I recognize the brand name. A shame and yet another example of money and fame alone can't make you happy.

Kate Spade is a huge name

Not to a statistically significant portion of the population.

I'd argue that she's not even large enough in the fashion world to really transcend it the way some designers have.

I can't tell if guys feel emasculated by admitting to knowing who Kate Spade is, or if it's a weird Gamergate joke I'm not getting, but either way, "literally who" isn't making any of you look good.

Tell me how anybody who knows nothing about fashion would know who she was.

It can't be both, you don't have a valuable name if you're willing to change it to some randos.

By actually going outside and seeing the name at malls and clothing stores or dealing with women be it family, friends, work mates or strangers you see around. Not to be that guy and fall on stereotypes but it is gamefaqs, a site stereotyped as being full of neckbeards and anti-social people so makes sense so many here would be clueless about the brand and hide behind needing to be into fashion to know a brand like Kate Spade.

I see it fairly regularly just being out and about. I do live in the city so that could be why as handbags and fashion brands are everywhere.

Not everybody lives in the US either. The US is fairly insular, it's not surprising they wouldn't go international.

So it hasn't been around for that long yet TC expects this to be an international brand transcending its own audience?

I have heard of this brand.
That's a shame.

It's almost 25 years (an eternity for fashion) and yes it is well known internationally. i have seen that brand outside of the US. hard to never once see a kate spade bag or wallet if you go out in public. it's a high end brand that is easy as heck to spot and the embellishment on the bag says kate spade right on it. your lack of attention to detail about the world is really showing.

So because I don't look at ads for purses I'm automatically an anti-social neckbeard?

If you have at least decent vision you can't miss them. They only have giant signs everywhere and often are in the areas that have the same stores a man would be at for himself. Plus as a I said, if you actually deal with women you will commonly see them with the stuff and the brand flashed everywhere. Astounds me that there are people really that clueless about their surroundings or perhaps they really don't go out a lot/deal with women regularly...

Like I've never used a power tool in my life, but I've still heard of Bosch. It's not unfathomable for a guy to have at least heard of Kate Spade.

Same here with your Bosch example. Kate Spade's stuff is even advertised on common websites everybody uses as well as TV and everyday things. Even an antisocial person who doesn't get out a lot or deal with people are still commonly exposed to such brands. Even gamefaqs have ads for brands here. That's a level of cluelessness I don't know how to achieve and glad I never will.

Lmao shut the fuck up. I'm sorry I don't pay attention to ads for womens handbags. Apparently I should be reading Cosmo more instead of actually focusing on things that matter.

Get the fuck outta here.

You can't ignore something plastered in your face for years on end on a weekly basis even if you have 0 interest in it so that argument doesn't hold any weight. I have 0 interest in Kate Spade but still know of the name since I'm constantly surrounded by it to environment to the people I deal with in my life. You're just clueless. Obviously you're bothered being clueless hence being so defensive about it.

Typical gamefaqer when it comes to being in the know about everyday life really.

i'm totally cool guys i swear, i know fashion designers, am i cool now?

Uh-oh. Got the neckbeards of gamefaqs triggered since they obviously don't go outside and are social failures. Hence the whining and attacks at getting exposed when their arguments hold no weight xD

Gamefaqs also gets around various ad blockers, mine included. Without it there are more though.

How? Didn't you say you don't pay attention to it or ignore it in general so how would you know where it is and isn't? Also, a number of guys actually do pay attention to those things purposely since they know it's what their girlfriends/wives like.

It's sad how clueless you guys are about social life, women on any level and get so stupidly aggressive when you get exposed and shut down lol. Again, I have no interest in those things but because I'm actually aware of my surroundings and don't oppose the real world like you all obviously do, it's easy to comprehend the things in it.

I outgrew this site long ago given I was once like you guys but I still stay here out of habit and also because most gamefaqers being like this is amusing even if sad :P

No normal person goes to the mall that often.

If you work in the city where a mall is and it's connected to other buildings or well worked in one, you have to travel through one or AROUND one constantly since the adds and brands will be advertised in the vicinity even outside the mall. Literally the case for me as it's everywhere around the mall, the shoppers are in the area and I once worked in a startup that is at the top of a mall.

Literally what normal people do everyday. No normal person is this clueless. You're not normal so matches up! It's amazing how you think of only your own personal life and act like it's the only example that applies to everyone. Cluelessness about life alert :P

Anyway, I'm done with you all. Clueless people this being defensive over the truth and bothered heavily by it will never comprehend normal life since they live lives most people don't consider normal.

Tl;dr There's no valid excuse why most people wouldn't know that name in this country. You're just clueless and refuse to own to it :P
