Kate Spade Outlet’s $259 Classic Monica Flap Crossbody Is Marked Down to $72—a Whopping 73% Off

To this day, my go-to purse is a simple Kate Spade crossbody that I found at a thrift shop in San Francisco nearly a decade ago. Despite being pre-loved (and somehow surviving every errand, night out, and trip of my 20s), it’s held up miraculously well, with every zipper, button, and strap flawlessly functioning just like the day I brought it home. When recently looking to expand my collection, I discovered the Kate Spade Outlet—and I learned that there’s dozens of new bags with thrift-store price tags waiting to find a home.  

If you’re on the hunt for a trusty, everyday LBB (little black bag), look no further than Kate Spade’s Monica Small Flap Crossbody. It’s a sleek, simple bag designed for on-the-go gals who want elegance without bulk—and right now you can add it to your accessory arsenal for 73% off.

Whether you’re headed out for date night or darting between meetings, the compact Monica delivers on both style and practicality. With enough space for essentials (think: smartphone, keys, wallet, and lipstick), it keeps everything in reach without weighing you down. The bag’s classy pebbled-leather construction holds up beautifully, and its clean design makes it a versatile pick that can be dressed up or down. Despite being posh, it’s far from flashy: Accented with a touch of silver hardware and an unobtrusive Kate Spade logo across the flap closure, the Monica exudes quiet luxury. 

Despite its petite frame, this polished crossbody purse is thoughtfully designed. An interior zip pocket offers an extra-secure place to stash credit cards or cash, and its adjustable strap allows you to style it long or short (even as a shoulder bag). The flap fastens firmly with a magnetic button so nothing slips out during travel, making it perfect for everything from hands-free errands to long travel days. 

As a Kate Spade loyalist, each product’s durability stands out, and I expect the quality of the Monica will be as excellent as every other style from the brand. The leather on this bag is treated to resist scratches and stains, and the lining is a matching black shade (which conveniently hides dust and ill-fated lipstick marks). Zippers and clasps are built to stand up to daily use—mine has even encountered a few rainstorms—without losing shine or functionality. 

Shoppers can’t stop raving about the bag, too, calling it “very well made,” the “perfect size,” and “quite versatile.” Petite reviewers appreciate its easy-to-adust strap, and others report purchasing the purse as a gift, only to fall in love with it and buy another for themselves. With over 100 five-star ratings, it’s a smart purchase—and $187 off. 

If black isn’t your jam, there’s a number of other on-sale colors to choose from, including off-white, deep red, and soft green. You can also find a ton of everyday Kate Spades at a major outlet discount right now; scroll on to shop more of our outlet favorites.
