Why we love this deal

As much as we love a great purse, even the super oversized ones can still lack the amount of space we need to fit our wallet, keys, phone, laptop and other small essentials that seem impossible to leave the house without. And as much as we love a sturdy backpack, a lot of them aren’t as pleasing to the eye as we’d like. Sure, they’re super functional, but what fun is a basic bag in black or a muted neutral color? Lucky for shoppers who want the best of both worlds, there are some great designer backpacks that have both style and the proper storage space for all your “can’t leave without” items, and although they can occasionally run pretty steep, great sales like the recent one going on at the Kate Spade Outlet make it easier than ever to get exactly what you want.

As part of a long weekend deal, you can get the Kate Spade Carter Ksnyl Backpack for 76% off right now. The backpack, which originally retails for $329, is 67% off on its own, but Kate Spade Outlet is offering both an extra 20% and additional 10% in-cart discount for a total of $78 and a total savings of $251.

Why do shoppers love it?

Perfect for the shopper who likes their accessories with a bit of flair but not too much flash, this backpack has a sleek, modern design. Depending on which color you purchase it in, it’s either made of nylon or 100% recycled nylon, but regardless, it has a silky, smooth texture that looks good, feels good, and is highly durable. Nylon is a popular fabric for purses because of its exceptional durability, as well as for the fact that it’s lightweight and water-resistant, a bonus especially during the months where the weather is super unpredictable.

The backpack measures 9.7 inches long, 5.75 inches wide, and 13 inches high, and is advertised as “compact yet spacious” — two traits that certainly pique our interest. The backpack itself has two flap pockets and side slips, perfect for storing smaller items and things you want easy access to, like your cell phone or key ring. There are also two interior pockets to organize items like your laptop, a planner, notebooks, and other important essentials.

The bag is adorned with both a handle, which has a drop of 3.5 inches, and straps, which measure 37 inches at their longest length. Both are easy ways to carry the backpack, and the straps are actually adjustable so you can change it up between a looser, more slung over the shoulder look and a more form-fitting, supportive look for times when you’re carrying a heavier load.
