Kate Spade
In 1986, Spade worked in the accessories department of Mademoiselle in Manhattan. She left Mademoiselle in 1991, with the title of senior
fashion editor/head of accessories. While working for Mademoiselle she noticed that the market lacked stylish and sensible handbags, so
decided to create her own. With this in mind, Kate browsed local flea markets, began researching different styles, fabrics, production costs,
and created a line of handbags with classic shapes, playful colors, and fabrics. She launched her New York-based design company "kate
spade handbags" in January 1993.
in 1996, the council of fashion designers of america (cfda) honored Kate's classic designs by awarding her america's new fashion talent in
accessories. Kate was honored once again by the cfda in 1998, as best accessory designer of the year. in 1999, Kate was honored when
her handbags were exhibited at the cooper hewitt museum for the first national design triennial, celebrating american design excellence,
and for her new home collection, Kate was presented with three prestigious design awards. .
