Kate Spade Handbags

Kate Spade was the collaboration of fashion-minded editor Katherine Noel Brosnahan and then boyfriend (now husband) Andy Spade, late one night in Provincetown. The melding of Kate's first name and Andy's last name was used to form world-renowned fashion house Kate Spade designs. Kate's background as an accessories editor with Mademoiselle Magazine and Andy's know-how as a creative director at an advertising company quickly let the duo identify what was lacking in the handbag market and introduce a simple, silhouetted handbag.

Kate once said of the handbag "for me, nothing beats a practical, elegant tote.it will never be dated." Evidently Kate was bang on with her design, so much so that every woman in the world was soon itching to get their hands on an authentic Kate Spade designer bag.

Today, the Kate Spade designer line of purses and handbags include styles like the evening bag, clutch, tote, shoulder bag, closed top bag and the open top bag.

Kate lends us some of her favorite Kate Spade creations, which are:

Alexander Girard Jadyn - featuring the custom designed sun print artwork by artist Alexander Girard printed on fine cotton white canvas, with a bright pink and yellow sun. The Jadyn tote design features double shoulder straps and open top access for $225 online.

Seville Leather Tony - in pink, white or natural is trimmed in fine Italian leather with bow detailing and the signature embossed Kate Spade logo. The Tony tote has double shoulder straps and magnetic closure for $445 online.

Basel Small Marina - brings to mind a classic image of Audrey Hepburn wrapped in glorious leopard fur. The basil is made of faux leopard fabric and is accented by Kate Spade gold hardware and snake embossed leather handles for $195 online.

Satin Evening Mini Amanda - can feel pink, green or black as long as it's wrapped in silk. This haute 100% Italian silk bag is trimmed in leather and features a Swarovski crystal bangle handle and sateen lining for $495 online.
