I can't tell you how disappointing it is to make an order for a Birthday/Valentines gift on January 20,2025 and after not receiving the purse for 3 weeks I reached out to them and was told my order was cancelled the purse was now out of stock! Had I not reached out to them I never would have have known. I responded to the email with my disappointment and was offered a 15% discount! I was left with no time to order a new bag but I learned a lesson - don't order from a facebook post! I got taken 3 times during the holidays and now disappointed by a brand that I have a closet full of. I will now move on to a new brand and hopefully more considerate customer service. By the way the customer service department was as cold as ice to my dismay!
I asked for a bluestone purse and I got dark blue and I was waiting for the delivery more than 10 days and at the end I received a wrong order.
Absolutely ridiculous company. This is my first issue with them and will not be ordering from here ever again! I placed an order on 12/6, it shipped on 12/10 and still have not received any updates on shipping through UPS as of 12/19/2024. How is it that orders from China are getting here quicker? Customer service is ignoring me completely through email and phone. I will be filing a report and a claim to try to get my money back.
Ordered a bracelet 12/4 and Kate Spade company said it shipped 12/7. It's 12/18 and UPS does not have possession of it yet. Kate Spade is making me wait 3 weeks before reporting further review. Ridiculous!
I have a couple of items from this brand that I absolutely love. I ordered a present for a family member for Christmas on black Friday. Delivery was supposed to be 12/9, it is now 12/14. Every day the delivery date keeps changing to the next day and then never arriving. I have tried emailing and calling with no response or answer. I am currently on hold for the second time because after an hour on hold they hang up on you. Currently been on hold for 1.5hours.
Purse leather wearing out and straps falling apart but since it is past the one year warrenty no help from customer service at all! Purchased for mother in law (75 years old) for her first designer purse and embarressed how this purse wore out worse then a cheap handbag. For the prices they should at least back thier product. Could have made an old lady very happy but chose to do nothing.
I do not recommend this brand.
Please see the attached photos for reference.
I purchased this purse during Black
Friday on November 24,2023. I used
It for only four months during the
Summer, after which it was stored in
Its dust bag in my closet. When I went to use it again on November 29,
2024, I noticed unusual markings on
The leather. It seems like the pebbled
Texture has lost its grain, showing
Strange "tunnels or swiggly lines.
When I contacted customer service, I
Was told the warranty had expired on
November 24, just six days earlier
They explained that the warranty only
Covers defects in materials or
Workmanship under normal use, and
Does not include issues like wear and tear, scratches, or discoloration,
However, the damage on my purse is
Clearly a defect in workmanship, not
Normal wear and tear. Their solution was for me to pay for the repair
Myself or take purse to the store
For advice on how to care for it. This
Response shows a lack of
Accountability and disregard for loyal customers.
As a result, I will never shop with
Them again. I plan to return the purse
I purchased on November 30,2024
And I strongly discourage others from
Supporting the Kate Spade Brand
Be aware of purchasing sale items and shipping them to Australia. There are no returns. I was sent two right shoes rather than a pair. They are beautiful but only good for the garbage bin. Such a shame.
Bought an item off their outlet only receive it from another Canadian city and then find out as they do not state on the site the fees. In small print they state afterwards no returns/exchanges/refunds. Basically saying ha ha sucker we have your money. Save your money and go to the local Walmart as all there crap comes from China. Zero quality.
Ordered the Reagan Bucket Bag and the Chelsea Laptop sleeve from Kate Spade. A very small box was delivered today with a weight of 1.1 pounds containing only the free nylon tote that came with theorder. No bucket bag or laptop sleeve. If they had been included that would certainly have been more than 1.1 pounds per Post Office Delivery Confirmation. I took the box in as soon as the postman left it at my door, so no porch pirates. Spent time on chat with customer service and was told I would be contacted by email. So far no response. Very disappointing. Afraid to order from them again.
Bought the Breeze Sandals in Sea Star color for my daughter as a Christmas present. Online ordering is not the way to go. They were on sale and I did not notice it was a nonreturnable item. Sandals are cute, but very cloggy and do not stay on the feet when walking. Extremely uncomfortable. Guess were stuck with a an $80, size 11 shoe that we'll designate as the "run the garbage out shoes." Be wary of sale items and triple check they are returnable.
I got my order from the kate spade outlet it was wrapped in paper that had food on it and there was clear fluid in the packaging that smelled like onions I'm literally horrified worst experience ever.
I had an email offering a discount for a specific item. I went ahead and applied, didn't work. It was a measly 10% off. Not a single customer service officer did anything. You're a huge company and you can't rectify an error generated by your company? Discounts matter for regular people like us who patronize your over-priced products in case you decide to care.
Order no zup*******, bought this 68.00 necklace for my granddaughter for Christmas and the 2 nd time she put it on it broke. She went to catch it and it fell apart in pieces. I contacted the store and they refuse to stand behind it calling it human error. It truly is not and would like a simple exchange. Buyers beware their jewelry is not price worthy. I am so disappointed that no one stands behind their product
I wanted to share my recent experience with Kate Spade to shed light on some concerns that potential buyers may find helpful. While the bangles I purchased initially seemed promising, the overall experience has been less than satisfactory.
To start, one of the bangles I received was scratched. Disappointingly, when I reached out to Kate Spade about the issue, their suggested solution was for me to engage a local jeweler. This response left me feeling unsupported as a customer, as I expected a more proactive approach to address a product quality issue.
Considering both the lack of responsiveness to my emails and the handling of a damaged item, I advise potential customers to weigh these factors carefully before making a purchase decision.
I love their stuff but the clasps on almost everything suck. I was gifted a bracelet where you twisted the spade logo. Fell off, bought a new one to not upset them. Fell off. On of my purses has a clasp undone often constantly one falls off. My reason for the review is because I lost my card,money and license because a crappy clasp on a coin purse. I will say one of my favorite totes has lasted 4 years. But I won't be back.
Ordered two items for my wifes xmas presents. Sent part of the ordered and then a week later told me the main item was out of stock. Called and they were nasty on the phone. I don't recommend this company!
Excitedly purchased my very first Kate Spade products to be quickly disappointed. This lanyard style card holder is perfect for hands free carrying of personal needs and for getting into restricted size bag events. I use this product when traveling and going to special events, meaning it gets used occasionally, and I am sad to say the lanyard strap is garbage; three layers of material glued together, not stitched. I have had this item for 10 months, again used occasionally, when I reached out to KS the basically said sorry to bad, go away, considering this normal wear and tear! All I requested was a replacement lanyard strap, nope! I will not purchase from them again; highly disappointed!
I am no longer loyal to Kate Spade brand. My second purse purchased broke in less than 40 days. Amazing since I'd hardly used it in that time. The strap hardware just snapped. When I took the purse to a local Kate Spade retail shop they refused to help me with repair or replacement options because it was purchased at Nordstrom. When something you make breaks right after purchase and you don't try to fix it, it's a sign that this isn't an irregular issue. I don't have confidence in this brand anymore.
I recently purchased a piece of clothing during their Mother's Day sale (use a code for 25% off). We're all used to these types of sales now. Well the item came, was huge and I tried to return it. They said anything purchased with a code, mind you not clearance items or items marked final sale, automatically is final sale if purchased during a discount weekend. It's a really sneaky thing to do and makes me reticent to purchase from them going forward. My receipt also does not say final sale
Answer: Good luck with that! Once they make a sale that's it. Good luck getting in touch with a person. The brick and mortar store maybe easier to deal with, but the website is the worst. Don't do business with these guys online
