Kenneth Jay Lane Ali Shoulder Bag | Crocodile Embossed Leather Bag with Jewel Encrusted Alligator

Posted on: Sep 18

According to Kenneth Jay Lane, kitsch never went out of style. Many would disagree with the design house, but if you don't the Ali may be the shoulder bag you're searching for.

The $290 price tag doesn't buy you authentic crocodile, but it does buy genuine leather. Kenneth Jay Lane gives the calfskin an exotic appeal with its embossed scales. I doubt anyone would mistake this imitation for the real deal, but that doesn't matter. It's still an eye-catching finish, particularly in this croc ice shade.

The reptilian theme is carried on with a cute alligator accent near the base. The silvery creature is studded with large jewels for a little extra bling. It's the sort of feature you're likely to love or hate, and your take on it will probably decide whether you buy this bag or not!

The Ali is a fairly small bag by modern standards, with barely enough space for the essentials. Such a tiny interior needs little to keep you organized, so there's just a slip pocket with a mirror inside. This is such a handy little extra for those emergency cosmetics applications!

The $290 is reasonably priced for a Kenneth Jay Lane bag, making it a decent pick-up for girls willing to take a fashion gamble.
