Kate Spade New York has brought its timeless style to the Yorkville area with a new two-level flagship store. Originally a handbag brand, Kate Spade New York has successfully transitioned to a full-on lifestyle brand, selling shoes, clothing and even beauty products.
The new location makes the most of its 4,000 square feet: it’s spacious, bright and artistic. Walls full of handbags display pieces such as the Grove Court Stripe Maise — which comes in either a turquoise or navy variation, matched with a nude stripe — while the square-shaped Battery Park City Evalyn handbag tantalizes in a bright orange colour.
On the second floor, a wall lined with shoes — including the sparkly Charm pumps — vies for customers’ eyes. As for clothes, those looking to make the transition from afternoon meetings to evening wear might be attracted to the Rhys dress, with a clean silhouette and a peekaboo detail at the top of the back.
For all the foot traffic that Yorkville attracts, Kate Spade New York certainly has the potential to become a centre of attention.
