Michael Kors didn’t look to the latest pop diva or Hollywood starlet when creating his latest handbag. Instead he took inspiration from his dear old mother!
Joan Kors, a former fashion model, has long been a muse for Michael Kors, so it’s only fitting that she’s finally got a bag that bears her name. It’s a classic beauty, just like its namesake, and available in a range of colors including the embossed mocha leather bag pictured.
But Mrs. Kors is far too old to carry a bag strictly for looks, so Michael Kors has made his latest accessory very practical. The real life Joan loves the front pocket, which she plans on using for keys and a cell phone, and the secure zip closure. In fact, she’s already eyeing up the bag.
“I certainly wouldn’t mind being surprised with a crocodile version,” she hinted.
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, perhaps Michael Kors should take note! Joan plans to have dinner with her son on the big day, so he’ll have ample opportunity to gift her with her namesake bag!
If you’ve got an eye on one of the bags for your own mother, or even yourself, you’ll find it at Michael Kors boutiques, including the label’s online store, for $398.
