Jack Spade debuted in 1996 as a line of men’s bags: durable, utilitarian, waxed-fabric and heavy canvas messenger bags that both trendsetters and utility workers could appreciate. Launched from a downtown NYC loft by fashion power couple Andy and Kate Spade, the label has since evolved into a full-fledged collection of Americana-inspired menswear and accessories — including leather shoes and boots, bags and wallets, neckties, iPhone covers, and iPad cases. Versatility remains one of the label’s trademark characteristics: From herringbone jersey knit accordion briefcases to easy-to-wash ties embroidered with tiny beer mugs, Jack Spade’s accessories are as functional as they are fashionable.
