'Tis the season for shopping in style—and leave it to Kate Spade New York to set the chicest scene for the occasion. On Friday, Dec. 13, influencers and A-listers pulled up to a secret holiday gifting event at the Kate Spade New York Rockefeller Center flagship boutique (located just steps away from the iconic tree), and to say it was an evening for the books would be an understatement. The glittering guest list included the likes of Taylor Quitara, Chase Marie Wise, Amani Richardson, Liv Reese and none other than Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Madison Beer, who stars in the brand's 'You’re It, Girl' Holiday 2024 campaign alongside a slew of stylish besties.

A celebration of fashion and friendship, the "The Best Gift of All" event offered an immersive shopping experience that brought attendees and their best friends together to experience some holiday magic, starting with a personalized letter upon arrival that highlighted everything that makes them unique. Amidst a backdrop of grandiose bows and lively tunes (courtesy of cool-girl DJ, Isan Elba), guests perused the brand's winter 2024 offerings, including the stunning range of pieces featured in the new Deco handbag collection. (Personally, I'm drooling over this pebbled leather hobo tote and slouchy convertible crossbody from the line, but I digress.) 

In addition to a custom gift-wrapping station to give all their presents a picture-perfect presentation, attendees were treated to personal color analysis sessions by Ari Cho of ari/rang Color Studio—a gift that'll keep on giving, if you ask me.

Beer stepped out in a black sequin dress paired with Kate Spade New York's double-breasted wool coat and the brand's Renata Mary Jane ballet flats to mingle with friends and share her favorite holiday gifting picks with guests. 

But it was her Deco quilted glitter suede chain shoulder bag ($398)—a standout piece from the Deco collection—that had everyone totally mesmerized. Boasting a sparkly suede finish and metallic accents, the posh purse may be the perfect item to treat yourself (or your bestie) to this holiday season.

But there's a lot more where that came from—in fact, the holiday 2024 collection includes nearly 30 gifting categories! So, whether you want to shop for trendy and timeless handbags, footwear, outerwear or accessories, I suggest you follow in these fashionistas' footsteps and head to Kate Spade New York's Rockefeller Center store for your own shopping extravaganza (with your bestie by your side, of course).
