American label Kate Spade New York never fails to churn out some of the most memorable and quirky bag designs. Last Fall, they introduced bags shaped like boomboxes and piano keys, and a furry bag fashioned to look like a cat’s head (complete with pointy ears and eyes).
Their Spring 2017 collection now goes big on travel, with the North African country of Morocco serving as its main inspiration. From its bustling souks (open-air marketplaces) to the beautiful Majorelle Gardens and the Sahara desert, the collection draws on these iconic sights and sounds and translates them into accessories that bear the brand’s signature whimsy.
Here,10 must-have bags to shop once the collection lands in stores mid-February:
Other than the obvious Chinese New Year references, this makes a fun addition to any summer look.
Add a slice of Morocco into the everyday with this adorable camel-shaped bag.
The camel motif also carries through to the brand’s pouches and cases.
Perfect for the shutterbug: This cute camera-shaped mini bag makes an eye-catching accessory.
This Arabian-influenced design gets the girly treatment with hot pink and orange hues and tassels.
The mint leaf – another tribute to the country’s culture (you know, Moroccan mint tea?) – gets translated into an adorable clutch that’s great for jazzing up your party outfit.
