Kate Spade Outlet’s Early Black Friday Sale Has Bags Up to 78% Off

Back in high school during the late ‘90s, nearly every teenage girl was crushing hard for a Kate Spade mini satin backpack. I’m pretty sure it was the first designer bag I ever owned, and I rocked it with pride everywhere from the mall to Cancun during spring break. Decades later, the brand is still going strong, crafting high-quality, on-trend purses, wallets, totes, and yes, backpacks, for the most discerning shoppers. 

As a fashion writer and editor I am a sucker for a great sale, and right now Kate Spade Outlet launched an early Black Friday sale with prices lower than ever before. Some of the hottest styles are up to 78 percent off thanks to an additional 25 percent off at checkout. Here are a few editor-approved styles you should toss in your cart ASAP and consider gifting your loved ones this holiday season.  

8 Best Kate Spade Outlet Deals

Leila Mini Zip Crossbody

Wait, how is this perfect little crossbody under $80? Designed out of incredibly soft, pebbled leather, the Kate Spade Leila Mini Zip Crossbody looks like it costs at least triple the price. The foldover style is large enough to hold your phone, a cardholder-type wallet, and a few cosmetics. Multiple shoppers confess to owning it in several colors (it comes in a whopping 11 options) dubbing it the “perfect, lightweight purse.” 

Madison Medium Satchel

Satchel bags are big this season. In a perfect world, I would be dropping a cool $10K on an Hermés Birkin, but that’s not happening. At under $100, I can buy 100 Kate Spade Madison Medium Satchels, for the cost of a used Birkin—and the design is strikingly similar with a handle and detachable crossbody strap. I also love that it is crafted out of Saffiano leather, which tends to wear better than other textures in my opinion. 

Lena Belt Bag

I’m not sure when we stopped calling them fanny packs, but the Lena Belt Bag is a super chic and cheap version of the do-it-all-on-the-go bag. The pebbled leather pouch on a strap is “so roomy,” writes one shopper, while another calls it “just the right size and very comfortable to wear around my waist.” It also has belt holes, a “game changer because no more trying to adjust,” a five-star reviewer attests. Snag it in black, tan, and a shimmery pink. 

Carey Medium Flap Shoulder Bag

`I have been wanting a Chanel Flap Bag for decades. While I don’t have several thousand dollars of disposable income to splurge on, the Kate Spade Medium Flap Shoulder Bag is so strikingly similar, designed out of smooth, quilted leather, that I can barely tell the difference. I’m obsessed with the “meringue” hue, a pearly white, but the black and tan options are no-fail as well. Shoppers swear that it is even more “elegant,” “luxurious,” and “classy” looking in person. While this one isn’t an extra 25 percent off, it’s still worth the buy for $350 less than retail.

Lena Small Bifold Wallet

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect card case-slash-mini wallet and finally found one—for under $40. The Kate Spade Lena Small Bifold Wallet offers four slots for credit cards and one for cash, plus a zip coin pocket for change. It’s the perfect size to slip into your pocket, tiny purse, or belt bag. I might stock up on these for holiday gifts for my fellow mom friends.
