Introducing Devi Kroell

Megs · Apr 15th, 2008, 09:50 AM

Vlad and I had the pleasure of meeting Devi Kroell, the glamorous designer who is soft spoken and radiates when speaking of her designs. I have always been a fan of Devi's slouchy hobos, that made her name known, and more recently her box clutches. Many first wore Devi Kroell's python slouchy hobo, which at the time Devi was one of few designers implementing the use of exotic skins. In fact, Jessica Simpson made the bag quite popular and her sister Ashley became a fan also. Her purses are designed with all attention paid to detail. Devi's focus is on the exotics, and while she has been known for her python use (including python boots who are worn by stars like Kate Moss), Devi has ventured into alligator skin. Vlad was obsessing over her orange Alligator Large Hobo which retails for $28,990. So with that being said, I shall start to re-obsess over her python bags, because her alligator bags are not in my budget right now. Devi Kroell has lived around the world taking in different cultures, languages, and experiences to make her handbag and accessory line what it is today.

I love Devi Kroell! I always wanted any of her python bags. Her line for target was very cute too, I picked up the small little silver clutches for like $20.00. I think that's the closet I'll be to anything Devi Kroell for now.

^ Haha... we thought they were cute!

Wow! That's pretty!

Kamilla850 · Apr 15th, 2008, 04:50 PM

Wow this bag is just amazing. I can only imagine what this bag must feel like - I am shocked to see alligator skin 'slouch' so well, this bag must feel like butter.
But I too will stick to the python hobos since alligator is waayy out of my budget.

What a refreshingly simple and great design without bein assyetrical or having other strange bits that ruin it. The shape really compliments the great materials!

You know - i have never been a fan of orange bags - but the one pictured really is quite beautiful.... it looks delicious!
I love the design. I doubt they sell these bags in Australia *anyone know?* but I would love to see, hold, smell, wear one in person!!
You describe her like a superwoman Megs!!
I'm off to read the interview!
Love it...

I always liked the python bags. This croc is just as lovely. It is really simple and elegant.
