A beautiful, soft, finely finished and costly bag

I defer to Mrs. Engineer in everything related to purses. I’ve included her comments below.
UNPACKING
The bag arrives surrounded by a thin foam pad inside a plastic bag. An unremarkable polyester storage bag (shown in a photo) is included. It comes folded in the same package as the bag.
IMPRESSIONS
The first impression the bag makes is that it's simple and beautiful and that the leather feels wonderful.
The interior has one open pouch and one with a zipper (see photos). That’s sufficient for Mrs. Engineer but some people may want more subdivisions of the interior.
The bag has top stitching everywhere. As shown in photos, there is impeccable top stitching throughout the interior and on the bottom.
The interior is light colored, a feature always desirable in a bag for ease of finding things.
The wide, flat (from front to back) bottom allows the bag to sit upright unless it’s loaded in an extremely unbalanced way. Because of the fineness of the leather, most people wouldn’t want to put it down on any flooring unless it was carpeted.
The handle is comfortable and is suitable for both handheld and over-the-shoulder carrying. The strap length can be adjusted to fit the user.
PRICE
It’s difficult to comment on the price and whether it’s a good value. Certainly all the functions of this bag, including looking elegant, can be accomplished with a bag costing a quarter as much. Whether the quality of the leather, the fineness of the finishing and the cachet of the Kate Spade brand is worth the cost of the bag depends on the eye, and the resources, of the beholder.
We received this bag at no cost through the Amazon Vine program in return for an unbiased review. For us, personally, it would not be worth its price at the time of this review, but the popularity of the brand proves that many others feel differently about it.
CONCLUSIONS
This is a beautiful and finely finished bag that we are happy to have, and there’s nothing negative to say about it. I’ve given it five stars.
