The full name of this Kate Spade tote is quite a mouthful: the Happy Birthday Quinn Fairchild Gardens tote. I can’t even begin to understand the meaning of the title, which is why, for the sake of space and not causing confusion, we’ll just call it the Fairchild Gardens tote for this review.
As sometimes printed canvas bags can appear, the flowers on this purse seemed to have been hand painted directly on the material. It definitely gives it that artisan look that I like so much.
Though the Fairchild Gardens might be most appropriate for spring, I think it would still be a stylish choice for the summer season as well. With its sunny yellow blooms, it’s like carrying a bouquet around on your shoulder.
I’m reminded of the Dooney & Bourke Cindy tote with its lilies, but I do believe I like the look of this Kate Spade better than the D&B because of the Fairchild’s simpler print. The brown vachetta leather trims off the cotton canvas beautifully, and Kate Spade’s signature gold-plated hardware and logo finish the tote in style.
