Work It!

Our Thurston Tote —one of our signature styles from our first collection—is quietly becoming our most popular style this year. It's no wonder that it was recently touted by Vogue India as a "pure statement business purse." We created this as a sleek and stylish alternative to the boring "work tote" to lug around our production sketches, agenda, folios and such. From discreet details such as delicate topstitching, ultra-luxe red suede lining, and a palette ranging from Haircalf and Python to Anaconda and printed Leopard Haircalf...this bag is meant for some serious wearing but never shows its age.

Weekend in Capri

New for Fall is the Capri Bag, shown here in soft metallic lambskin with glazed Anaconda top handles and trim. The centerpiece of the bag is the natural Agate stone ring, which riffs on the Agate feet of the other bags in the collection. This is the perfect carry-all for everything from a laptop to an über-chic gym bag to a weekender. Capri Bag, from $695, kellylocke.com

See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me

Nature is the best inspiration. I started thinking about designing totes when I couldn't find a simple, unadorned, logo-free bag to carry around my notes, samples, and other miscellany. But what really got me inspired was the discovery of baby hair calf. These skins are completely natural and one-of-a-kind. No dyes. No fake coloring. And no two are alike. The fine hairs are incredibly tiny and soft. So soft it leaves people speechless. The Thurston Tote is the bag that makes people stop you on the street to ask where you got it (that's even before they feel it!). And that's exactly what happens nearly every day when I'm at Urth Caffé waiting in line for my daily Spanish Latte fix. Hand-crafted by local artisans in L.A. and lined in ultra-premium Italian red suede, the Thurston Tote is available in both natural and spotted Baby Hair Calf, Anaconda, and Napa leather.
