Hudson Small Backpack

Perfect size for a casual purse. Love the color!

Perfect size and durable for my needs.

I really wanted to love this backpack as a replacement for my old, well-loved one, but the adjustable strap design is a dealbreaker. If you tighten the straps to wear it higher, like shown on the model, the excess slack awkwardly sticks out instead of tucking neatly like previous designs. I even visited a Kate Spade store to confirm I wasn’t adjusting it wrong, and the sales rep admitted it was the correct adjustment while oddly defending the design with a lecture about her chiropractor recommending that people wear backpack really low on their back. This strange flaw ruins an otherwise perfect backpack. Kate Spade, please address this issue!
