Is the Kate Medium big enough for everyday use?

It holds a phone, cardholder, keys and a lipstick, but not a full-size wallet, water bottle or tablet. It suits evenings and light days rather than commutes.

What is the strap drop and can it be worn crossbody?

The chain runs about 48 cm, so it works as a shoulder bag and can be doubled for a shorter carry. It is not long enough for most adults to wear crossbody.

Is the leather prone to scratching?

The grain de poudre embossed calfskin is more scratch-resistant than smooth calfskin. Corners and edges still show wear with heavy daily use.

How does the Medium compare to the Kate Small?

The Medium is wider and holds more, while the Small is closer to an evening clutch. Choose the Medium if you carry a phone plus a few extras.

When is the best time to buy it?

Designer prices move with seasonal sales and resale supply. The best new price was $1,565 at Designer Revival as of November 6, 2026, so compare against that figure.
