Last week, Coach announced its $2.4 billion acquisition of competing handbag and accessories brand, Kate Spade. Preppy with a twist (their novelty shop includes 32 cactus-themed products, like the quirky bag featured above), Kate Spade’s products are fun, light, and pleasing to the eye. 

Because I’m a huge fan of Kate Spade (their holographic coin wallet is holding my most important cards as I write), I thought I’d take a moment to browse their online store and find you the best picks PC (Pre-Coach).

 So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the collection of cute meets zany-in-a-Zooey-Deschanel-kind-of-way products!

Kate Spade products (clockwise from top left): 1. Cardholder | 2. I.D. holder | 3. Kitchenware set | 4. Purse sprays

1. Featuring a conventionally attractive floral pattern, leather trimming, and slots big enough for your three most important cards — what more could you want? — Kate Spade’s tiny Bayard Place cardholder delivers. The only question is, will you buy it?

2. Shakespeare fans will be happy to know that this Much Ado About Nothing I.D. holder comes with an iconic quote on the back (Benedick’s “I do love nothing in the world as well as you — is that not strange?”). Kate Spade fans will marvel at the gold plated metal and imported details.

3. This 3-piece kitchenware set calls to mind the very essence of Kate Spade: sparkly, classy, and an instrument of “colorful living.” Not only is the potholder’s “Eat cake for breakfast” a message we all can stand by, but the potholder’s accompanying friends, the oven mitt and kitchen towel, are equally sweet as well!

4. Exclusively available to U.S. shoppers, this purse spray coffret bottles up two delicious scents: Kate Spade’s Live Colorfully and Walk on Air. Awaken your senses with fresh top notes of clementine, linden blossom, and Sicilian lemon!
