During her tenure, she observed a gap in the market for stylish, affordable, practical handbags and decided to design her own. Using scotch tape and paper, Spade created six prototypes and partnered with a manufacturer in East New York, Brooklyn, to produce them. She launched her handbag line in 1993 and opened her first store in 1998. Her debut collection featured six silhouettes, showcasing a unique blend of sleek, utilitarian shapes and vibrant colors.
