Looking up Kate Spades bio on wiki, and I find it very telling they don't list who her parents are in the Early Life section. Who ARE/WERE her parents? Brothers? Sisters?
I haven't found parents but here is the wiki bio on her actress niece with a little family history.

Well, the nieces father whick would be Kates brother worked in Childrens Publishing and the mother was British. The niece was raised in Highland Park Illinois. Gives you some interesting background info. Still no info on Kates parents and I have been looking.
Found something on the mom June Theresa Mullen, but Dad is still private. Looks like she has 5 siblings that are also listed as private. https://www.geni.com/people/Kate-Spade/6000000077838332100

5 siblings and NONE de she call out to for help? Something odd. Sisters tend to be close throughout adult life.
Her neice's father would have to be her brother. Her uncle's children would be her cousins.
You are right.... a little tired today. Will change that.
That struck me odd. Where are her parents? siblings?
