Our entire office and staff have been remembering Kate Spade today. She was truly an inspiration to all young women looking to find their place in the world. She paved the way for women founders with her unconventional approach to the often buttoned up and stuffy world of fashion. Each of us has our own Kate Spade story, whether it's the first Kate Spade bag we blew an entire paycheck on, a quote on a pencil case that made us smile when we were having a bad day or a pop of purple on a dress that made us remember whimsy and fun can exist in fashion.
