In 1993, Kate Spade entered the accessories world with six handbags that emphasized utility, color and fabric.

Since then, she has taken her simple aesthetic and evolved the idea into a luxury accessory brand.

Clean, modern shapes, a nod to the classics, sophisticated use of color, and an element of surprise are the fundamental principles of the Kate Spade design philosophy.

Kate believes that accessories should bring color and texture to an everyday wardrobe based on each individual's sense of style.

Her primary design considerations are elegance, simplicity, and enduring quality, and this philosophy applies to all accessories that Kate designs -- from handbags, shoes, and glasses to paper, beauty and home products.

 This design inspiration is complemented by a company culture that places  great value on a genuine and gracious manner in all relationships and communications.

Eyewear Collection:

The Kate Spade glasses collection draws upon the colors, accents, and design concepts found in other Kate Spade product categories.

Frames  are offered in a variety of flattering feminine shapes and colors.

Temple treatments feature Kate Spade signature stripes and patterns from  the handbag collection, including the 'luggage stripe' and 'noel mark'.

The Kate Spade logo, KS mark and a new logo plaque are used on the outer temple.  Each frame comes with a micro-fiber, mocha-colored cleaning cloth, as well as a black, pink or green snap-closure case lines with signature fabric.
