美國設計師 Kate Spade 於紐約時間的 6 月 5 日被發現自殺身亡（詳文請看這裡），消息震撼時尚界。提起她所創立的同名品牌 Kate Spade，大家馬上想到的一定是手袋，Kate Spade 本人更曾於有「美國時尚界奧斯卡」之稱的 CFDA 頒獎禮中奪得「最佳手袋配件設計師」的獎項。她所設計的手袋用色鮮明大膽，代表著女孩們內心對未來的美好憧憬和無懼，就如常常掛著笑容的她一樣予人一種快樂的感覺。

作為一個「輕奢侈品牌」，它的手袋價格是名牌手袋中的入門級，不少 20 歲出頭的女生踏入社會成為白領一族後，想入手人生中的第一個名牌包包都會考慮 Kate Spade。因此不少女生對品牌都會有種情意結，知道 Kate Spade 離世後，在 Twitter 上悼念外，也紛紛分享了自己與 Kate Spade 手袋的故事。就連美國前總統克林頓女兒 Chelsea Clinton 也說：「我讀大學時，祖母送給我人生中的第一個 Kate Spade 手袋，至今我仍然保存它。」以下就是網民們「第一個 Kate Spade 手袋」的故事，或者也會引起你的共鳴。

My grandmother gave me my first Kate Spade bag when I was in college. I still have it. Holding Kate’s family, friends and loved ones in my heart.

Kate Spade was one of those rare designers who held up from preadolescence to adulthood, probably by making me feel smart & confident in a way no other brands did. What a loss.

I remember my mom bought me my first Kate Spade bag. A few years later I handed it down to my twin sister & now she wears it everyday to work #rememberingkatespade 💔

I really am so sad about Kate Spade. Her designs have been symbols of confidence and independence for so many women. I bought the 25th Anniversary Sam purse last month as a 25th birthday present for myself. Rest In Peace, Kate ♠️ pic.twitter.com/mzYPeD3l6H

I have vivid memories of walking the nordstroms bag department when I was young with mom, and being enamored by the boxy mordern bags with the little black Kate Spade woven label. Her work then in part inspired me to get where I am today. What a an immense talent to loose.

I remember in senior year of high school I saved up for months to buy myself a kate spade wallet. I remember feeling so mature and sophisticated, like I was finally ready to take on the world.

The first gift my husband ever gave me was a Kate Spade bag that I had been coveting. I’ve always been drawn to the whimsy and fun culture of the brand. Another reminder that the light does not exist without an equal amount of dark. 💔

nobody on Earth did Wacky Aunt novelty bags/flats like Kate Spade. So fun and full of joy. Every time I wear or carry something of hers, people stop me to ask about it, because her work is like a beam of silly fun light in this often dreary world. I hope she has found peace ❤️

When I got my first Kate Spade purse for Christmas one year, I carried that blue purse everywhere I went b/c it made me like I was a sophisticated, chic, classy lady living my dream in New York City. Kate Spade empowered girls to dream & to find a little magic in everything💓

This is so sad. I remember growing up in the 90s and looking at Kate Spade bags with my friends.

I always carry gold Kate Spade pens with me. May she rest in peace.

I took my first Kate Spade bags when I studied abroad in London and wore her dress and shoes at my college graduation. RIP to a true icon.

Ask a girl about her first Kate Spade bag and she'll have so many wonderful things to tell you. She was a female entrepreneurial force to be reckoned with; a real inspiration.

She was so loved & so are you. You aren't alone.
