Saw an article where her sister was quoted stating that she dealt with mental illness for years.

So sad. Very sad.

For all involved.

(Loved her stuff)

Yeah hard to believe it's suicide. No reason. Could be murder.

Just because someone's life looks idyllic from the outside, that doesn't mean that they aren't dealing with crippling depression.

I read somewhere she left a note for her daughter telling her it wasn't her fault. I couldn't imagine what kind of pain she was in to do some thing like that.

She is from here, and the city paper made contact with her family. Her sister (who, based on the interview and the quotes she gave, doesn't come off as very stable herself) stated that mental health concerns have been a long-term issue.

That’s very sad, I’ve enjoyed wearing her handbags. She was a talented lady who should have sought help with whatever the issue was. I feel sorry for her child and spouse.

Even though this story is about a tragic loss, I too wondered about that. The brand can't help but be permanently tainted when the name is the very person who committed suicide.

Yes, Spade's sister said she was manic depressive and had been self-medicating with alcohol for several years.

Kate Spade's death is big news in Kansas City (where I live). Kate Spade was born here and grew up here. Spade's sister gave an interview to the Kansas City Star about her death.

What do you mean? It says she hung herself?
