfulness.This bag is easily worth the price. It will serve for years. Also included is a silky drawstring bag to protect your Kate Spade bag when you are not using it.

My daughter loves Kate Spade products, and I’m sure she’s going to love receiving this bag for Christmas. It is well made and the leather has a great feel to it.

It's kinda crazy how brand recognition is with bags, my 8 year old niece noticed and complimented this Kate Spade bag I got for my daughter. It's definitely made well, and fresh out of the box the leather smell reminded me of getting a new baseball glove as a kid. I'm going to go out on a limb here, but if you're reading this review you probably already made up your mind about getting this ... But you wanted to double check and make sure there are known issues, well there are none so go ahead and get it.
