'Scored major points with my wife': This classic Kate Spade bag is a Mother's Day win at almost 70% off
Not to stress you out, but Mother's Day is coming up — and if you haven't gotten your mama gift yet, it's time to step on the gas. Instead of flailing for a last-minute gift, make it easy on yourself and pop on over to the Kate Spade Outlet. There are so many gift options that will arrive in time for the big day, but one stands out above the rest: the Rosie Small Crossbody, which is majorly discounted at nearly 70% off.
The pebbled leather bag is on sale in all four colors: cream (shown), black, olive green and melon.
Why is this a good deal? ??
Kate Spade Outlet always comes through with head-spinning deals. This $349 leather crossbody was already on sale for $139 — but now you can get an extra 20% off with code SAVE20 at checkout, bringing the price down to just over $100. That's nearly $240 in savings on a designer bag. (Eyeing something else too? The retailer is throwing in a free gingham tote if you spend over $150. Tell me, when's the last time you've seen a designer deal this good?)
Why do I need this? ??
A leather crossbody bag is one of the most versatile closet staples — and this Kate Spade style is the crème de la crème. Even though it's smaller than a tote bag, it has plenty of room (with multiple interior pockets!) for all of the essentials, like your keys, phone, wallet, sunglasses and lipstick. There's a zipper at the top so nothing slips out.
You can carry it as a sporty crossbody while you're running errands and want to be hands-free — especially since it's iced-coffee season and no one wants to drop that liquid gold. If you have a dressier occasion, move the strap to your shoulder for a more elegant look. Plus, the adjustable strap is removable, turning the bag into the handiest little clutch.
What reviewers say ??
With over 660 perfect five-star reviews, it's clear that this Kate Spade crossbody bag is a major hit — especially when it comes to gifting.
Pros ??
"Mother's Day gifts are a challenge. Anything short of perfect and it's an epic fail," writes one relatable five-star reviewer. "Fortunately, the Rosie Small Crossbody in black scored major points with my wife. Of course, my son got all the credit, but that's what the day is all about." Yes, it is!
"This is the perfect travel purse!" exclaimed a happy traveler. "I have tried various purses for years, and this is it! This holds my ID, credit cards, cash, phone, sunglasses, hand sanitizer, four different lipsticks and a few other things." Multiple shoppers have also shared that they "love the size" and that it can "hold everything."
On top of traveling, one shopper says it's the "perfect size" for a night out thanks to all of the pockets. Meanwhile, another added that "it can be dressed up or down for a weekend outing."
As one final five-star reviewer puts it: "Gave as a gift, recipient loved it ... who wouldn't love a new Kate bag?"
Cons ??
While they generally adore the bag, a few shoppers have an issue with the strap: "I love it, but the only bad thing about it is the straps keep unclasping from the purse ... I just wish the clasp wasn't so easy to open, that's the only downside."
Some shoppers have also shared that the bag initially has an odor, with one noting that it "smells like a car seat." However, they have noted that it eventually goes away — so just keep that in mind if you're not a fan of that new-leather smell.
