They may not look like it when you first look at it, but these Kate Spade handbags are definitely one of the top-notch designer handbags around. Kate Spade differentiates herself from other big-shot designers by producing sensible yet stylish bags for ladies. Her bags come with high quality but simple designs. Yet, even with the modest designs, these Kate Spade handbags managed to steal attention from other designer bags.

The hobo handbags from Kate Spade are unlike most of the ones we commonly see. They are neither slouchy nor slumpy. In fact, they look downright classy, very unlike the characteristics of a typical hobo bag. These hobo handbags achieved their high class standard with their simple designs that do not scream out for attention. The Gramercy Park Dani Hobo has a combination of casualness and luxury. The luxury, of course, comes from the fact that it is made of Vachetta leather and has 14-karat gold plated hardware on its nylon body. It comes in the funky color of purple and is most suitable for any easy-going, sporting lady.

Most of the bags from Kate Spade sport a small and unobvious 'Kate Spade New York' logo on them. It's a refreshing change of scenes after seeing all the other designer bags which have big logos glaring out to you. Likewise, the drawstring handbags also sport the same humble logos, most of which have plain but elegant designs. Take the Jubilee Stripe Drawstring Opus out for spring walk; drawstring handbags are apparently very popular during the spring time. Unlike most of the other bags, this one boasts classic bold-colored stripes across its body. It also has generous capacity to accommodate all your essential items from lip balm to ballet shoes. To close, simply cinch up the bag and you're ready to go.

But if you don't like this kind of bags, there are always the ones that close with a zip. Take the Condesa Stevie Tote for a change. This canvas tote features double shoulder strap and accentuated with gold tone hardware with beads accents. Of course, as mentioned, this is a bag that zips on the top. Another recommendable top-zip handbag would be the vintage-inspired Roland Park Dani. Made from goat hide, it boasts a single shoulder strap and has two external pocket flaps on the front. While it might not be as spacious as the drawstrings, there is enough room for the essential items.

For the ones who don't like carrying their bags on the shoulder all the time, there are always the cross body handbags, otherwise known as messenger bags. With the bag hanging across you body, you'd probably feel more secure and you'd have both your hands free too (to better assist you in shopping!). With the Boerum Hill Ryder, you'd certainly be able to shop in peace and in style. The chic handbag has a timeless design (as is with all Kate Spade's bags) using goat skin fabric with patent leather trim. The tan color can easily match most outfits which makes this bag versatile in use and fashion.

Most of the bags from Kate Spade are fairly priced and isn't over-the-top. However, they aren't very cheap either. However, with the fashion forward designs and sometimes funky styles, it'd be worth the penny. If you're looking for bag with good functionality as well as good fashion, you'd never go wrong with Kate Spade handbags.
