For a true summery nautical style, Kate Spade’s preppy chic looks are a great place to start. Though the designer has a wide variety of classic bags, coastal casual is probably one of her most well-known trends with details like tassels, grommets, and stripes.
The Easton Kenny personifies that popular seaside style so well. Though there aren’t any stripes on the bag, the Easton Kenny would perfectly accessorize an outfit that has them. Kate Spade must have had yachting and seaside cottages on the mind when designing it since it’s named after a Maryland town on shore of the Chesapeake Bay. It doesn’t get more coastal than that.
I like the fact that the handbag isn’t a literal translation of the style. Instead it just has some subtle features that merely imbue it with that vibe. The square grommet handle anchors are gold-plated and engraved with the Kate Spade logo. A drawstring closure lends a casual air, but the shape is very structured and contained giving it a refined look.
The cowhide material is lightly embossed, resulting in a pebbled texture. The Easton Kenny comes in the light brown color shown here as well as solid black and a truly nautical-looking beige and navy blue combo.
