Los Angeles stylists Emily Current and Meritt Elliott are now launching a collaboration line of purses with designer Kate Spade, and let me tell you, the fusion of styles is creating a beyond fabulous result. The collection of leather bags, called “Westward” for the inspiration of a bicoastal road trip, is composed of versatile shapes and sizes that hold just about anything their consumer wants to put in it. The bags are practical and relaxed with just a hint of femininity and modernity.

“I think that was what was so exciting about this project. We have such strong branding and aesthetics and we loved how consistent and directional Kate Spade is. They loved our west coast/Americana/vintage influences. We were able to play off of each other.” Emily told Fashionista.com when asked how they combined their two drastically different design aesthetics. And play off each other they did. The beauty behind the bags is that they appeal to a wide variety of women, instead of pigeonholing into one specific type.

Longtime admirers of the Kate Spade brand, Merritt also told Fashionista.com “We’ve been fans of Kate Spade since our youth and we’ve always associated their iconic structured lady like bags with the Kate Spade look. We looked through their archives and wanted to keep the essence of bag but added more whimsical boyish rough and tumble elements. They’re not as refined–more laid back.” This editing of the classic Kate Spade look pays off with the use of different leather textures, patterns and colors, creating a collection of everyday bags for the everyday American woman. With bags varying between smaller shoulder bags to mini duffels, this is one collection that has something for whatever you’re looking for.
