FRANCES VALENTINE - We Might Just Make It After All: My Best Friendship with Kate Spade by Elyce Arons

The memoir We Might Just Make It After All: My Best Friendship with Kate Spade follows Elyce Arons and Katy Brosnahan from their serendipitous dorm-room meeting at the University of Kansas to launching a handbag empire in gritty 1990s New York. Through shared day jobs, cramped apartments, and late nights crafting the iconic Kate Spade bag, their bond flourished even as they built what would become a billion-dollar brand. Elyce unpacks the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, navigating the pressures facing women in a male-dominated industry, and celebrating the enduring strength of their friendship—even in the wake of Katy’s tragic death in 2018.
