I was in a shop today (Kilkenny Design Centre) and saw she had a new handbag line.
There was about 10 designs and a few purses. I was really suprised at how nice they were. She also models the bags in the ads.
I have no idea how much imput she actually has into them () but they are quite nice.

Is it Tory Burch that she's copied with the first one? She actually owns one in black of whatever brand it is I'm thinking of anyway, and the dangly chain attached to the coin purse is very reminiscent of that. On the original it was just a plaque that sat in a pocket on the bag's outside near the corner there, maybe it's just the way it's styled for that shot but the first thing that came to mind was omg she's ripping off others' designs!
In general they're all too fussy for me. Any news on the price point? I'm guessing around $300ish?
I am never to keen on the idea of so called "celebrities" taking the hand to pencil, as generally the designs are awful regardless of who has helped in the process, but apart from the hideous metal work going on they are pretty solid designs. My personal favorite is the top one in brown, the attached coin purse is a good idea though, I think I would prefer it in black however.
I had a little search for Kilkenny Design Centre but couldnt seem to find anything relating to her? any links?!

Reason: finished
No, it's not on there, their site is really weird and has nothing to do with their stock, there's only one handbag & it's chesnous, an Irish brand. It's not very organised.
You can get them all on asos.

i saw her bags today at david jones (department store in aus).. i must say i was impressed. i wouldn't nomally go for a celebrity line, but actually her bags were my favouriters in the whole store for under $300. i'd def buy one for a low cost bag.. they were retailing for about $175
meh. if it was Keira Knightley or SJP designing bags i'd be interested
Dolce and Gabbana did something similar to the first bag several years ago I think. Glad the quality is good though.
