Kenneth Jay Lane Fraise de Bois Handbag | Black Haircalf Evening Bag with Strawberry Charm

51 sec read

At first glance this Kenneth Jay Lane handbag looks like any mild-mannered black evening purse. But there’s more to the Fraise de Bois than meets the eye.

I’ve never really warmed to haircalf bags, until now. Rather than appearing tacky, the fur in basic black is sumptuous and alluring, like a thick, plush velvet. It just makes me want to reach out and run my fingers through it! The simple demi-shape helps this lush finish to shine.

If you know your French you’ll remember that Fraise de Bois means wild strawberries. It’s an unusual moniker to be sure, but one which Kenneth Jay Lane plays with. A cheeky resin strawberry pendant hangs from the zipper, adding personality to what seems like a fairly basic bag.

The interior is also simply designed, a small pocket and luxury satin lining. This pocket holds a satin covered mirror, which is ideal for those cosmetic emergencies. The triple strand gold chain is another practical perk, which gives us a hands-free carrying option while adding to the purse’s air of luxury.

At $285 this Kenneth Jay Lane purse isn’t cheap, but I think it looks much richer than its price.
