Some accessories make you feel like you have superpowers, similar to Superwoman's bracelets or Jem's earrings. That is exactly how I've felt for the past week carrying the Katia (pictured below) from Kipling's Spring 2009 Hip Collection. If you remember, I carried the Katie during New York Fashion Week, so it was only natural I fall in love with her bigger sister, Katia, for Spring. In addition to staying true to the attributes they are known for (great nylon design, smart organization, and that adorable monkey), Kipling is branching out to create fashion forward, functional handbags at great prices. While at an industry event today nearly every woman complimented the color and style of the Katia and had to know where the bag was from. Too bad it's not available until March ;).
I've selected a few of the styles I was excited by when attending the press preview. I hope you get just as excited by the vibrant Spring colors as I did. Which style is your favorite?
