Dear Marc,
I worship you (I really really do, even when I’m ragging and raging on you it comes from a place of love). I never know what I’m going get from you, but I always know it will raise my blood pressure. I rant in agitation over the atrocities you deem acceptable for consumption but I also bow when I see greatness. The Kasia is the most original and beautiful bag you (and your brood of young designers) have designed in ages! I love it, everything about it speaks luxury to me without the ostentation of logos. In its place, strips of beautifully cut leather stitched in sensuous waves– with no apparent pattern– allowing the imagination to freely roam. It is at once soft and strong, feminine and graceful. The gently curved outer pocket is perfectly executed and yes, genius. When the leather becomes well worn and curl up at the ends, it will just give it dimension and character. I love you. But please, don’t freak me out with another patchwork mess. Kasia bag will be available in July 2009 and is 16″ x 9.5″ (40cm). Comes in taupe (above), grey, black, dark brown and bordeaux for $1,750. There are two other versions called the Lita and Bruna in smaller sizes. Call Lorena at 212-343-1490 to order!

The Lita is a small and cute version of the style. Looks quite nice in black!
The Bruna is 36cm and doesn’t have the same oomph but is still a pretty bag.
Finally! A gorgeous and unique bag, love it.
stunning and unique…love it and the price isn’t bad!
“It is at once soft and strong, feminine and graceful.” Well said! This bag is incredibly sophisticated but is also incredibly unique. I love the way the leather curves all over the bag. I am personally in love with the taupe!

The best looking MJ bag ever. I’m in to the black, so chic!
what a gorgeous design! hats off to MJ
The bag is nice, but I’m still stunned by the price inflation, especially in this economy. A few years ago all MJ bags were well under $1000. I wish my salary increased 30% a year the way bag prices do…
beautiful
WOW! I’m going to pick this up this weekend. EXCELLENT recommendation, Bag Snob 🙂
Agree with the inflated price! It reminds me of fruit-rollups?
my favorate MJ bag.love love
Fresh, feminine, and fabulous.
It’s almost a new spin on the lattice-work effect honed by Bottega; clean, modern, and well crafted.
I love how this bag is a bit funky yet is still able to retain an appropriateness that parallels traditional.
Kudos to Marc, quick paparazzi flashes of accessory brilliance as usual. 😉
stunning! it’s been too long since Marc has created something captivating and BuyNow-worthy
gorgeous but the only thing i’d remove is the dogtag.
Are the Lita & Bruna available in the other colours too?
Does the Bruna come in the other colours too?
Finally, love at first sight…
Love this bag!
I LOVEEEEE the Bruna!! The color is gorgeous and it looks like something I can slip my laptop into too! Beautiful AND functional. =)
Love it!!!!!!!!!
I love it! I just spoke to my sales girl at Saks and she said they are going to have it in August!
