RIP Kate.

Being the same age (same year) as Francis, I wouldn't be able to live without my mom. I cannot imagine having nobody to talk to or ask questions about. Just not asking or talking to my mom makes me realize how much I take her for granted.

We really need to stop putting a stigma on depression, it's a very serious thing to go through. I went through it myself, as has other family members. We need to show more compassion and love to our fellow men and woman.

Kate Spade is an icon a legend that will always remain in the heart of American people and world over. Her biographic sketch depict she was a hardworking and relentless women who get strong inspiration from her family and great motivation from her work.

Am I the only one.... but there is something I don’t like about her husband....

RIP Kate Spade. I'm so sorry your demons got you. Prayers for peace and comfort to your daughter, husband and extended family. You will be missed. ❤️

Kate gave the world a piece of happiness. 😍 Forever loved

I also had depression during peri-menopause. Mine started at 42. Hers started at 49. Mine lasted five years, like hers. Mine was severe, and so was hers. By the grace of God (boy did I pray), eventually I traced it back to food allergies. Milk, turkey, sunflower seeds and sunflower oil, eggs, and bananas. I can't touch these foods. I'll go into a black hole and think about the nearest exit. No PDoc ever told me about food allergies. Maybe Kate had them. Maybe she had a bad thyroid. Please folks, rule out food allergies and thyroid issues.

Oh Kate we are so very sorry that you were in so much anguish. We hope that you have found peace now. May your loved be comforted by memories from a time when life was simple, and you were happy. Thank you for the brightness and sparkle you brought. You wont be forgotten dear friend.

So very sad. RIP Kate. Will be sadly missed. The world will miss you so much. Condolences to her husband and family, together with much love ,sympathy and understanding.

Heartbreaking to say the least. R.I.P. Kate! My prayers go to your family and friends

She hung herself in the apartment while her husband was there, reading a book, or online, or whatever. I don't want to blast him, but, you"d think you would notice that. Then again, my girlfriend and I are often separated by our individual activities in our apartment for time enough to commit such a desperate act, I guess.

people need to understand the magnitude of victims of suicide and how they too become vunerable to criticism...walk the walk with them and feel their pain, the mental pressure they endure. Much sympathy and sorrow goes out to all the loved ones that are left behind from this horrific tradegy and illness. .people should never judge them💜💜💜 Show some respect and leave them to grieve in private.

R.I.P to Kate Spade. I am so sorry that she went through tough times late her life. It is not easy to deal with so many things at the same time. Her name will remain forever.

I have always loved Kate Spade designs. Since she died, her stores are still are coming out with new inventory. How could this be? I feel it is weird to purchase a Kate Spade item now that she is dead. Does anyone else feel that way?

A very interesting story. Young love but it went wrong ....too much money but not enough mental stability....I am so sad for her teen daughter. She needed her mom now . Thank you for this informative video.

She seemed to have a Good life! R.I.P. Kate!

God Bless Kate Spade.....she made our world sparkle......Peace to her.

I’m so shocked by this. She didn’t seem so sad.

She was such a fascinating and intellectual woman, also, very funny too! I would have loved to meet her.

High-End Leather, Low-End Labor; Handbag Workers Embroiled in Bitter Contract Dispute By VIVIAN S. TOYSEPT. 22, 1999 By nearly all accounts, the last year has been a great one for Kate Spade, the handbag designer of choice for chic girls at private schools on the Upper East Side and ladies who lunch at Barneys. She sold the majority of her eponymous company to Neiman Marcus for $33.6 million. She redesigned her West 25th Street showroom as well as her boutique in SoHo. And she and her partner and husband, Andy Spade, plunked down more than $2.6 million for a nine-room Park Avenue palazzo. But even as her trademark understated bags have been flying off the shelves of upscale department stores in New York and across the country, one of her main contractors has been embroiled in a bitter labor battle that has brought the world of fine leather and well-manicured nails face to face with that of immigrant workers barely making the minimum wage. In a tale as old as Ellis Island, workers at Veje Leather -- a garment district factory that makes only Kate Spade bags -- have complained of harsh working conditions and have said they believe that they have been exploited because they are new to the country and do not speak the language. The workers, most of them recent arrivals from Ecuador and the Dominican Republic, described 6-day workweeks with 11-hour days in which they were allowed only half an hour for lunch and no other breaks. Through an interpreter from the union, Ms. Pimentel said that Veje Leather was relentless in demanding the high-quality work that Kate Spade customers expect. She said she eventually injured her hands from the repetitive motion of hammering on leather and nylon with a mallet to make the delicate straps of the handbags perfectly smooth. ''I would come home and soak my hands every night because they were so swollen and painful from the work,'' she said. Ms. Pimentel said she suspected that Veje Leather had kept her on for six weeks longer than other union organizers so she could help complete a special shipment of bags that required her experienced hand to work the straps.

Super sad 😔💔

oh so sad my heart truly goes out to her daughter

On the Internet her cause of death is listed as suicide. That is a manner of death, not a cause; my old journalism prof would gone ballistic at such a dumb error.

I hope you find peace rest in peace Kate ❤

Sad!💔

I'm sorry but I don't buy that she was depressed nor do I believe she hung herself with a "red scarf". She was murdered and so was Anthony Bourdain.

There's nothing weak about surviving Decade's depression. Many Many people who suffer with this deadly disease, don't acheive nearly as much as they are capable of, due to the symptoms that accompany This illness. Many sufferers live in poverty because they are unable to keep momentum a working environment and are usually discriminated against by colleagues and there employers as they are seen as a burden to buisness, targetted for bullying and subjected to a whole host of other very unpleasent treatment within, thus causing more depression, isolation loss of self confidence, self respect independence. then take the depressed person who's without a suportive family, witout genuine friends because they generally get screwed over due to there vulnerability, making them perfect prey for narsists, predetors, open to manipulation of fake friends, causing them to internalize there pain inwardly. Imagine surviving this 50 years+ and wanting it to end cos your just tired and over it, but the survival instinct in you makes it harder to end your suffering, so you fight on another decade, your getting older and the world is getting harsher.. I think more of those with the view of (suicide for is weak people) clearly have lead lives without mental illness! You should also be open to the fact that it takes great inner strength to keep on keeping on when affiliated with this evil disease, in all its guises, and fair play to those who do become hugely rich and successful inspite of it but still carnt get free of its grasp. Respect.

I was shocked when the news came out about her death. Until now I still don't believe that she really killed herself.

So very very sad. The World needs to recognize that depression and suicide. Has been rampant. Especially the way in which they die. It's hard for me as a Woman to weap my head around. Hanging myself. Just doesn't sound normal...RIP Kate😢

Ppl talking about stigmas and shit need to understand Kate Spade was filthy fuckin rich...this is not a broke person that had no access to healthcare who slipped through the cracks...this woman could easily afford any of the best mental health treatment options available. There was nothing anyone could have done differently...not only would she not have been stigmatized but no one would have even known if she was or wasn't seeking mental health treatment and I highly doubt if anyone did they would've been critical of her as most have known ppl in their own lives suffering from depression and what it can lead to. RIP

When someone dies going through a divorce isn't that a little suspicious

Are the extreme feminists going to excoriate poor Kate Spade for killing herself over her husband's desire for a divorce? I just feel so bad for her, even, though, I'm not a fashion follower, and just heard the name when I overheard status seeking teens and twenty somethings talking about their Kate Spade purses. May she rest in peace and my condolences to her family and friends.

Rip. To. Kate. She. Is. In. A better. Place. Now

So very sad 🙏

Rip Kate Spade✝️💙✝️💙✝️💙✝️💙✝️

just so sad

Dear Kate Rest in Peace 🙏 it makes you wonder how guys just leads you on in long term relationship then just disconnect and leave like it's nothing. If a relationship is not going to work you would know from the beginning so no excuse to lead People along then ruthlessly leaves them with depression.... Bizarre.... inhumane

Her and her husband look so much alike they both look like who’s from whoville

I am from Kansas City also.

Rip beautiful

RIP Kate❤❤❤

Who else is watching this in 2020 being like “who that girl”😅

I suffer from server PTSD and depression but I could never leave my children until God takes me to me it's just selfish

you broke our heart's honey...

🙏🏻 KATE 🙏🏻

Rest In peace Kate spade !

Holy cow I had no idea she was from Kansas city Missouri. That's where I am from😨

R.I.P Kate. She reminds me of the lady who starred in Bad Boys with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence

People are not hung, they are hanged! Hang is an irregular verb in that it has two past tenses, hung for suspending an inanimate objects such as a dress and hanged for animate objects like a person.

RIP Kate Spade 💯🙏🏾🥀🕊🪦♣️👛👜

😭

She was both talented and pretty. Doctors who treated her were not worth a hill of beans.

I fuckin love you kate now and forever

There's something wrong with this,women don't hang themselves and women don't hang themselves who quit their jobs to take care of their children and leave them behind! she changed her last name, somebody murdered her for her royalties or for her name! they were losing money or cut out because she's sold the company to coach!someone needed to cash in because she was worth more dead than alive! just like every other celebrity that dies they die when they're worth more dead!

Suicide is real don’t invalidate it, if you’ve ever been close to contemplating it or someone who has you would know. Get help, the sun will shine brighter tomorrow. Get the meds you need to feel better, shop till you get the right one for you. Pray. God bless everyone, only God knows the pain, desperation and suffering she was going through.

She was supposedly hanging and was found unresponsive.. Let that sink in.. ..what suppose to have happened in between was never mentioned in any of the reports.. Kate would've been furious at the narrative today anyways.. From Allure; we'll always miss your genuine character..🙏

I think she's rather irresponsible and cruel.She brought a life into the world and she left it to its own devise.Have she forgotten she's a mother ???

Wanting to give positivity to women. Yet taking her own life sent such an opposing message. Sad story. I hope her daughter and husbad are alright.

So sorry...... 💥💤💔💨💫 It can take awhile to follow the path of life in search of the engine with 4 horsemen... R.I.P. K... indeed

So many list to mental illness and depression lately. It's so sad.

Why was she depressed?

I'm 12 now but when I was five I thought it was channel too, not chanel

The money passing to husband was huge.. unhappy marriage by that point in time...duh....

Who murdered her Where is Justice

Hello, Ms. Spade I was on a roll with your perfume line-it was graceful & seductive, my boyfriend at the time, loved the way it smelled on me. Apparently, now you are about belts & purses. Please reconsider your line again, I am losing ground. Lisa

making purses is not a vision.....come on......a purse is a purse.....she got lucky selling her stuff, I guess the name Spade was helpful and she knew people.....

all the money in the world would'nt buy u happiness

I. Be. Sad. Some. 👀Do. Not. Tali. My family. I'm. Sad. 👀keep. To. My slef

Andy killed her n paid the cops

Why is there no legal happy pills ? I.e. Are We really better off that Quaaludes are illegal but we we're force fed Oxycodone ?

She did not do this to herself.

Smile always smile they don’t have to know cause nobody cares

Fake information. Someone tried to get her out of truth's way.

Early

Andy spade was good husband he took all his money for her to get her business off the ground worked with ever job and penny to watch her take off

Why would someone with such means choose to hang herself? why not use pills? just makes makes me wonder if this was an actual suicide, or made to look like one.

I don't think she could stand him

Kate who?

Couldn't these two afford to have their teeth cleaned?
