Overview
kate spade's story is one of simplicity, like the bags it peddles. Begun by designer Kate Spade and her husband, Andy, in 1993, signature kate spade bags were an instant success because of their uncomplicated design. Since then, the company has expanded into stationery, various functional bags (think diaper bags), and licensing -- with a line of homewares, including sheets, tablewares, and wallpaper, as well as beauty products, eyewear, and shoes. kate spade's products are distributed in Asia and sold in the US through about 25 of its own stores and in upscale department stores, including those of its previous owner, Neiman Marcus. Neiman's sold the company to Liz Claiborne for about $124 million.
