Kate Spade

Kate Spade Brand We released our first six handbag essentials in 1993, creating a brand that embodies optimistic femininity. Now, we're a worldwide style and life house, bursting with handbags but also clothes. Shoes, jewelry, accessories for tech, and home décor are just a few of the items you'll use every day. Small details matter. Polished elegance looks and feels refined. These are the guiding principles of our style. We cherish that delight is a part of every Kate Spade New York piece. Kate Brosnahan Spade, a former mademoiselle accessories editor, was frustrated that she couldn't find the stylish, functional handbag she was looking for. She began designing the perfect one from her home. She used construction paper to create sample styles at first. She combined modern shapes with vivid colors in an entirely new way, creating six different versions of her new bag, Sam. Fashion editors and women adored the design, and it sparked a revolution in accessory design.
