Kate Spade - Biography
Fashion designer and businesswoman Kate Spade was born in 1962 in Kansas City, Missouri. She launched her own line of Kate Spade handbags in 1993, and the company expanded to include numerous retail outlets and selling its products through high-end stores. Spade sold the remaining shares of her company in 2006, but later resurfaced with a new fashion brand.
In 2016, the Spades, along with their longtime friends, Elyce Arons and shoe designer Paola Venturi, launched their new fashion endeavor, Frances Valentine. That year also brought the introduction of a Minnie Mouse-themed line of products, its popularity leading to a new batch of Minnie purses, phone accessories and jewelry in 2017.
Spade was found hanged by a scarf she allegedly had tied to a doorknob, an NYPD source said. Her shocking death prompted an outpouring of grief among her fans and her company's customers, including Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump.
