Kate Spade & Jack Spade

This week, I would like to talk about Kate Spade. Not sure if everyone knows about this brand but its very famous in Europe areas.

This brand was founded by Kate and Andy Spade who are now husband and wife. Its first boutique was set up in  New York,1993.

Ladies should really take a good look in their boutique. The reason why I'm saying this is that, they have really nice products. You may just come across a thing or two that you really like.

I came across this brand while I was in my secondary school days. It captured my attention due to its vibrant colors.  This brand is very daring and innovative in its designs and colors used. Due to these factors, Kate Spade became widely known in New York and started advancing into the global market.

Well, if you were to take a walk in orchard areas, you probably would see many working adults carrying Kate Spade's monogram handbags, because its designs are very fresh and yet its suitable for formal places like a workplace.

The prices of Kate Spade products are not so extreme compared to the previous brands that I've mentioned, for handbags. It mainly starts from S$400/+ that may be another reason why some working adults choose to get Kate Spade products as they're at an affordable range and yet its designs are modern.

For readers out there who have no idea where the boutique is located, it is located in the 1st level of Raffles City Centre(City Hall).

Male readers, please do not feel any despair, Kate Spade has a Male series too! However the name is not named "Kate Spade" because, the name has already suggested that it's for females (:

For male collections, it is actually named Jack Spade. This is personally, one of my hot favourite brands because of its sleek and modern design for male accessories. However, guys, I'm warning you in advance, please do not walk into the Kate Spade boutique and ask why they do not sell Jack Space products. I've tried it and was embarassing enough.

I regret to inform you that Jack Spade has no boutiques in Singapore, BUT, there's a boutique in wheelock place named "Cumulus" that sells limited Jack Spade products! Be Sure to drop by there and have a look (:

Prada

 

Prada. The name signifies style and luxury. The House of Prada is recognized worldwide for its simple and elegant fashion line creations. Prada was given its name due to its founder, Mario Prada.

As of what I know, Prada is mainly known for its simple, sleek and black nylon bags for both female and male collections since it started. Due to its signature black nylon bags, it pushed Prada to the higher end of the industry hierarchy.


I personally prefer the black nylon bags from Prada because after all, its their signature bags. Those bags are very durable and practical. On top of that, BLACK is never out of sync with fashion! Whether now or ten years down the road, black will never be outdated.


Another reason why I like the black nylon bags from Prada is also because of their designs. Its very classic whether for formal or semi-casual, it fits the way you dress perfectly!(well, of course, you don't dress up in singlets and boxers when you go out) It's so easy to match what you wear because its black! Lovely, isn't it?

The price tag it contains may also cost a burn in our wallets. Costly, it may seem, but to me, I would think it's worth it for its quality. Something that would be worth your bucks as the saying goes:


It's the money you pay for the quality you get!
