Kate Spade Handbags

Kate Spade graduated from St. Teresa's Academy, an all-girl Catholic high school in Kansas City, Missouri. She attended the University of Kansas and then transferred to and graduated from Arizona State University where she majored in journalism and she also worked in a motorcycle bar, and is a member of the Omega chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

In 1986, Kate Spade worked in the accessories department of Mademoiselle Magazine in Manhattan, where she was credited in the magazine's masthead as Katy Brosnahan. While at Mademoiselle she lived with Andy Spade, her longtime boyfriend. Together, they were featured in the magazine as part of a photo story on couples and love.

She left Mademoiselle in 1991, with the title of senior fashion editor and head of accessories. While working for Mademoiselle she noticed that the market lacked stylish and sensible handbags, so decided to create her own. With this in mind, Kate browsed local flea markets, began researching different styles, fabrics, production costs, and created a line of handbags with classic shapes, colors, and fabrics.
