Is the Hudson bag leather or faux leather?

It is genuine pebbled leather with a silk lining. The pebbled grain hides scratches better than smooth leather.

Can it be worn crossbody?

Yes. The strap allows shoulder or crossbody wear, so it works for both casual and dressier outfits.

Does the magnetic closure keep the bag shut?

It snaps shut easily, but it is not a secure lock. Avoid overfilling it if you carry valuables.

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

The Hudson holds more and sits higher on the body than the mini crossbodies, but it is larger and heavier.

Which color is most practical?

The darker taupe and grey shades hide marks better than parchment, which shows scuffs and dye transfer.

A phone, small wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few cosmetics fit comfortably. Larger tablets do not.

Our take on the Kate Spade New York Hudson Pebbled Leather Flap Shoulder Bag

The Kate Spade New York Hudson is a medium flap shoulder bag in pebbled genuine leather, with a magnetic snap closure and a silk-lined interior. It carries the brand's signature spade hardware and clean, rounded silhouette, and it can be worn on the shoulder or across the body. It sits in the brand's mid-tier leather line: more structured and roomier than the mini crossbodies, less formal than the chain-strap evening bags. Owners rate it highly for everyday use, though some note the magnetic closure and light-colored leather need care.
