Up and Coming Designer: Kara Ross

Founded in 2003, Kara Ross New York, LLC is a rapidly growing luxury good company. The designer is known for her eclectic designs and use of alternative materials. Interestingly, however, Kara Ross is also a certified GIA gemologist. This probably explains her apparent love of incorporating beautiful stones into her pieces.

Best known in the handbag world for her gorgeous clutches, Kara Ross is also known for her unique jewelry designs. And just last year, her designs won the FGI Rising Star Accessories Award. What an impressive accomplishment! Especially since her company is in its earlier stages and still has much more growing to do!
Although it was difficult to choose just one bag by this designer to write about, I chose to feature the Gemma Clutch because it appears to be one of her most popular designs. This delicious little clutch is available in a wide variety of colors and fabrications. What I love most about the Gemma Clutch is the genuine stone embellishment on the front of the bag. I also love its simple, envelope styling and hidden magnetic closure. This clutch is so gorgeous, I'm not sure if I'd be able to save it for special occasions only. I would be tempted to take it out with me all the time!

Shop Kara Ross at *NET-A-PORTER.COM*. There you will find the Gemma Clutch available in Turquoise or Biscuit.

Re: Up and Coming Designer: Kara Ross
I love the blue one too.
But i am not sure if the big bauble adds to or detracts from the look of the bag

Re: Up and Coming Designer: Kara Ross
$725 and $815. That is a chunk of change for a no name.

^^^ I think it's because these ones are made of python. I'm not sure what other ones would cost.

FYI: The Gemma Clutch is up for grabs on Gilt through tomorrow. They are mixed in with the summer jewelry sale. I would have never guessed!
Psst... the Pink Python one is only $358!
