Kate Spade Kate Spade, dead at age 55 of an apparent suicide

I just overheard a co-worker and I thought she was wrong!! Wow. I remember a line from a Kanye West song, "The people highest up have the lowest self-esteem." May she RIP.

RIP. So sad to read this. I loved her black nylon totes! They were "it" back in the day! I still use a couple of her leather made in Italy bags with the suede interiors. Such well made bags & easy to care for.

So sad, remembered when she first came out with the nylon box looking purse around ‘95 and it was such a hit. Sad to know that she passed away —- by hanging with a scarf on a door handle. I can’t imagine the choking and pain. Reminds me of that designer that passed away also years ago.

It was L'Wrenn Scott. She was the longtime girlfriend of Mick Jagger.

Incredibly sad, the loneliness and pain that lead her to end her life.

RIP Kate...

This is so sad. I have a half-dozen Kate Spade bags in my closet. She leaves behind a legacy of colorful whimsical style. I’ll have to pull my favorite one out and carry it in her honor.

On her birthday...55 today. Her daughter is 13.

It is not her birthday today. She was born in
December.

Great idea! Lets all carry our Kate bags in honor. So sad, what a creative woman she was!

RIP Kate Spade.
The Kate Spade bags were so it and then the accessories, everyone loved them.
I had 3 daily planners that I rotated. The inserts were chic and beautiful.
Again, rest in peace to this lady.

RIP!!! So tragic!

May her family, especially her young daughter, have strength in this difficult time.

I have a good number of her items! I will think of her fondly when I use them.

Very odd but today I was going thru my different little purses to use to run errands and I chose Kate spade. For all of us that still has Kate spade handbags let’s wear them today in this lady’s honor. Truthfully she was my first venture out to designer stuff in the 90’s.
