Having passed at the age of 55 in her Manhattan apartment, Kate Spade’s legacy in the fashion industry is an impactful one that will live on.

Kate Spade is known for her iconinc bag that was created back in the 90`s called the SAM BAG - a glossy black nylonon little boxy bag with the tag and the name “Kate Spade New York” in white lettering affixed at the front. The sophisticated yet affordable (US$150 and US$450)  aspirational, yet attainable bag made it  a huge success as it became a bag that every woman, even for teenage girls - being able to taste luxury. 

Kate Spade was also a brand that used the [NYLON] material to create a bag for the first time ever back in 2015 -marking Kate Spade as one of the pioneering designers who made the versatile fabrication chic and trendy - provoking other brands to start using the material. 

Models such as Karlie Kloss, Jordan Dunn and Alisan Henry Vann represented the brand - making it a truly female powered and fun bubbly brand. 
We are sending a lot of prayers to her family - she was a true iconinc leader in the fashion industry.
