Kate Spade will no longer design the bags that bear her name. The brand was sold to Liz Claiborne for $124 million last November and part of the contract was that she will sit in the designer chair for another 6 months. Well, 6 months have passed and it’s now time for her to leave the design team and just stay as members of the board for Liz Claiborne. We’ll see how the new bags turn out. I hope the new designer maintain the simple, classic yet stylish that we all have grown to love from Kate Spade.

    Oh, gw gak tau nih, Hanz. Menarik. Alasannya apa:
    1. Dia jual brandnya ke Liz (maksudnya apa sih jual di sini? Apa Kate Spade tetap mengeluarkan tas tapi Liz yg produksi?)
    2. Dia bersedia hanya menjadi desainer thok, dan hanya 6 bulan pulak?
    Thanks!

    oh no! :( (
    i LOVE kate spade!! not only for her bags, but also her passion and vision in design. to me, the plus point of kate spade is all of her designs are very personal. kalo company-nya di jual ke Liz Clairborne it might lose that personal touch, dong?
    duh, jadi sedih nih baca beritanya…:(((

    dundan $124 million bok..i’ll take early retirement for that much amount of money..:D.

    sebenernya sebelum di jual ke liz claiborne, kate spade juga di bawahi oleh neiman marcus group sih sekitar 50% nya gitu. jadi kate spade yang design tapi bagian management, exposure and business growth nya di urusin sama neiman marcus..sama di kasih suntikan dana lah pasti nya trus nanti profitnya di bagi, gitu. sekarang udah 100% di bawahnya liz claiborne, dan waktu itu perjanjiannya cuma 6 bulan dan sekarang nggak di perpanjang lagi, katanya sih mau take times away aja and enjoy some personal time. dia waktu itu nggak cuma nge design aja sih tapi juga punya control mau di bawa kemana brandnya ini walaupun nggak sepenuhnya. jadi beberapa bulan lagi tas tas yang kate spade yang baru udah nggak di design sama kate spade lagi deh. kasusnya sama kaya jimmy choo, sepatu sepatu nya juga udah bukan dia lagi yang desain.

    loucee huhu..i knew you would be sad lus..kan elo cinta banget ya sama kate spade. tapi palingan juga bentar lagi dia ada proyek baru lus.
