3. It all started back in 1993, when Kate Brosnahan Spade, a former accessories editor at
mademoiselle, set out to design the perfect handbag. Debuting with just six silhouettes, she
combined sleek, utilitarian shapes and colorful palettes in an entirely new way. And so kate
spade new york was born.
Women and fashion editors fell for the fresh, modern sensibility, and our first shop in New York
City swiftly opened in 1996. As the company grew, our graphic approach and trademark wit
created a visual shorthand for a brand that is now recognizable all over the world.
In 2007 Deborah Lloyd took the helm of the powerhouse kate spade & company, as President
and Chief Creative Officer with an aim to broaden the line while honoring our rich history. Along
with CEO Craig Leavitt, she quickly launched clothing and jewelry collections, followed by the
introduction of bedding, legwear and fragrance.
Today we’ve grown into a global lifestyle brand, and we aim to inspire colorful living through our
handbags and clothing to jewelry, shoes, stationery, eyewear, baby, fragrance, tabletop,
bedding and gifts.
All the while, we’ve never lost sight of who we are: our spirited approach, commitment to
curiosity and passion for sharing our colorful world still shapes all that is kate spade new york.
