In 1993, Kate and Andy Space launched the American fashion brand Kate Spade New York. The company is known for its famous high quality and affordable handbags. The label quickly expanded to clothing, jewellery, shoes, eyewear, accessories, fragrances and homeware.
In 1996, the Kate Spade brand opened its first boutique in New York. The business was sold to Neiman Marcus in 1999 and then to Liz Claiborne in 2006, after which the Spades left the business.
The company was purchased by Coach in May 2017 and is now part of Tapestry, Inc.
