Kate Spade Saturday

Kate Spade Saturday was a lower-priced related fashion brand developed inside the Kate Spade corporate group. It launched first in Japan in 2012 and expanded into the United States in 2013, combining clothing, bags and accessories with a younger weekend-oriented identity. Corporate filings treated KATE SPADE SATURDAY as a separate brand and trademark alongside Kate Spade New York and Jack Spade.

Kate Spade & Company announced on 29 January 2015 that Saturday would cease as a standalone business as investment concentrated on Kate Spade New York. Its stores and wholesale operations were wound down during the first half of 2015, while selected ideas and customer learnings were folded into the main brand. The standalone label therefore ended in 2015.

Saturday took the colour, graphic directness and approachable polish associated with Kate Spade into a more casual, lower-priced wardrobe. The label was conceived around weekend dressing, with easy separates, bags and accessories carrying a brisk visual language suited to younger customers and faster retail turnover.

Its short life made experimentation part of its identity. Stores, digital retail and product operated as a distinct proposition, while the parent company later retained selected lessons from Saturday when consolidating attention around Kate Spade New York. The brand’s legacy is therefore tied to a focused attempt to broaden the Kate Spade audience through a separate casual label.
