Did you Know? Kate Spade in 1994
Kate Spade: Considered naming the brand “Olive” and “Alex Noel” but after much thought Kate Brosnahah designed to take her finance’s last name, Spade.
In 1994, just one year after the birth of Kate Spade designer handbags (at the time Kate Brosnahah & Andy Spade), Kate along with her team sold their first batch of Kate Spade signature nylon designer handbags to Barneys, while at the same time working with Todd Oldham to design the handbags for his runway show.
Also in 1994 Kate and Andy get married.

Uhck, I hate the nylon bags. I cannot believe they were such a success.
I remember how popular the nylon bags were when I was in High School and how badly I wanted to have one of those rectangular totes. Today I have a fantastic pink and green leather wallet. If I were to get one of her classics today I think I’d go for the messenger bag. I really love her shoes, but I hear that they aren’t very comfy.
I did like the nylon bags. very durable and perfect for school.. however there are so many fakes floating around out there, so that its impossible for anyone to tell the difference :(
