The Kate Spade accessories company, best known for fabric handbags, will bring its distinctive preppy-with-a-passion stripes and prints to fabrics, wallpaper, plates and sheets.

The $70 million company (56 percent owned by Neiman Marcus), has licensed the founder's name to Scalamandré, the high-end fabric manufacturer. Lenox will make the fine, transitional and casual collections of china, and Springs Industries will produce a line for both bedroom and bathroom.

“I have always loved accents, whether a bag, a vase, a journal or a pillow,” Spade said in the announcement. “I have always found that personal style is best articulated through accessories.”
