Book of the Month "Emanuelle" Frame Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Kate Spade New York Book of the Month "Emanuelle" Frame Clutch blends fashion with culture with romance to create a simple but surprisingly bold accessory. It's hard for anything with prominent letters or words not to catch the eye but this one does it in a pretty and very feminine way in pale pink PVC. Inside it's fully lined in a cute black and white cotton twill bookstripe print and it has three compartments, the center one zippered, while outside it has metallic foiled leather and enamel trim.

The front says "Emma Jane Austin" and on the back "It darted through her with the speed of an arrow that Mr. Knightley must marry no one but herself." $325

Inside the Homes of American Fashion Designers

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel, Decor, Books, Celebrity Design, Architecture & Design

Assouline has released the latest luxe edition in its American Fashion series, dedicated to the top-drawer designers who are members of the prestigious CFDA. American Fashion Designers at Home showcases the personal spaces of more than 100 fashionistas, including Diane von Furstenburg, Oscar de la Renta, Cynthia Rowley and Kate Spade. While some designer dwellings are extensions of the sensibilities embodied by their apparel collections, others exhibit a marked contrast. The domiciles range from studio apartments to sprawling estates, but all are linked by a keen aesthetic sense. Included are Carolina Herrera's grand Louis XV–influenced New York apartment; Betsey Johnson's girly glamourpuss garret; Ralph Lauren's luxuriously rustic Colorado ranch; Donna Karan's tranquil Turks & Caicos getaway; Tommy Hilfiger's over-the-top Greenwich mansion; Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa's ultra-modern Manhattan aerie; and Johann Lindeberg's converted Greenwich Village factory (on the book's cover, above). Check out the gallery for a preview of Randolph Duke's Hollywood spread (which he recently sold for $5.3 million), David Chu's chic digs and more.

24K Gold Ltd. Edition Toy Soldiers from Chandelier x Partners & Spade

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets, Men's Style

Just in time for Father's Day, Richard Christiansen, advertising guru and founder of New York's Chandelier Creative, has collaborated with Andy Spade's acclaimed design studio Partners & Spade to create the ultimate toy for boys – a five piece, 24 karat gold, limited edition toy soldier set. Comprised of an embossed incandescent gold box with a fitted case for five individually crafted soldiers, it's being produced in a limited edition of 100. Each soldier is handmade, individually capturing a slightly different look and feel, so no two will be exactly the same. They are all engaged in various activities – some are marching, some are standing guard, and others are taking pictures. Accompanying the soldiers are four different props, also 24 karat gold, ranging from a chiseled brick wall and barrel that provide a safe place for cover, to a pile of debris. The limited edition sets will be available to purchase exclusively at Partner's & Spade in NYC beginning Saturday at $500.00 apiece.

Kate Spade Folly Beach Benedicta Straw Satchel, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Kate Spade Folly Beach Benedicta Straw Satchel is an it-bag for the coming season's trips to the beach, be it in the Hamptons or all the way in the Caribbean. And, if you're not sure you can get to the beach quite yet, it will at least make you look like you did.

This classic straw satchel has an attractive woven pattern which is pleasant to touch and light to carry. The beautiful brown leather makes an elegant shape, and the foldover turnlock of pale goldtone hardware completes the sleek, chic look. Inside, you'll find a smattering of pink and orange polka dots -- just to make sure you don't take yourself too seriously.

There is an inside zipper pocket for your valuables, and at 14¾"W X 10½"H X 5"D, this bag can carry your suntan lotion, your camera, and all your beach essentials (save for your pail and shovel and your towel). That said, it also looks great slung over the back of a chair at lunch at the club.

The Kate Spade Folly Beach Benedicta Straw Satchel is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $295.00.

Kate Spade Jungle Dot Lucille Dress

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

We've already featured a wide assortment of dresses to get you excited for the Spring Season, but we couldn't help to feature this one by Kate Spade. The Jungle Dot Lucille Dress ($445) is a departure from your typical Spring pastel colored and floral attire and uses colors more commonly associated with the Fall. The ink blot pattern is sparsely scatted at the top with a heavy concentration towards the hem allowing for otherwise dark and heavy colors to still exude the light and airy feeling of Spring. I'm especially in love with the cascading ruffle neckline. It's a dramatic accent but doesn't disrupt from a classic silhouette. The Jungle Dot Lucille Dress is made from a combination of silk dupioni and cotton twill and, my favorite feature, a hidden button at the center front allowing you to either cover up your cleavage and be conservative or leave unbutton and be ultra sexy.

Kate Spade Coney Island Quilted Lilia Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Kate Spade Coney Island Quilted Lilia Tote shows us quilting on a new -- much larger than usual -- scale.

This lovely13½"W X 13"H X 3"D tote has big, diamond-shaped nylon quilt panels, which give it an unusual texture and a lot of interest! The juxtaposition of the soft, cushy panels and the rigid goldtone rings and metal chain shows both femininity and grit. It's a sensible, day-sized bag with a punk rock edge.

We love the way this bag would dress up any denim -- and add rock cred to your day job outfit. The bag is rounded out with a sexy, deep red lining, an unusually dark metal Kate Spade logo plate and patent leather trim.

No word on whether it doubles as a pillow, but we have an inkling that it would totally work.

The Kate Spade Coney Island Quilted Lilia Tote is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $355.

Kate Spade Sherwood Owl Handbag, Handbag of the Day

by Laura Malesich (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

A decidedly autumnal palette meets a wise character in Kate Spade's Sherwood Owl Handbag. A mixture of patent leather and suede, this unique bag is both fun and smart bringing the owl to life with bright eyes and two little feet poking out beneath the lower edge. The interior is fully lined with silk and features both a zippered and open pockets to keep your things organized. The three-inch drop double handles complete the design. I love the texture and comfortable beauty encompassed by the layers of material and the price isn't half bad either -- $425! (14" x 14" x 5")

Kate Spade Women's Charlottesville Malea Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Kate Spade Women's Charlottesville Malea Tote is an elegant, refreshingly basic tote for spring.

You might call this a "safe" tote, which makes it an excellent investment piece. Made from smooth, shiny cowhide (or so they say, but have you ever seen a green cow? I didn't think so.)(Yes, I'm kidding.), the bag has simple lines, charming tassels, and gold-toned hardware.

The perforated details and subtle Kate Spade namestamp keep this functional bag feminine. The 13.75"W x 10.25"H x 5.25"D bag also has a floral lining, complementing the grassy shade of the luxurious cowhide.

The Kate Spade Women's Charlottesville Malea Tote is available from Bloomingdales for $395.

Kate Spade Store Opening Totes, Handbags of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel, Handbags

Kate Spade's "store opening totes" is a collection of 7 individually designed canvas tote bags created in commemoration of the opening of several new Kate Spade stores around the country. Each bag is available in a limited edition of only 50 and is not only designed in honor of its specific store's location (this "stop and smell the roses" bag is representative of its store's home in Portland, Oregon) but is also only available in that individual store for purchase. So if you're looking to have a collection of all 7 bags you better get ready for a cross-country travel spree.

This artificial crocodile design representing the Everglades in Florida is my favorite.

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Introducing a twist to the classic basket weave summer tote, Kate Spade used patent leather for the weave in her Sao Paolo Small Coal Tote. In red, white or orange (pictured), the bag captures a small piece of the flair of one of the most populated cities in the world, Sao Paolo, Brazil. The bag is unstructured and has an open top. There is one interior pocket in the signature larabee dot cotton twill lining, but the rest of the tote remains open and waiting to be packed with books and sunglasses for relaxing day trips or trinkets collected at an international, open-air market. It measures 11.2"h x 12.6"w x 6.5"d. Price: $695.
