I pride myself on being the handbag loop and knowing what/who is hot long before it hits the masses. In fact, designers often come to me for press writeups or a friendly tidbit before they reveal their goods to the editors at
LUCKY,
InStyle, etc. So, my bag-a-licious taste buds always perk up when I find something that's already out there. Designer
Tarah Smith is a former model and founder of an earlier bag line called SMAK. She's also created handbag for Oscar gift bags. FYI I googled all of that because I had no clue who she was or what SMAK bags even looked like. Looking now at her
new fall offering, I'm not only excited by the classy shapes and detailing (love the lanyard-esque handles and the buckles), I'm also flipping for the prices. Can you believe in today's word you can get this bag for under $400? Trust me when I say that it's not any easy task to find a bag at this price. If you own this bag or other Tarah Smith styles, I'd love to know what you think.
