Kara Ross Alta Handbag | Luxury Camel Leather Purse with Python Trim

Posted on: Dec 27

We haven't seen much of Kara Ross' day bags, which is a real shame. While her exotic clutches are red carpet regulars, larger purses like the Alta deserve just as much acclaim.

This is a handbag that oozes luxury. The combination of camel Royce leather and python trim is utterly elegant. Python can often look a little flashy with its dark marbling, but these biscuit toned accents are a much more subdued affair. Some may prefer that obvious exotic appearance, but I think it's the ideal match for the similarly subtle camel.

The simple structured shape is relatively unadorned, allowing those high quality fabrics to take center stage. The only accent is the smoky topaz stone, a luxurious touch which completes this elegant look.

Pockets in both sides of the suede-lined interior help keep this deep space organized. I'd have appreciated a magnetic snap or some other closure, but at least with the platform base our goodies shouldn't spill out once we set the Alta down.

At a little over $1000, the Alta may be too pricey for some. But its timeless good looks make it an excellent candidate for a post-Christmas splurge.
