And it’s happening right now over at Gilt Groupe! Gilt is an online sample sale destination that covers the hottest brands at the best deals (most of the time, on the web!). And right now they’re throwing a “Shades of Grey” bag (and shoe) sale event, featuring Rebecca Minkoff, Marc Jacobs, Kate Spade, Furla and more, with prices marked 60% off retail.
Katherine Kwei’s Spring/Summer 2010 Collection is here! And, I must say, these new additions are gorgeous! There really is something for everyone in this collection, whether you’re looking for the latest spin on one of her classic styles or something no one has ever laid eyes on before. These bags offer the perfect accent to any summer style, with season-appropriate colors and textures. Nothing screams “summer” like a white or off-white handbag! And, of course, Katherine Kwei has continued to stick with what she does best by incorporating her Chinese “Eternity” knot-inspired weave into each of her designs. That is one feature I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of! And now, without further ado, here are some of my favorites from the Spring/Summer 2010 Collection! Enjoy!
Donna Batik Clutch
The Donna Clutch has been around since the Autumn/Winter 2007 Collection and it’s still going strong! What I like about this latest version is the hand-dyed, black and white lambskin. It gives the clutch such a unique look! And, oddly enough, it reminds me of Alexander McQueen (just a little bit).

When it comes to handbags, 2-in-1 styles are always cool. Who doesn’t like the versatility? Or, for that matter, the fun? So when a 4-in-1 style comes along, you know it has to be super cool! And the Katherine Kwei Amber Switch Bag is just that — super cool! All cheesiness aside though, the Amber Switch Bag is like nothing I have ever seen before. At first glance, you would never guess that this is a 4-in-1 bag. From the modeling pictures, it is obvious that this bag can be worn as either a crossbody bag or a clutch (thanks to the detachable shoulder strap). Is this something new? Of course not!
Have you ever sold off one of your bags in your collection, then when you look back at your old TBF “show off your bags” thread, realize that you made a mistake?
That is exactly how I felt today when I was shopping around online, and I discovered the new purse list of the latest to hit the virtual shelves over at TheHipChick.
The last bag I parted ways with was my Katherine Kwei Donna Tote. As I look back I realize that it was such a mistake.
The purse has everything: amazing form, yummy chocolate color, unique detailing, spacious interior, etc and etc. The bag was down right gorgeous.
The Chinese eternity knot detailed Donna comes in a deep delicious Chocolate lambskin with metallic strips and is currently retailing for $1,300 over at THC. And now for the shocker: guess how much I sold my Katherine Kwei Donna for on eBay.. only $399! *gasps!*
Find this exquisite beauty over at TheHipChick.
Just last month, I wrote a post about the Katherine Kwei Joyce Carry-All. For some people, it was love at first sight for this Luna Boston Exclusive. But who could blame them? Especially with a handbag as beautiful as that one is! Well it turns out, however, that the Joyce Carry-All is not the only Katherine Kwei style available exclusively on Luna Boston. In fact, the Katherine Kwei Joyce Carry-All has a little sister!
Introducing the Katherine Kwei Joyce Clutch! This adorable clutch has a whole lot of charm packed into a very small package. Just like it’s larger counterpart, the Katherine Kwei Joyce Clutch features gorgeous Chinese Eternity Knot detailing with contrasting silver on the underside of each leather strand. I really like the delicate fringe that peeks out from underneath the flap on the front side of the bag. Wow, it’s almost hard to believe that something so small could have so many intricate details. Plus I love how the inside of the bag features six credit card slots and a slit pocket for bills. There’s no need for a wallet with this little clutch. It would be perfect for those times when you only need your essentials with you!
The Katherine Kwei Joyce Clutch measures 8.5″ x 4.5″ and it retails for $300. Find it in Teal or Black at Luna Boston.
The Chat: Kwei Joyce!
Socialite Olivia Palermo was spotted with boyfriend Brad Leinhard, at the after party for “The Mysteries Of Pittsburgh” hosted by The Cinema Society at The Cooper Square Hotel in New York City. Her bag for the occasion, one of my personal favorites, was her gorgeous Katherine Kwei snakeskin plumalicious Donna clutch.
What I love most about this clutch is the eyecatching sparkling little pieces of crystals scattered in the design (Chinese ‘eternity’ knotting technique for which Katherine Kwei is known), the size, and the beautiful frame which is both modern and femininely elegant.
What’s knot to love?
Right now over at LuxCouture they have the Donna in metallic silver snake (minus the crystals) for $1,010.
