WHAT'S IN A NAME?
A little bit of love. A little bit of me.
After graduating with a business degree, then spending years trend forecasting, managing production and ultimately heading product for Laura Ashley Australia/New Zealand, I was ready for new horizons — and calmer waters.
Instead of “working for the man”, I decided to throw my hat in the ring and start something special myself.
And so love Kate went from concept to creation.
Dream to reality.
So, why the name love Kate?
It's easy to say.
Easy to spell.
Eight letters. Lucky, they say.
But really, it's because it's me. Heart and soul.
From me to you.
love Kate.
The name is a sign-off. A little personal promise.
The things I wanted to create were a reflection of what I value: quality natural fibres, clean modern styling, flattering tones, superior workmanship, fabulous people and thoughtful design — wherever possible, grace with a grin.
Smart accessories with purpose, style and longevity.
Simple objects. Done exceptionally well.
Accessories doing what they should.
And, importantly, things made to look good and be enjoyed.
By people with good taste.
Good hearts.
And a sense of humour.
And yes, I do love love.
The romance of it.
The exuberance.
The positivity.
The idea of loving and being loved.
It seemed very fitting.
Because love is where so many great things begin.
Love. The start.
The very beginning.
From me to you.
love Kate
