Holding Kate’s family, friends and loved ones in my heart. — Chelsea Clinton (@ChelseaClinton) June 5, 2018 Kate Spade made some of my favourite pieces. Her use of colour was brilliant. Her books are wonderful. Her poor family. Thinking particularly of her young daughter. Absolutely heartbreaking. — Caroline Hirons (@CarolineHirons) June 5, 2018 So sad to hear about Kate Spade, one of the great entrepreneurial stories of all time.
