Katherine Noel Brosnahan, known professionally as Kate Spade or Kate Valentine, was an American fashion designer and businesswoman. She was the founder of the designer brand Kate Spade New York. She was an accessories editor at Mademoiselle magazine and founded her stylish handbag line in 1993, which quickly became popular and in demand. Her line expanded to include clothing, jewelry, shoes, stationery, eyewear, baby items, fragrances, tabletop, bedding and gifts. Her first flagship store opened in Manhattan's Soho district. She is the author of three books, "Manners", "Occasions",  and "Style". In 1998 she was honored by the CFDA as "Best Accessory Designer of the Year."

"our story begins in 1993 with a boxy, black nylon handbag called sam. we wanted something utilitarian and timeless--a bag that could go with everything from jeans to a cocktail dress. sam did, and women and fashion editors alike swooned. this year for our 25th anniversary, we brought back sam in a bevy of sizes, colors and prints (like this version, embellished with a geometric floral mosaic print) that you'll want to lovingly hold and gaze at for years to come."
