I've been so tempted by these cute Kurt Geiger bags! I just saw one at Nordstrom recently and the leather was softer and nicer than what I was expecting for the relatively affordable price!
I just discovered the brand earlier this year through Nordstrom’s website. I first bought a red Kensington with Union Jack stitching design. The bag has brushed gold hardware and by all accounts feels and looks like lambskin. It is very unique and I adore it. When I saw the rainbow Kensington initially It was love at first sight. However, by the time I decided to buy from Nordstroms the design had changed and leather straps were added to the chains, which IMO cheapened the look of the bag and took away the edge. I passed. I then kept thinking about the bag and decided to give it a try. I ended up buying it and am very happy. In person it is so vibrant and for the most part comfortable to wear. The only difference is that it is more structured than my first one. Maybe because it’s metallic. The quality is also exceptional IMO given the price point. If you search Kurt Geiger on Instagram or go to the website you can see all the different colors and styles the Kensington comes in. The minis are to die for, but just too small for me. It is a lovely alternative to so many of the higher end brands. Good luck.
Found this at a vintage store in my 'hood this weekend. It has a certain elegance to it and can be simple on one side or a little more dressy with the filigree on the other side. I also purchased the scarf they had with it. I think it will look awesome with a Coach chain strap and carry crossbody. I don't think the bag is leather but it is a stiff and structured bag with just the right amount of ladylike and edgy! It is made by Triangle New York. It measures 14" wide x 10" high and 2.75" deep at the base. The lining is ivory and smells like crayons so I know it isn't leather but has a leather look to it!
I love this bag. So pretty and structured. I'm a sucker for a top handle bag! Congrats
There aren't any tags inside to say if it is leather or not but I wonder if the outside is. I looked for this maker on eBay and some bags are going for over $200! I'll have to do more research in to this maker. Would be nice to have 3 on a shelf in my bedroom. The seller had another black one that was a little different and smaller with gold hardware. I chose this one because of the unique filigree on it and loved the shape. I'll have to see what they have sold for on ebay...not just asking prices!
I've been on a MK kick lately, and purchased these 3: Ballet Floral Sophia, Admiral Woven Ginny, Rose Gold Quilted Ginny (stock photo, mine is still in transit). The closet was purged, and collectibles were taken off the shelf to compensate.
I saw a similar MK bag with that quilted leather in Macy's and it was so soft!!! I'm not usually into MK but I was very tempted. I hope yours is just as soft! It possibly might have been lamb leather?
Thank you! I got it today and the leather is pretty soft, but not quite like lamb. Here's a pic.

Yes! The leather is thick and yummy. I have another Duluth bag that I bought 3 years ago and their leather is amazing. It gets better with time. Scratches rub right out and all that. It’s how I wish Coach would make their bags again. ♀️
