Kate Spade

History Of Kate Spade

Kate Spade New York was founded in January 1993 by Kate Spade and Andy Spade. Kate, a former accessories editor at Mademoiselle magazine, was frustrated by the lack of stylish yet practical handbags available at the time. Determined to fill this gap, she designed six utilitarian, sleek handbags, which quickly garnered attention for their sophisticated yet playful designs. With the company’s growth, Kate Spade expanded into other product categories including clothing, shoes, jewelry, fragrance, and home goods. In 1999, Neiman Marcus Group purchased a 56% stake in Kate Spade for $34 million. The brand has eventually become synonymous with a lifestyle that offers a personal style with a dash of New York City chic. Over the years, Kate Spade New York has continually embraced evolving fashion trends while preserving its unique aesthetic.
