American accessories designer Kate Spade is both the epitome
and antithesis of the all-American girl.
There
is something charmingly familiar, yet wonderfully original about Kate. She
brings sophistication and wit to her designs and the gracious spirit of her
company clearly reflects Kate's appreciation for propriety and her
vibrant
sense of humor.
While a senior accessories editor at Mademoiselle Magazine, Kate was
always searching for the quintessential personal accessories.
Not finding many to suit her own personal style, Kate struck out on her own.
With then-boyfriend, now-husband, Andy Spade, Kate founded "kate spade handbags"
in 1993. They identified a void in the market, took a risk, and Kate designed
six simple silhouettes that emphasized color, fabric, utility, and a keen sense
of personal style.
The company has continued to grow as Kate brings her
wonderful sensibility to a unique array of items. Her affection for the
photographs prompted her to launch kate spade photo and stationery in 1998.
Nearly every year since has brought an exciting new addition to the world of
kate spade.
Kate Spade quietly revolutionized the personal leather market
with her clean design aesthetic and is now celebrated as America's most beloved
and honored accessories designer. SendAFrame is proud to feature her
exclusive Photo Accessories Collection in its entirety for your shopping
pleasure.
