Una, I didn't see the original Kate Spade you were interested in, so I can't comment on that. Of the bags you posted, I don't really love the styles of most, although I do really like the first bag. However, I would be reluctant to purchase from China, particularly because of questions in the past about what materials are used in some of their bags and clothing.
I have no idea if you would be interested, but figured I should mention it. I have a brand new Kate Spade red bag that I purchased a few years ago (the tags are still on it!). However, I ended up getting another red purse when I stopped buying leather, and I never wore this Kate Spade. I keep meaning to put it up on eBay or selling it in some other way, but if you are interested, I would be happy to sell it to you. Unfortunately, it was expensive so I can't give it away, but I would obviously give you a very good discount. No idea if it is the style or size you would like. The first attached photo shows the color of the bag, but it is matte and not shiny like that at all (it's just glare from the flash on my camera). The second photo is not representative of the color (no flash this time), but it does show what the texture of the bag looks like.
