The Company 

In 1993, Kate Spade New York began with just four people and six simple handbags. Almost twenty years later, our bright palettes, wearable shapes and sharp wit have remained hallmarks of everything Kate Spade New York. As we continue to expand, our brand’s adventurous spirit, strong sense of personal style and passion for reinventing the rules is evident in every category we enter, from accessories and ready-to-wear to home and beauty.

The Design 

Bold colors, statement-making silhouettes and plenty of clean, graphic designs are signatures of the brand, along with irreverent twists on classic stables and unexpected details. From a pair of blazing tangerine tights, to a skirt with a whimsical quip stitched inside or a clutch designed to look like a favourite book, Kate Spade New York’s colourful spirit imbues everything we design.
