kate spade new york Cobble Hill Small Leslie Convertible Satchel Handbag

This is a beautiful, classic bag that matches with any work outfit, but is also edgy enough to wear with casual ones! I am a petite girl so I was worried that the size may overwhelm me, but it turned out to be a perfect medium size. It has a classic/dressier look when carried by the handles, but I especially love how it comes with detachable shoulder straps for cross-body looks! I also love the flap closure, so I know that things won't fall out of my bag (since I forget to close the zipper a lot). There is a front pocket that is great for storing things you want in reach (lipstick, phone, etc.) so you won't need to reach in the bag and fish for things you need.Some minor flaws:I was a bit disappointed that the shoulder strap was too long for my short figure, but nothing that couldn't be solved with a leather hole puncher. The bag is also a bit weighty on its own, so if you fill the bag with items it can be a bit heavy to carry. That being said, the bag is very spacious and can fit a lot of things!Overall, I am very satisfied with this bag and it is a very affordable option for those who want a well-made bag for multiple uses. The leather is soft, and I have used this everyday for months without seeing any damage on the bag. I am 22, but I can see someone who is older look great in this bag as well!

My first Kate Spade. Love, love the leather and size of bag. A little disappointed with zipper. Gets stuck one way so instead of using both pulls to meet on middle, I just pull them to one side. A little disappointing for this kind of money. But too excited to send back to try another zipper :)

Not an expected size! I thought it is bigger! It looks bigger in size in the post unfortunately! But may be it is too late:(

I usually don't care for Kate Spade because of the sharp lines of design. However, this is classy and casual. I get compliments everywhere I go. The leather is nice quality and liner adds some spunk. It was worth the price.A year later...the gold lettering is almost worn off. boo:(

This is a gorgeous, functional bag. I've been researching awhile for the perfect medium size bag and I've found it! I have it in cream and it truly is a cream which makes it easier to wear than white. Obviously you have to be more careful with a lighter coloured bag but it looks so crisp and sharp against the darker colours (grey, navy, purple, black, brown) in my wardrobe. The pebbled leather is soft and smooshy. The gold embossed logo is a classy touch with a puffy gold spade above it. The inside lining is a nice striped fabric and there is one zipper pocket and two slip pockets inside. I also really appreciate the large open pocket under the flap on the outside for slipping in my iPhone or other quick-access items. There was a lot of though put into this bag.The size is perfect. In it, I can bit a large pouch with my baby's essentials (3 diapers, wipes, bib), a small makeup bag, my large Coach wallet, tissues, my keys and my iPhone, with some room to spare for one or two more things.I originally thought I wanted the Miu Miu bow but kept reading about quality issues which is crazy for a 1000+ bag!! The bow is also trendy which will look dated in a couple of years, whereas the Kate Spade Leslie is timeless. It looks way more expensive than it is. It has a nice balance of being structured and slouchy. It's very comfortable worn as a crossbody and also cute when it's held by the hand or in the crook of the arm. It's the perfect everyday bag.

Beautiful design, luxurious leather. Purse was a bit small for me as I like to have a little more room. It felt like although all the stuff I carry fit there was no extra room for anything else.

Nice pocketbook BUT the heavy Zipper required three hands to open it. Otherwise very nice quality. Am still deciding if I want to reorder however.

The purse was well made, although there were a few issues that I didn't like. The top flap didn't stay down too well. The magnet didn't have enough strong enough attraction to hold the top flap. I find the zipper a bit hard to unzip, which made opening the purse a bit cumbersome. The opening of the purse was a bit tight also that made finding things quickly not as easy.
