Is the chain strap adjustable?

No. The chain is fixed, so the bag hangs at one drop length. Taller shoppers often find it sits higher than a true crossbody.

A phone, cardholder, keys and a lipstick fit. A full-size wallet or sunglasses case will not.

Is patent leather hard to care for?

It wipes clean with a soft damp cloth, but it shows scratches and fingerprints more than pebbled leather.

Does the magnetic snap stay closed?

It holds the flap shut for normal wear, but it is not a secure closure and can pop open if the bag is overfilled.

How does it compare with Kate Spade's pebbled crossbodies?

The Krista is smaller and dressier, with a chain instead of a leather strap. Pebbled models hold more and wear more casually.

Is it a good evening bag?

Yes. The compact size and gold chain suit dinners and events, though it will not carry much beyond essentials.

About the Kate Spade Krista Chain Crossbody Patent

The Krista is a small patent-leather crossbody with a gold chain strap and a magnetic snap flap. It holds a phone, cardholder, keys and a lipstick, and little more. The glossy patent finish and chain give it a dressier look than Kate Spade's pebbled-leather crossbodies, and the chain is not adjustable, so it wears at one fixed drop. Shoppers who want a compact evening or errand bag like it; those who carry a wallet and sunglasses should size up.
