Our take on the Kate Spade Madison Shoulder Bag

The Kate Spade Madison is a medium saffiano leather shoulder bag with a zip top, gold-tone hardware and a 22-inch strap that converts from shoulder to crossbody carry. It measures about 10.4 by 7.6 by 3.24 inches, sized for a wallet, phone and keys rather than a laptop. Saffiano leather is cross-hatched and coated, so it resists scratches and light rain better than smooth leather. It is a mainstream designer bag at a mid-tier price, and the 4.8 rating from 212 ratings shows strong owner satisfaction.

Questions and answers

Is the Kate Spade Madison worth it?
At a 4.8 rating from 212 ratings, owners mostly think so. You are paying for saffiano leather, a convertible strap and a structured shape that survives daily use. It is a reasonable price for a designer everyday bag if you do not need to carry a laptop.
How does it compare to the Kate Spade Knott or other Madison sizes?
The Madison line comes in several sizes; this one is the medium shoulder bag at 10.4 inches wide. The Knott is softer and slouchier, while the Madison keeps a rigid, polished shape. Pick the Madison if you want structure and the Knott if you want a softer feel.
Does it fit a phone, wallet and keys?
Yes. The 10.4 by 7.6 by 3.24 inch body holds a full-size wallet, a phone and keys with room to spare. A tablet or laptop will not fit.
Can the strap be worn crossbody?
Yes. The 22-inch strap converts between shoulder and longer crossbody carry. It is not removable on all versions, so check the listing if you want to swap straps.
What is it made of?
Saffiano leather, a coated, cross-hatched leather that resists scratches and light moisture. It is stiffer than smooth leather and softens only slightly with use.
When is the best time to buy it?
Kate Spade runs frequent sales around major holidays and end of season, and department stores discount it then too. Compare prices across stores before buying, since the gap between full price and sale price is often large.
