New York City-based Kate Spade is a popular mid-priced designer label that features handbags and accessories, women's ready-to-wear, footwear, stationery and address books, fragrances, eyewear and a home collection. Given the company's variety of offerings, it has become referred to as a 'lifestyle accessories and fashion brand'. Kate Spade herself left the company in 2006 when she sold her shares of the company to Neiman Marcus, relinquishing creative control. The Kate Spade brand is now owned by Kate Spade & Company.
