Kara Ross is a New York designer that has just recently moved her NY brand to London. Her outlandish use of vibrant colours and precious and semi-precious stones has gained her favour among the A-listers in New York and I can see why. Her jewellery is stunning and totally in for this summer. Bright colours are the way forward this season and a Kara Ross piece would set off your outfit quite nicely!
After designing gold, crystal incrusted Cuffs for a J. Mendel fashion show this summer, Kara Ross started to expand her ‘Diffusion’ collection, designing earrings, rings and necklaces and finally to my delight she has got a handbag collection.
Her use of colour, luxurious materials, exotic skins and precious and semi-precious stones make her bags not only beautiful but unique. Now I’m personally not a fan of using skins or furs for fashion but I love gems on jewellery and accessories and nothing says Bling quite like a huge stone on the front of your handbag!!
Now I’ve not seen a price quoted on either the Kara Ross website www.kararossny.com or Selfridges www.selfridge.com which means it would probably cost you less to buy a car than one of Kara Ross’ handbags but hey a girl can always dream can’t she!!
