The big news for spring is of course oversized & white (CLICK HERE for a recent Fashiontribes blog on the "it" bags to keep an eye on - including the Dior Gaucho, Mulberry, Ralph Lauren & Kooba ) "If you're looking for news, it's 'Edith,'" Sarah Easley, co-owner of Kirna Zabête, told WWD (Spring’s Sterling Satchels by Sophia Chabbott, WWD, Monday, December 05, 2005), about Chloé's new silhouette. Their hot-for-several-seasons-now Paddingon and Silverado styles are still being picked up by retailers, but look for a fresh take in pricey alligator ($12,000+ at Neiman Marcus).
