Now that summer has officially arrived in NYC - Hello SUN, I have a great idea for a cool evening where you can sip a cocktail, be wowed by great art, and fall in love with one of the hottest handbag collections around. The name Katherine Fleming is quickly becoming an important label for those ladies who have discriminating tastes - and don't want to have the same bag their friends have 5 of! Don't know Katherine Fleming? You do, even if you think you don't. Fleming is the girl behind the bag at Tory Burch! So if you have carried and obsessed over the TB bags like so many women have the past few years - you have Katherine to thank.
Inspired by art and architecture, Fleming designs bags with miminal ornaments and clean lines. Understated luxury is her credo and her non-logo- logo is as chic as she is! Custom made hardware and the finest raw materials from Italy make these bags future keepsakes. While they are designer price point - you won't find any obnoxious, inflated prices happening here. With most of the bags ranging from $900 to $2500 , there is no higher quality or crafttmanship available in this price range anywhere.
The collection burst onto the accessory scene last fall at super chic department store Barneys NY all over the country and at cool kid specialty store Opening Ceremony in N.Y. and L.A. (that's where Rihanna snatched up one of Fleming's bags the day they hit the floor in NYC!)
I met Kate last year and right away I loved her whole approach to fashion. Raised in Miami and a resident of NYC, Fleming is one of those people you meet and want to be friends with immediately!
I"m looking forward to having a cocktail with Kate at the Fall Trunk Show this week at the Renwick Gallery. RSVP and join us! email : info@katherinefleming.com to join the party.
The Renwick gallery is located at 45 Renwick Street - NYC.
July 8th 6-9pm
It should be a perfect night to stroll over to the waterfront after the party. If you haven't seen the Westside parks under the moonlight - you are missing something special! The gallery is located in West Soho, just below Spring Street.
