Michael Kors, handbags for all women.
Ambassador of affordable luxury, since 1981 Michael Kors has been proposing collections of ready-to-wear comprising pieces with simple cuts, which never go out and fashion and manage to be of the moment. Initially known for designing clothes, the designer is today more famous the world over for his accessories and especially for his handbags bearing the name of Michael Kors.
From ready-to-wear to accessories.
The American Michael Kors gained fame in 1978, when he launched a collection of clothes for the prestigious boutique Lothar's. Three years later, he founded his own brand, with pieces marrying elegance and sports vibes, adored by the New York jet set. From the outset, the young designer, who drew inspiration from observing women and listening to them talking about fashion, became a true ambassador for sportswear, then very in vogue in the US. The creative director of the House of Céline from 1997 to 2003, he also designed styles which were very well-received by French women. But it is above all with the presentation of his first range of Michael Kors leather goods, and especially his handbags, that he established his reputation in 2011.
Today, the designer counts famous personalities like Jessica Alba, Gisele Bündchen and Kim Kardashian as fans of his collections of leather goods. Now iconic, the Selma design is available in four sizes. The Selma Messenger, the smallest in the range, has been adopted by the Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio, who has even made the bag her favourite carry. Finally, Michael Kors perfumes, launched in the very early 2000s, have also contributed to the success of the House.
Practical, luxury handbags.
In the eyes of Michael Kors, the perfect fashion object must add style but also be functional. It is with that in view that the American designer comes up with practical, versatile and luxury handbags. Their lines, which are quite classic, inspired by great leather goods makers like Chanel and Vuitton, ensure a certain timelessness to these accessories. The now extensive collection of handbags by Michael Kors comes in different versions, shoulder bags, cross-body or with handles, and different capacities. Tote bags, saddle bags and cross-body bags for day-to-day feature alongside baguette bags, which are more suitable for nocturnal outings. Michael Kors also uses multiple materials and textures, with bags in python, exotic leather, crocodile and water snake skin. Finally, there are handbag designs in textile, like the cross-body bags in quilted tweed and Michael Kors tote bags in cotton.
Engraved with the designer's name in gold letters, women's handbags by Michael Kors never go out of fashion, fulfilling the ambition of producing durable pieces which are perfect for everyday use. The following feature amongst the most famous designs:
