Kate Spade launches the Knott handbag
INSPIRED by the notion that a woman’s handbag carries her entire world (and more), Kate Spade New York has launched the new Knott Handbag group for Spring 2021. Created in pebbled leather with a subtle knot detail at the gusset, the assortment features cinched sides and multiple inside pockets, giving equal amounts of style and function. This handbag from the spring collection is available in a variety of bold colors and classic prints to appeal to a range of personal styles. Creative Director Nicola Glass says, “When designing the Knott handbag, our top priority was to create a bag that would work for any woman — no matter if she’s starting a new job or exploring a new neighborhood. The Knott reflects everyday style with a pop of color and clever design details, like the beautiful knot that cinches the gusset. It’s the bag that ties it all together.” Available in four sizes — mini, small, large, and extra-large — the satchel has an optional, adjustable crossbody strap. In the Philippines, Kate Spade New York is available at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street Central, Greenbelt 5, Power Plant Mall, Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-La Plaza, and Rustan’s Cebu, also online at Trunc.ph, Rustans.com, Zalora, and Lazada.
