Kate Spade launched its lower price point line "Saturday" today. The prices and design sensibility seem similar to the other "younger sibling" lines- J Crew/ Madewell, Banana Republic/ Gap, Williams-Sonoma/ West Elm etc. The new line is a clothing/ accessory/ decor line- with a hint of Anthropologie. The initial stores opened in Tokyo in March, and the online store for US customers is open now.
I'm less sure about these.
In the immortal words of Dorothy Parker- "Wear a short enough dress and the party will come to you."
I was a little surprised that I actually like some of the pieces, and the fabrics seemed nice, although by and large nothing really turned my head. I'm still not sure why Kate Spade ,which seems to be suffering through an identity crisis, ever since Kate Spade sold the company, needs a secondary line. Some of these items almost seem more sophisticated than the pieces in the regular collection. What do you think- does anything capture your fancy?
