The Kate Spade empire annexes more territory with Kate Spade Baby (59 Thompson St., nr. Broome St.; 212-965-8654), a pint-size candyland of cute clothes for little ones. In store are sweet wrap tunics from the house label as well as onesies from the highly touted Marie Chantal line, baby tableware, and, of course, carriers.

And two other well-known brands have moved to bigger and better locations: Slick men’s line John Varvatos shifted from Mercer Street (122 Spring St., nr. Greene St.; 212-965-0700), and Coach’s newly redesigned global flagship has reopened in the Fuller Building (595 Madison Ave., at 57th St.; 212-754-0041).
