Top Kate Spade Handbags, Bags and Purses

By , About.com Guide

Kate Spade handbags have come a long way from the first collection of nylon handbags. A variety of colors, textures, and shapes are now available, and I've included a bit of everything in my top picks below.

And if you really want to deck yourself out in Kate Spade, don't forget to check out my Top Picks in Kate Spade Shoes when you're done here.

1. Kate Spade "Union Square Flat Serena" Shoulder Bags

A simple, casual bag that's loaded with style, this nylon bag is classic enough that it will see you through many seasons and trends. You couldn't go wrong with aqua blue, but I have to admit that I'm totally in love with the way the gold accents play off the dark coral version of this fun bag.

2. Kate Spade Handbags - "Park Slope Clementine" Tote

When you need a tote that's chic and simple, but still packs a punch, the "Park Slope Clementine" will do the trick. It's boxy, it's leather, and it's fun in fuchsia, or oh so fresh in kelly green.

3. Kate Spade Handbags - Stylish "Easton Susana"

In a word, this bag is gorgeous, but if I could use more than one word, I'd simply quote the colors of the bag: "coffee creme with clotted creme accents." Made from tumbled leather, this beauty has a 10.75" drop shoulder strap and style to spare.

4. Kate Spade Handbags - Centro Small "Jessie" Totes

Cool and unique, these Kate Spade leather bags feature tote styling and punch detailing which give them a hint of a retro vibe. Available in black, brown or orange, these fun bags feature dual handles and flat bottoms.
