Top 5 Handbags From the Kate Spade Summer Collection

As you may know, Kate Spade New York - a leading American designer brand -has opened its doors at the Dubai Mall... And the store looks fantastic! This is their second Middle Eastern location, the other being in Kuwait.

I just love how bright and "happy" it is. I really liked the staff because they were so smiley and helpful (I am used to two kinds of salespeople: those who bombard me and ruin the shopping experience or those who couldn't care less if I lived or died.)

The new store is such a welcome change because, to be quite honest, I am really sick of the Chanels and Vuittons that seem to be plaguing this country.  I want something new and that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

In comes Kate Spade, and these are my top 5 handbags from the new collection - now available at the Dubai Mall:

A La Vita Geri in Flame Red - USD298

Palm Groves Melinda in Gold- USD278

Primrose Hill Little Kaelin Fushcia - USD318

Shoreline Perry in Chino - USD348

Tiki Bar Cocktail Clutch - USD 358
