A Visit to Aimee Kestenberg’s Atelier

I absolutely love traveling, and I think it's so much fun to check out everyone's "jet-setter" style. The perfect handbag is key to nailing the look, and Aimee Kestenberg's bags are the epitome of cool, jet-setting style! So when she invited me to visit her showroom in New York a few years ago, I jumped at the chance. I’m sure you can tell from her on-air presentations that this woman is so much fun.  At that time, she was in great spirits because she had just taken her final U.S. citizenship test (she’s Australian).

 

Not only is she a Forbes’ “top 30 under 30,” and multi-award winning designer, Aimee is always creating: finding that perfect leather, designing custom hardware, and reinventing textures. She bounded around her showroom showing me several new bags and making sure I took notice of the attention to detail that she gives each and every design.

After that, she said she wasn’t going to allow me to schlep all of my stuff around New York in just any bag, so she very generously gave me this Aimee Kestenberg Nylon Quilted Tote – Jasame - in a one of a kind blue! Now, you can have that bag at a fabulous clearance price.  I still use it today and love it!

Or you can choose our Today’s Special Value that is the newest piece from her “vision board” – the Aimee Kestenberg Pebble Leather & Suede Hobo. It was inspired by her recent trip to Italy and the amazingly gorgeous Tuscan Countryside.

So, no matter which of her creations you choose, the two I called out or another, you can’t go wrong.

 

Happy Shopping!
