Age 55. Suicide. OMG, she must have been in such pain.

RIP.

I pray she is resting in peace now and I also send prayers out to her family and friends.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Kate Spade,

I get the impression investigations are ongoing, but she did leave a suicide note. I read this -- Just last year, Coach bought the Kate Spade company in a $2.4 billion deal. I always think, Please don't do this, but we can't imagine the private life of another.

This is so sad. She was married and had a 13 year old daughter.

How sad and what sad news for her family and friends. We really don't know what goes on behind the scenes in these people's lives. It is rather shocking news.

Even though Kate and her husband sold the Kate Spade brand long ago, her name is forever linked to the Kate Spade handbag line. I wonder how this will affect the Kate Spade brand going forward? When a brand is named after the founder or owner and the owner dies under unfortunate circumstances do people still want to buy or carry the brand?

I was going to buy my daughter a nice crossbody bag from the Kate Spade outlet store on my next trip to Las Vegas and now I'm not so sure. I don't know what to do as this bag would be a gift and if the brand has sad connotations now I am thinking it won't be lucky to own this brand.

@TY You are not alone. I don't have any Kate Spade bags but I was wondering about those who do. I'm not so sure I could bring myself to wear one right now. A personal decision for everyone but I totally understand your hesitation. I think it will become a real tribute in the future but personally, if I had one, I would put it away for a bit. So sad to see her name right now.
