Has anyone heard of the brand KAAI? Their concept and price point seems similar to Senreve, although I prefer the design of KAAI bags. In particular I'm eyeing the Pyramid bag as a work bag.

This bag looks so much like Le Cabas from Polene, but a lot more practical! I like :D

@whateve @southernbelle43 here are some snaps! A bag interior, what fits, content without a phone (A Kindle, sunnies in a soft case, a wallet, sanitizer, iPhone XR) , and bag snapped up filled with everything. Getting in and out is super easy, aligning the snaps to close can take a second if a bag is full but otherwise magnet finds its target pretty well.

My very first thought was WOW look at that lining. That is yummy. That is a unique bag and the quality looks very very nice!! Thank you for the photos. I do not understand why more brands don't realize that many of us do not want a black lining and we DO want to see the inside of a bag on the web site!!

It’s actually unlined! Just a nice inner suede. Their whole thing is that the bag is made with the most minimum amount of elements - just leather, 4 feet, 2 snaps, and 2 pins and that’s it. It’s very light.

Here are the charms (along with a coin purse from Bulgari x Ambush):

Right now, I'm just trying to narrow it down to which bag I'd like first: the Lorin, the mini Dream, or a miniaturized Newey Duffle. I had been thinking the Newey duffle in navy with a green lining and PHW, but I just got a blue bag, so I'm leaning towards the Lorin instead. I know I'll want silver hardware, but the colors I bounce back and forth on as much as the bags. Anyway, I'll post updates once I decide.

Oh my gosh, this thread has now opened up a whole new rabbit hole, and these Nitz bags look amazing! I can't help but notice they evoke the Birkin feel but with more practical features. I also love the Newey Duffle as well as the Dream. Do you have a general idea of prices? The only ones I saw quoted were for exotic skins.

How does the leather feel? You seem on the fence about it...any negatives?

The leather is actually fantastic! I don’t know if you are familiar with Massaccesi handbags but it reminds me of his nappa - soft, glossy, but with some structure.
The negatives are purely subjective: 1) it is quite pricey and I ought to be on a ban island right now and 2) the shoulder strap is not long enough to be a crossbody, which is not my most favorite configuration. I havent tried a handheld strap yet but I bet it will be very chic.

I like it! It looks like it will be very easy to see things inside.

If they ever make it in interesting colors I'd be very tempted.

Thanks! The lack of crossbody would bother me too especially at that price point.
