Fashion designer Kate Spade died yesterday at the age of 55 leaving behind a bountiful legacy that’s so far-reaching it’s almost impossible to fully grasp. Her handbags became a rite of passage for a generation of women who yesterday paid homage on social media to her accessories that for many signified adulthood, their first "grown-up" handbag. Beyond her cheery shoes and witty clutches, Kate made an indelible mark on the fashion industry that still oscillates today. Kate — who sold her last share of the namesake company in 2006 — made one slick marketing move in the early 90s that has become ubiquitous across every tier of the fashion world. After working as an accessories editor at Mademoiselle magazine in the early 1990s, Kate, with her soon-to-be husband Andy Spade, sought to create a handbag line that was affordable, stylish, and unserious.

The late Kate Spade was best known for her designer handbags and couture. But she also had comedic chops she showed off while guesting on brother-in-law David Spade‘s sitcom, “Just Shoot Me.”
