Kate Spade New York Cobble Hill Devin

Kate Spade New York Cobble Hill Devin in Black

Everyone loves a good Kate Spade bag and even though this is not meant to carry diapers, that's exactly what I did:)  I love that this purse looks slim, sleek and gorgeous, but the inside is also roomy enough for the diapering needs!  I have two kids, but Tanner is now potty trained, so I'm back to just carrying diapers for a toddler.  This is the perfect little bag for running errands because it will hold all the essentials and won't weigh you down.  Kate Spade is  known for their high quality products and attention to details and this bag is no exception.

There are two ways to carry the bag.  The first is with this rolled tote handle.  It is not removable, which doesn't bother me too much because when I am using the messenger strap I just lay this handle to the back.  I do wish it was a little longer so that the bag could be worn on my shoulder, but it works great as a grab handle and toting on my forearm.

The sides of the bag have this really classy looking buckle detail that I am loving.

The back has one longer zippered compartment that can easily fit my phone, checkbook, pens, makeup, etc.

The bottom of the bag doesn't have any sort of feet, but since it is a real leather bag it should be pretty durable and easy to clean, especially with the black color.

The bag opens and closes with a magnet and I was worried that it wouldn't be strong enough, but it is a tough, little magnet that will keep your belongings secure.

The flap of the bag also has this really pretty zippered pocket and you can see the nice detail of the leather zipper pull.  The inside lining is a soft, silky striped material that is suuuper cute!

What is really cool is that this flap pocket goes all the way down to the bottom of the bag, so if you had anything that was taller that could be folded over it could easily go into this compartment.

The main interior has two slip pockets on the front side and a zippered pocket on the back side.  I was able to put all of my diapering needs, plus my wallet in the center.  I put some smaller toys in one of the slip pockets and some snacks in the other.  I packed medical necessities into the back zippered pocket and was good to go!

The optional messenger strap is my favorite way to carry the bag, but I do wish it had the option to be just a little bit longer when I wear it cross-body. 

The buckle detail on this strap is really cute and it just adds something special to the whole look.

When I attach the messenger strap I place it in front of the tote strap so that the tote strap will lay nicely behind the bag.

Of course the beautiful Kate Spade logo adds a lot of glamour to this bag!  

You all know I love having a dust cover to keep my bags looking nice and this dust cover makes me so happy with the little gold foil lettering.  It is pretty much adorable!

Overall this bag would be great for a mama who wants to start carrying less, but still wants to have room for the essentials.  This purse is made of such soft leather, gold metal hardware, and a silky striped lining that is so timeless.  I have really enjoyed using this bag and I think you will too:)
