Books by kate spade new york
kate spade new york began in 1993, when Kate Brosnahan-a former accessories editor at Mademoiselle-set out to design the sleek, utilitarian handbag she'd always wanted but had never been able to find. Over time, the brand has expanded to include handbags, accessories, jewelry, shoes, apparel, eyewear, hosiery, tabletop, paper products, and perfume. In 2007, kate spade merged with Liz Claiborne, Inc. Deborah Lloyd, formerly of Banana Republic and Burberry, then took the helm as president and chief creative officer with an aim to broaden the line while honoring the brand's rich history.
