Don't you just love Kate Spade bags? They are simple but stylish. Kate Spade (wife of the brother of that comedian, you know, David) is the co-founder and the name behind the popular "Kate Spade New York" brand that has taken the department stores by storm. Although Kate Spade started designing only handbags, the company has expanded to include shoes, accessories, jewelry, eyewear, clothes and even fragrances.
After college Kate started working at Mademoiselle Magazine and worked her way up to Senior Fashion Editor/Head of Accessories. While working at the magazine she discovered that the fashion world was missing stylish and practical bags so she started to design her own, researched costs and went to her husband and partner and soon Kate Spade Handbags were born! Her idea to make practical bags stylish, appealed to many women who weren't interested in handbags with crazy designs.
Kate has become one of the most celebrated handbag designers in the business. She has been honored by The Council of Fashion Designers of America. Twice. Her handbags were shown at The Cooper Hewitt Museum and has won three prestigious design awards. Her bags can be found in any mall across the United States.
