I have read the reviews and it seems like a lot of people are whining over minor stuff. I am shocked that some people are complaining for things that were their own fault! Just stop!
I did purchase my 1st Kate Spade bag back in February of this year and a couple weeks ago, I noticed that the rubber-type edging on the handles started pulling apart. I contacted Customer Service immediately via email, sent them photos, proof of purchase and style number of my bag. Within 2 days, I got a response from someone named Erica and she was most helpful! I was able to get a replacement purse (not the same purse but same value). It is being shipped to me. But overall the company backed their warranty and the Customer Service was outstanding! I do love the quality of the purse! It is just the handle finishing edge, I don't think it's catastrophic! The material is durable and wipes clean with a wet cloth. The overall quality is outstanding! I highly recommend Kate Spade Purses!
They put a hold on my gift card balance after the website failed to process the order I placed. Called customer service and they told me it would take 3-5 days to reinstate the funds so I wasn't able to re-submit the order during the stated sales period. Customer service could care less and said nothing more they could do. Not a fan of Kate Spade products and just trying to spend the gift card I got but would not shop here again and definitely not recommend to anyone.
So I ordered the COBBLE HILL TARYN bag on sale for $87. I put in my shipping information and by accident entered in the wrong zip code, but kate spade still read the address correctly (even though the location does not exist on a map) and processed my order. I was waiting over 2 weeks for my order when I decided to call Kate Spade customer service. A rep named Lisa picked up the phone and started telling me how my order was RETURNED TO SENDER and I'm going to get a refund. I told her, I don't want the refund, I want the bag! She said "sorry maam, you have to repurchase the item because of the wrong information you entered." I FLIPPED OUT... If I entered wrong information, Kate Spade system should of never processed my order, they would not process it if I entered the wrong credit card information. They should of contacted me for the right address or never processed my order in the first place. I'M SOOO MAD BECAUSE I WAS WAITING FOR THIS BAG TO GO ON SALE. But THEIR POLICY dictates that they have to refund me the money and then I'd have to purchase it at full price. NEVER EVER SHOPPING WITH KATE SPADE AGAIN. Don't get me wrong, I like their bags, BUT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICY IS RIDICULOUS!
I'D GIVE THEM NO STARS IF I COULD.
I bought some iPhone cases and they arrive so fast to my home only 5 business days! Absolutely I love the quality of my products.
This was my first and last, they don't stand behind their product. It was just a little wristlet but I have and have had them last many years. Customer service was not very customer friendly either.
I ordered 2 bags & then I get an email that my order was cancelled. (It wasn't an issue w my credit card) The purses were on sale, so they were probably selling purses they did not actually have. I have bought this brand for many years, but no more. Not cool, Kate Spade, not cool.
My Kate Spade purse lasted 10 months before the straps fell apart. It was my first Kate Spade purse and was so excited when my sister bought it for my birthday. Very cheap quality and so disappointed, it's in the trash now. Save your money don't buy Kate Spade!
I received a purse for Christmas 2015, used it for about 8 months before the handles started to fall apart. I took it in to my local Kate Spade store and they said they could fix the handles for free since it was under the one year warranty. I received the bag back a few weeks later, the straps were repaired but they were still the original worn straps. Another 8 months later the straps are falling apart again. I'm unwilling to fix this since I know it will happen again.
I thought a $300 plus purse would last a few years with no problems, but this purse doesn't last as long as a purse that is cheaper than $50! I won't be buying anything from Kate Spade in the future due to the lack of quality.
Not as high quality as I thought. Being a 'high quality' brand I expected more from the phone case I ordered. The look overall is nice but the stitching is messed up on the bottom of it. I bought the case (which is expensive) and within 3 months the trim around the leather is ripping off in multiple locations. I am very gentle with the things I own and it didn't keep the product from becoming defective. The company is very unsympathetic of this and cheats you of your money. I would NOT recommend this product. If it tears shortly within buying the product they will not replace it. Apparently their warranty doesn't apply to phone cases? Because of what they claim normal wear and tear... however when you purchase a product for as much as they cost you expect it to last more than 3 months.
Costumer service was completely unsympathetic and the kate spade website Declines you from saying anything too negative about the product on their site. I will never purchase from them again. Not impressed.
Purchased a purse from the sight. Never received it, though payment was taken. When I contacted them they sent me a new purse but I was charged 50.00 to, have it sent to me. Still have not been reimbursed. Everyone passes the buck when you call. For this reason I would never purchase a Kate spade bag. I have actually sold 2 bags that I have because they have left such a bad taste in my mouth
I bought a Kate Spade wristlet and within a year the wrist strap frayed so much that it broke. When I contacted customer service they said that as long as it was new within a year, they could replace it but it would take 2-3 MONTHS to receive it. 10 months later and I still never received anything. Their product guarantee is lies.
Usually choose out of their old arrivals. Their style is so great as well as using their service. Feels like I'm walking on air because of their shop and discounts! Would buy it all!
I bought a hand bag on December and I got stained with jeans! It is impossible to clean it and the answer from customer service is that is because of the material, can you believe it! The make bags with materials that you cannot clean!
And the guaranty does not cover it! 3 months and you have to thought it away!
I've found so many nice stuff at Kate Spade. I love that store. And when they have sales, you can find great items for very reasonable prices.
I placed the order online for EVERPURSE X KATE SPADE NEW YORK ZANA. On not receiving the product on time I called them to find out the status. Then they tell me that there is something wrong with the shipping and then another person says that they are out of the stock. Didn't expect such POOR management service from such a reputed brand. Really disappointed!
Love there bras. I love the free shipping and i get my items quick shipping at that. That dont give me a problem and I can go to their store to return and exchange if i need to.
Bought to very expensive items from kate spade and both items are falling apart! Well not be buying and Kate spade products again! /:
I got my daughter a watch 2 years ago. The band was pink but a couple of months later, it started to lose the color and looked between black and pink. We replaced it, now it started to lose the little stones from the front and they are just moving around the watch when it is moved. Very unsatisfied with the quality!
Experience was very good. I ordered a bag & got it in 1 week. Bag was as described on kate spade surprize website. I will definitely order again.
Answer: Good luck with that! Once they make a sale that's it. Good luck getting in touch with a person. The brick and mortar store maybe easier to deal with, but the website is the worst. Don't do business with these guys online
