Kate Spade New York has more than 140 stores across the United States and more than 175 outlets across the world.
The 55-year-old is understood to have taken her own life at her home on Park Avenue on Manhattan's Upper East Side. A year later, Spade and her husband left the company to focus on raising their daughter. After three years of not turning a profit, the brand received an award in 1996 from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and its colorful creations were suddenly must-have items.
Spade was a co-founder of the designer label Kate Spade New York, which she later sold. Her products were sold all over the globe in boutique shops as well as major department stores. It is believed that the two made the majority of their money at this time. She was reportedly found in her apartment by a housekeeper.
