Kate Spade....any fans out there?

[marissk]

I actually really like the "made for outlet" line -- i love the wellesley line, and most of the stuff from that line is MFF.

I gotta agree with Morisa; the Wellesley link is one of the finest bags made by anyone. They are top quality and will indeed last forever.

Frankly, I like all of the lines in the outlets. I bought a couple bags there this summer and really like them. The Carmel Valley line sold out like hotcakes and is very well made.

Just about every designer makes likes specifically for their outlets. It's not about overstocks and seconds; it's about getting the brand in front of a wider audience. And if they happen to be on sale from time to time, that's great. My favorite day is when the Wellesleys go 40% off. YEAH!!

That happened in 2005 when she sold the company to Neiman-Marcus group. Deborah Lloyd is now the creative director. You think Mr. Gucci and Mr. Dior are still designing?? No...the brand lives on after the company is sold or the originators of the brand pass on.

love kate spade but feel like it's younger as my college age daughters are so crazy for her stuff! But it's beautiful.

Just bought my first KS bag today . It's a Brooklyn Heights Stevie in black. It looks to be of good quality leather and well made. Very classic looking bag. The best part...it was marked down to a little less than half price (retail-$398). Wish they would have had it in the beautiful Bluebelle color though. Oh well, it seems to be a very nice bag.

I have one KS bow bag and a pair of wellingtons. I love both, particularly the wellies...I get compliments on them all the time!!

And Lucky Brand. Isaac Mizrahi is going to run the world.

I guess I'm a little naive. a KS store opened in our mall. I was joking with the SA about the bags when she broke the news that KS is not the boss.
is it true her husband has started to design wallets?

 

[Murphy47]

Jack Spade has been designing things for years. And everyone has heard of their brother David.

 

[jacqvic]

well, not everyone (-;

 

[Murphy47]

Not really necessary
Kate or whomever still makes cute bags and that is the important part. Some are a little young but many styles are really classic. Stevie's are my fav.

Love some of her bags and clothes and most of her shoes.
