Follow usUp and Coming Designer: Kara Ross
Founded in 2003, Kara Ross New York, LLC is a rapidly growing luxury good company. The designer is known for her eclectic designs and use of alternative materials. Interestingly, however, Kara Ross is also a certified GIA gemologist. This probably explains her apparent love of incorporating beautiful stones into her pieces.
Best known in the handbag world for her gorgeous clutches, Kara Ross is also known for her unique jewelry designs. And just last year, her designs won the FGI Rising Star Accessories Award. What an impressive accomplishment! Especially since her company is in its earlier stages and still has much more growing to do!
Although it was difficult to choose just one bag by this designer to write about, I chose to feature the Gemma Clutch because it appears to be one of her most popular designs. This delicious little clutch is available in a wide variety of colors and fabrications. What I love most about the Gemma Clutch is the genuine stone embellishment on the front of the bag. I also love its simple, envelope styling and hidden magnetic closure. This clutch is so gorgeous, I’m not sure if I’d be able to save it for special occasions only. I would be tempted to take it out with me all the time!
Shop Kara Ross at *NET-A-PORTER.COM*. There you will find the Gemma Clutch available in Turquoise or Biscuit.

This is a really great post. I love hearing about new designers. Thanks so much for posting.
These clutches are so adorable.
I need that blue one.
Just followed the link – they have the NOX in style now, for all you shoulder bag fans
I am so surprised that I’ve never heard of this designer
I have to have one of these.
How much are these?
These are so beautiful. I’m really left in awe.
Hey, I love these clutches. I just went over to netaporter and they have alot of variety. Also I didnt’ know this designer had a jewelery line as well. Seriously go check it out, it’s so amazing.
Can someone help me here. I just went to go buy one of these clutches at netaporter, but why are the prices different? The beige one is $725 and the blue is $815. They look the same size, material, only difference is the color. Could it be a misprint?
I am newly-obsessed with this designer. Never heard of her before,, but they look fabulous.

I love the blue one too. But i am not sure if the big bauble adds to or detracts from the look of the bag
I love the orange!
Gorgeous! I think I like the tan color the best.
