Kate Spade Jax Key Case Appraisal

Kate Spade New York Cedar Street Jax Key Case in Geranium

This is a compact, tri-fold key case and small wallet manufactured by the designer brand Kate Spade New York. The exterior is crafted from high-quality 'Cedar Street' Saffiano leather, a cross-hatched textured leather known for its durability and resistance to scratches and water. The color is a vibrant shade of coral or bright red, often referred to by the brand as 'Geranium'. The front features a 14-karat light gold-plated metal plaque precisely engraved with 'kate spade NEW YORK' in their signature lower-case typeface. Structurally, the wallet utilizes a snap-flap closure and includes a gold-tone key ring attached to a chain on the side. The stitching is monochromatic, showing tight, even craftsmanship consistent with designer leather goods. In terms of condition, there is visible minor surface wear and small scratches on the gold-tone brand plate, and a slight darkening or patina along the bottom folded edge and corners. The Saffiano grain remains well-defined. This style was popularized in the mid-2010s as a functional, luxury everyday accessory intended for organizing keys while providing a small interior slot for cards and currency.
