n 1993, Kate Spade launched her brand with the vision of creating simple, sophisticated and sensible handbags. With the notion of combining unique fabrics with refreshing styles, Kate Spade engendered a new concept of design in the handbag market: the modern classic. The inspiration for Kate Spade New York handbags can not be found in up-to-the-minute trends, but rather in the timeless antiquity of definitive classics. Although the roots of Kate Spade New York handbags can be traced back to their original nylon tote, new silhouettes tantalize the senses with fine leathers and textiles such as luxe haircalf, rich jacquards and stunning exotic embossing.
