Designer Thursday: Kate Spade and Current Elliot create Westward

September 15, 2011
You wouldn’t necessarily think to combine preppy chic Kate Spade with boyfriend jean queens Current Elliott (stylists and designers Emily Current and Merritt Elliott), but that is exactly what happens in the new collection Westward. Β These two sets of designers meet in the middle to create a collection of leather goods that isn’t perfect, but still lovable (how could you not love purse names like wanderlust and runaway).
Texture and sparkles collide in Westward making this an unexpected collection for Kate Spade. Β The prices are a bit higher than typical Kate Spade, but I am intrigued by the slightly edgier feel and use of ostrich embossing. Β Of course I’ll also wait and see if prices end up coming down as well.

What do you think of this collection?

    I like it! The runaway duffle is my favorite! Sigh, why do I always gravitate toward the most expensive thing πŸ˜‰

    I will always love ostrich leather- whatever brand it comes from probably!

    although it’s past my price point, i think that adventurer satchel is amazing.

    i need the middle one in my life! xo

    I like the satchels but the glittery bag probably not…I’d be afraid that I’d lose the glitter all over the place! This is a cool collaboration and Kate should bring in more edgier pieces.
