Reed Krakoff

Reed Krakoff used to be one of my advertising clients when I worked at a fashion magazine, and since then I, every so often, take a peek at their site.  I know it's nothing that I would ever buy, not because it's not gorgeous but because their bags are about $1000.  But still, I like to look :)

Here are some of my favorites:

boxer bag

Bridle two-tone leather tote

Boxer Bag - definitely my favorite

kit leather shoulder bag

Kate Spade Westward Collection

I recently checked out the Kate Spade store in Soho and came across the new (it's new to me, at least!) Westward collection.  I absolutely love the sequins, leather and detail on the bags.  The Ingenue Clutch juxtaposes leather and sequins.  I think it's a beautiful combination, one that I don't see often (ever?) in a bag.

I also love the Wanderlust Satchel, which is described as having "italian ostrich embossed cowhide with italian suede trim." I never knew there were Italian ostriches.  Do you think they drink cappuccino??  Anyway, I digress.

So the satchel is 800 bones.  Yea, that's a little outta my price range.  But the clutch, which is made from the same exotic material, is $545.  Still a lot for a clutch, but so adorable!  A girl can dream...
