(Source: Saturday.com)WWD reported today that
Kate Spade & Co. will shutter both
Kate Spade Saturday and
Jack Spade stores in the coming months. Saturday will transition into being an extension of the Kate Spade brand and its 16 brick-and-mortar stores will close after the first quarter of this year.
The e-commerce site will remain open during this transition so we suggest you stock up before the brand's stylish, playful offerings are gone for good. We love the
Mini A Satchel ($165), this
cheeky iphone case ($25) and this
Side Zip Dress ($110).
Jack Spade's 12 stores will also close and the brand will focus on its e-commerce and brand partnerships.
WWD reports, "Craig A. Leavitt, chief executive officer of Kate Spade, said, 'We continue to focus on two axes of growth—geographic expansion and product category expansion. We are early in our journey as Kate Spade & Co., and we see a clear path to becoming a four billion dollar business at retail.'"
