Vintage Kate Spade 90's black nylon Sam box tote shoulder bag

Reposhing this item I purchased from @ksmmm3. Loved it, but ready to rotate for something new. The item remains brand new and looks exactly the same as shown in photos. History behind this iconic piece: “One of Spade’s most famous piece from the ‘90s is the Sam bag, which has a boxy silhouette varnished in black glossy nylon with a little black tag and the name ‘Kate Spade New York’ in white lettering affixed at the front. Back then in its heyday, the Sam bag was an “it” bag which every woman — and teenage girl — wanted. Priced between US$150 and US$450 in the noughties, the sophisticated and grown up-looking bag was aspirational, yet attainable for teenage girls who wanted a taste of luxury. Working women desired them as a status symbol, a mark of professional accomplishment. What’s truly revolutionary about the bag is the use of the material nylon. In 2015, Spade’s husband and the brand’s co-owner Andy Spade told WWD, ‘We were the first in America to work with nylon. We got lucky.’ Today, we see plenty of handbags and apparels in nylon, marking Kate Spade as one of the pioneering designers who made the versatile fabrication chic.” Get this historical bag for yourself now!
