Reddit mentions of AK Anne Klein Women's Coldfeet Leather Riding Boot, Black/Cognac, 10.5 M US

I've been looking at leather bags and the Kate Spade Jackson Street Quincy hobo looks nice (https://www.katespade.com/products/jackson-street-quincy/PXRU9421.html) though it costs close to $280 tax included. I prefer pink but it goes with less outfits. If the leather is as dark as in their site as opposed to Nordstrom's where it the lighting makes it look like dark grey, I like the dark leather contrasted by the gold lettering and zipper. There seems to be conflicting opinions on how Kate Spade purses are these days and it's more confusing with the recent acquisition of Kate Spade. Nicole Glass said she's looking to improve the quality of the leather, and I'm assuming that means the 2019 stuff is supposed to be better? The main bag I like in 2019 collection is Margaux Satchel (https://www.katespade.com/products/margaux-medium-satchel/PXRUA161.html) though it looks more plain. I do like the look of the inside more on this one. I prefer the aesthetic of Kate Spade things, even if people tend to say Coach has better quality leather.

​

Anyone know any other brand that has an aesthetic like Kate Spade? I know of Liebeskind, but their designs tend to be too plain for me. Madewell's tote is well known but I'm not really looking for a tote. I'd like to be able to fit Time magazine rolled up (10.5 in length) if I have to go to the DMV or something, but I'm not carrying laptops and groceries in it. Really prefer to keep things below $500, ideally $300. I'm going to go to a Kate Spade store next week to see how the leather feels to my hand.

Also, looking for comfy leather riding boots that look like these in size 10.5/11:
