Kate Spade Is Having a Major Sale on Summery Handbags and Accessories

Kate Spade's style legacy will live on forever in her feminine, whimsical creations. The iconic designer had a genius for lending a sophisticated flair to cute, quirky pieces — after all, who else could make a crab-shaped keychain look completely chic? We'll never stop adoring Spade's uniquely charming handbags and accessories, and now's a great time to stock up on some particularly summery pieces. 

The brand is currently holding "The Big Sale," which takes an extra 30 percent off all sale styles. There's literally more than a thousand items on sale — whoops! there went our entire afternoon online shopping — but we've whittled down our top picks to all the summer essentials. Naturally, the means gingham backpacks, a smart straw tote decked with a bow, and a jaunty silk scarf decked with a picnic print. Scroll down to shop our picks, below.

And if you need us in the meantime, we'll just be "out and about" in the sun hat down below ...
