JACK SPADE bags began in a warehouse on Warren Street in 1996. They grew out of an idea that bags, could be both utilitarian and stylish. They started using waxwear fabrics and heavy canvases to make a few bags for friends. Over time JACK SPADE bags took the feedback they received to make the correct changes and develop a line of straightforward shapes. JACK SPADE bags then thought to sell the bags in actual hardware stores to get the feedback from people who actually use utility bags. The first JACK SPADE bag was sold to a hardware store in 1997. Since then, the line has grown to include among other things, small goods. Today, JACK SPADE bags remain true to the idea of simple, purposeful design. Having taken feedback from the people who's opinions are most important, they have grown into a mega brand known by many. Their hope is your new JACK SPADE bag or Jack Spade wallet will serve you well on your trip to wherever you are going.
