We know what you are thinking — the name Spade sounds familiar as well. Indeed, the designer married Andy Spade, the older brother of actor David Spade, and was wed to him for 24 years (via Town & Country). Andy would become the handbag maven's business partner as well.
Upon Kate's passing, her comedian brother-in-law told Good Morning America the family was doing "as good as we can" (via USA Today). The Tommy Boy star added, "It's been very tough, obviously. She really made an impact."
Spade also shared a cute story about his sister-in-law, whom he called a "beautiful, lovely, great spirit that obviously will be missed," saying, "It's funny 'cause every girl I was with, or anyone that knew they would see Katie, would dress differently. They would bring their A-game. It was very sweet."
