Shop The Edit

There’s something for every mother in your life at kate spade new york, but these eight finds are editor favorites: Ahead, the best from the brand’s latest drop.

1. A Sunny Crossbody Tote That’s Delightfully Versatile

Spacious enough for all her essentials with the convenience of a shoulder bag and the polish of a top-handle purse: That’s the Knott crossbody tote in a nutshell. Made from pebbled leather the color of sidewalk chalk in a modern trapezoidal shape, the butter-yellow floral print is a breath of fresh air while its ample interior organization brings a sigh of relief on busy days — and room to hold a water bottle or paperback.

2. These Subtle, Sentimental Huggies

For the matriarch who is never seen without her signature hoop earrings, these huggies will make a heartwarming addition to her daily jewelry rotation. Just the kind of accessory you want to wear going into a long day, the subtle “mom” in cursive cubic zirconia is a sentimental touch without being too obvious. Surgical steel posts give them a hypoallergenic finish that she can wear until it’s time to take them off at the end of the night.

3. A Sleek, Chic Little ‘Carrie Bradshaw’ Bag

And just like that, baguettes are trending again. Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic handbag has been enjoying its own reboot, making the Grace shoulder bag a gift that’s both timeless and trend-driven. The minimalist ‘90s flap shape nestles under the arm in supple leather, but its strap can be lengthened into a crossbody on busy days. It comes in classic neutrals that go with everything, but she might also like the green pear or creamy strawberry versions for a pop of pastel color.

4. A Sparkling Nameplate Necklace To Wear With Pride

Trendy, playful, and made to be worn on a near-daily basis, the Love You, Mom necklace keeps her title front and center — a badge of honor. A phalanx of glittering cubic zirconia crystals flank its delicate script charm in gold-toned plated metals. On a versatile 16-inch chain, it falls just below the collar of a button-down shirt — just the right length for everyday.

5. This Elegant Structured Bag With A Bamboo Handle

The Katy bag looks and feels like an investment piece, with a structured body rendered in rich leather and a polished bamboo top handle. It was practically made for tucking over the elbow — ideally, on the way to a business lunch — but there’s an included crossbody strap for when both hands need to be free. This buttercup yellow couldn’t be more seasonal, and you’ll find a crisp white version as well with year-round versatility.

6. The Sweetest Charm Bracelet

An adorable twist on Mother’s Day jewelry, the Ducks In A Row bracelet speaks not only to her role as a mama but also to the family that follows behind her footsteps. (It would make an especially good joint gift coming from multiple siblings) The adjustable 6.75-inch bracelet is plated in gold-toned metal for long-term polish and is finished with cubic zirconia accents to catch the eye.

7. A Roomy Tote In Dressed-Up Denim

Casual but never dressed down, the Spade Flower Jacquard denim tote will become her daily go-to. The Spade Flower pattern is a brand signature woven in Italy and updated for the new season in a wearable blue jean fabric with luxe leather trim, so she can take it absolutely anywhere. It’s relaxed enough to run errands but not too unbuttoned to carry a 13-inch laptop into the office, with plenty of interior pockets and an optional crossbody strap to shoulder the heaviest loads.

8. These Triple-Decker Stud Earrings With Tiny Pearls

It’s not often that stud earrings draw attention to themselves, but these certainly will. Made to hang vertically, they give the impression of short drop earrings while remaining practical. Gold-toned letter “M’s” bracket a gleaming faux pearl to spell out one of her nearest and dearest title, while surgical steel posts ensure that even sensitive types can wear these earrings all day.
