Our take on the Kate Spade Carter Nylon Medium Sling Bag

The Kate Spade Carter is a medium nylon sling bag with a zip top, an adjustable strap that converts from shoulder to crossbody, and an interior slip pocket. It measures 12 inches wide by 8 inches high and 2.4 inches deep, with a 24-inch strap drop, and Kate Spade says it fits an iPhone 13 Pro Max. The nylon is recycled, which makes it light and easy to wipe clean. At $99.00 at Mercari as of November 5, 2026, it sits well below its usual full retail, so this is a good moment to buy.
