Lovely handbag, well packaged and presented and delivered quickly. Would have been 5 stars, but there was no dust bag included, which is really essential to keep bags in good condition when not in use... See more

Complete lack of any Customer Service

I placed an order on the Kate Spade website today - never received an email confirming and couldn't see the order on my account. Tried to call Customer Services to see if there was a technical issue. There is an automated message left over from Christmas saying they are not answering calls. Contact Us page stated they are experiencing high volumes of queries and to send an message. I wish I had looked at these reviews before because then I would not have ordered at all. How can such a premium brand have a such shocking customer service ? I have now paid for something that Kate Spade has no record of and I have no means to speak to anyone. They have copy and pasted every response to negative reviews which is disingenuous. They clearly don't care.

Shocking customer service from Kate…

Shocking customer service from Kate Spade. Have emailed so many times about a bag which has not been received. They do not reply, and think by ignoring people they will just go away. Will not be buying anything from here again, which is a shame as was a fan before this situation

Complex warranty process

Purchased a bag in the US. Less than 5 months later, the strap came away from the bag despite only occasional use. Clearly a manufacturing issue as the screw attaching the strap was not lock tight.
Pursued a replacement via warranty back in the UK) global company and same bag for sale in the UK so assumed wouldn’t be an issue). 3 months of emails back and forth later and have been sent a voucher which doesn’t cover the cost of the bag, and isn’t enough to buy any replacement bag on the website. Would not recommend.

Return of order KGP00269670

Return of order KGP00269670

Would never deal with this company again. Order returned on 29 December and customer service response disjointed and automated at best. Nothing positive or helpful - just platitudes and standard stalling tactics adopted to avoid making a refund. It seems that many other people have fallen victim to the same incompetence .......... or is it just deliberate ? It seems this a company that thinks it's acceptable and ethical to receive back the goods that you've paid for and still keep your money !!!

I purchased a bag from their UK…

I purchased a bag from their UK website. However, I changed my mind when I received, it seemed smaller then I expected. So I returned it without using with tag and original packaging. It’s been almost one month since the day I returned and still I haven’t received clear response about when will I receive the refund or when they will be able to give a response.
It has been the worst online shopping experience I have ever had in the UK so far.

Update: Thanks for your response. I have provided my order number and receipt that I received from post office in the email I had shared with you on 29/12/2025 and 07/01/2026. I also have sent several follow up emails but haven’t received any response.

Missing refund

Placed an order way before Christmas, which was delivered to the wrong address. Spoke to someone very helpful on the phone, who kindly advised it would be sent back to Kate Spade and refunded. I then emailed as it had been weeks and I still hadn’t recieved my refund. I then recieved an email response to ask if I’d like a refund or a replacement. I asked for a refund, however it’s been two months with no refund and I’ve emailed multiple times and rung multiple times with no response. Avoid at all costs! I’ll be taking this further.

I genuinely could not recommend…

I genuinely could not recommend shopping here any less, I ordered my bag on the 23rd of december and I get that it’s a busy time but on the same day it got dispatched but NOTHING has happened since then, and they have changed the delivery dates twice. I have emailed them TWICE and little to no help, in the second email they said that they contacted the courier to prioritise my package but nothing has yet to happen. So disappointing as a first time customer was really hoping for a good experience, I don’t plan to purchase from here again.

Happy customer

I was surprised to see negative reviews about Kate Spade...
I bought a bag online - and had a query.. so I rang the Regent Street store - spoke to Liliana.
She got back to me super quick and solved the mystery - and 2 days later - a lovely bag arrived!
Thank you Liliana and Kate Spade - great customer service!

I would like to give zero stars…

I would like to give zero stars obviously.

Bought a bag online on 14 December. Delivery promised for 19 December. Didn't happen obviously. delays with courier GLS who are very busy etc. etc. Promised delayed delivery on 29 December. Again no delivery. Unbelievably poor tracking software says package is in Ireland on 29 December and today its 8 January and no delivery, no real updates or reliable future delivery estimate. Website says they use DPD but they don't. Complete shambles. No point in worrying about your brand and then entrusting delivery to such a poor courier service.

Do not order

Do not order! They have rubbish customer service that take forever to investigate the individual case. For context I ordered two bags in different colours to choose between. The one I liked arrived damaged so I returned that for an exchange and the other colour for a refund. Their team has refunded my exchange (when the item is still in stock!!) and they have done nothing with the other colour which should have been refunded. I’m now short on money and lacking the items. Not a great experience and one they’re failing to resolve. I will never be shopping here again and recommend that you don’t too!!
