“This campaign is a vibrant love letter to the friends who shape a girl’s life,” said Eva Erdmann, CEO and Brand President of kate spade new york. “Since joining the brand, we’ve been exploring new meaningful ways to connect with a younger audience. In a world where digital interactions often overshadow genuine connections, the profound bond of friendship becomes, more than ever, an indispensable anchor.
“kate spade new york’s latest campaign celebrates fierce friends: the ones who show up, have your back, and brighten the everyday. As Kate Spade herself once said, ‘A good friend is like the perfect handbag – always by your side, effortlessly lifting your spirit, and making every adventure a little more fabulous.’”
Starring Ice Spice – known for her fearless authenticity – and Charli D’Amelio – celebrated for her ability to resonate with her audience – kate spade new york’s latest campaign spotlights the Deco Chain Shoulder Bag in two new seasonal colourways. Set in a vibrant cityscape, the film captures the energy of Gen Z’s bold, fast-moving lives – and the fierce friends who carry them through it all. At the centre is Deco: a versatile essential that seamlessly transitions from day to night, casual to polished, proving one bag can do it all. From the post-breakup pep talker to the friend group unifier, the campaign celebrates those who show up, stand out, and make every moment count.
Erdmann continued, “We celebrate the many facets of friendship, honouring the unique qualities that make every friend group special. Like the friends who carry us, the Deco handbag from kate spade new york takes centre stage – symbolising simplicity, functionality, and versatility as the perfect companion to your life.”
“Growing up in New York, I’ve always been a fan of kate spade and their iconic designs. This campaign was exciting to me because it’s all about celebrating friendships,” says Ice Spice. “My friends mean everything to me – they keep me grounded, especially my sister and cousins. They’re the ones I call when I’m homesick, when I’m hyped, or when I just need to be reminded of who I am and where I came from.”
“I’m so excited to partner with kate spade new york,” says Charli D’Amelio. “I’ve loved the brand for years, especially how its modern designs allow me to express my own personal style. I think it’s really cool to see how this campaign celebrates the power of friendship and the joy it brings. It makes me think of the lifelong friendships I have that started as a child, growing up, going to school together, being in the same dance company, or new friends I’ve met through work or moving to new cities – I am so grateful to have had the amazing opportunity of forming friendships with new people along the way.”
The Deco handbag steps boldly into the spotlight, reimagined for the season in standout Spring/Summer colourways – Blue Multi Denim, Jungle Vine, Sweet Cream and Apricot Cream.
A modern expression of kate spade’s design DNA, Deco fuses clean lines, minimalist form, and effortless, everyday luxury. It’s made for the one who carries more than just her essentials – she carries her world, and often, everyone else’s too.
