Size, capacity and what fits inside on Kate Spade bags and handbags
Kate Spade bags are sold in leather, in coated fabric and in a lightweight nylon, and the spade logo has been rendered several ways over the years. The logo style dates a bag more reliably than its shape.
- Leather crossbodies and totes are what turns over here, pinned to model name and colour
- Nylon and printed pieces are lighter and cheaper and move best when the print is named
What to check before you buy
Photograph the logo and the interior label together, since the logo treatment is what places the bag in an era, and check the corners of coated fabric bags where the finish lifts.
For the checks that apply to any used bags and handbags regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used bags and handbags.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $733 Kate Spade bag, a marketplace charging 20% takes $147, one charging 13.6% takes $100 and one charging 10% takes $73. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $733.
Listing your Kate Spade bags and handbags
- Photograph the interior brand stamp and any serial or date code alongside the exterior. It is what a careful buyer asks for and offering it unprompted builds trust
- Include the dust bag and any spare strap and say so in the title. They are worth more than sellers expect because they are not separately available
