Kate Spade Avaline Sunglasses

Kate Spade New York is the namesake brand of Kate Brosnahan Spade, a former accessories editor for Mademoiselle. In 1991, Kate left Mademoiselle to pursue her own own idea..the quest to design the perfect handbag. With an artistic vision that combined sleek shapes and a unique eye for color, Spade set out to conquer the world. Spade had no formal training and would work with large sheets of paper in order to create the now famous designs.  Regular women and fashion editors alike fell for her fresh approach. In 1996 the first Kate Spade shop opened in New York City's So Ho.  She was also awarded the Council of Fashion Designers of America awarded Spade the New Fashion Talent in Accessories Prize. Two years later, Spade won Best Accessory Designer of the Year.  Since then, the company grew to encompass not only handbags, but also stationery, shoes, beauty products, eyewear and a full women's clothing line. Kate Spade New York also has a complementary brand geared exclusively towards men, named Jack Spade. Jack Spade, a fictional name, was founded by Andy Spade, Kate Spade's husband. The two brands were brought to life simultaneously by the husband and wife power-couple in 1993.  The Kate Spade brand supports women who inspire to be independent, creative, and understood.  As a result, the Kate Spade New York Foundation sponsors grants and donates over $1 million annually to women's causes in New York City and beyond.
