So, let me start from the beginning. I am a full time lawyer, mommy, wife, which means pretty much I'm all things to all people. I'm constantly busy, 10 minutes late and in a rush. I have to carry with me everything I need for 12 hours. With a toddler, I'm finding I carry too many bags. A diaper bag, my work tote, my purse, whatever else I had to run in and pick up at the grocery store or the pharmacy.
So I have been on a quest for a good looking, larger tote style bag with some interior pockets and a optional cross body strap- because sometimes I just don't have a free arm.
But finding one I like, that is well made and cute is HARD!
I am not much for pattern and I do love designer bags, I'm a old fashion leather Coach girl. Last summer I 'broke' and modernized with a bowling bag style cross body satchel in grey leather from Michael Kors. And don't get me wrong its GREAT bag (a good addition to my gorgeous black coach satchel for winter and my painted leather beige purse for summer also Coach because I am who I am) but it sometimes is overflowing.
Point is I'm not really trendy usually when it comes to bags and I don't want a bunch clogging up my closet because I just don't need them. I just want well made, classic bags that I can use day in and day out without worry of broken handles and outdated patterns.
So why suddenly Kate Spade New York? Its easy: feminine design with scalloping or a small bow, and the STRIPES. I love her stripes!

*Kate Spade New York Hawthorne Lane Small Ryan Tote - I LOVE this one but it doesn't have a long handle option. WHY KATE WHY?
*Kate Spade New York Catie Striped Bag
*Kate Spade New York Crossbody - Fairmount Square Monday - Black/Sandy Beach
Its pattern but when will stripes go out of style? I cant foresee it happening. But finding exactly what I want is near impossible, even if I go to other brands, that I can actually afford, so sorry Louis Vuitton, you're out.
But im having trouble finding one that is everything I wanted.
*This "cobble hill stripe adrien" is close and cute but its cotton and leather, how do you clean that when you accidently drop your coffee when your toddler starts a temper tantrum while holder her and everything else?
*This "cameron street stripe candace satchel " comes close but, I don't know if I like the firm square shape. It might be the closest I'm going to get though.
I have to wonder if other full time "all things to all people in all places at all times" have the same dilemmas I have?
