Another avid Kate Spade shopper added: “I have a KS tote. I bought it 3 years ago and use it frequently, it is not babied and it has zero scratches or markings! Would recommend! I bought a wallet/purse the same transaction and it is the same. I don’t know what the leather was coated with but it’s bulletproof!”
A third shared: “I have bought four Kate spade bags in the last year or so. all have held up and are great quality. I carry a lot of stuff in my bags too.”
That being said, for some people, the quality didn’t hold up quite as well with one person remarking: “To me, they feel like a thin piece of plasticky leather coating a stiff piece of cardboard but I’ve only ever had a tote from KS and it was from the outlet.”
