what is kate spade?
kate spade was created because founding partners, kate brosnahan spade and andy spade, identified a void in the accessories market. the notion was to develop a well-edited line of fashionable, but not "trendy" handbags. by designing styles that will be as relevant tomorrow as they are today, kate spade has established itself as a modern classic. the bags consistently maintain a high level of quality at a palatable price.
design philosophy
mass, generic dressing isn't very interesting and playing the fashion game can be exhausting. in contrast, rooted in timelessness, not trend, kate spade exists in a world of its own. the original vision for the company was to create products that combined great personal style with long lasting utility. clean, modern shapes, a nod to the classics, and an element of surprise are the fundamental principles of the kate spade design philosophy. chief design considerations remain elegance, simplicity, and enduring quality. this philosophy applies to all accessories that kate designs - from handbags, shoes, and glasses to paper and beauty products.
