Rafe isn’t one of the brand’s whose bags I easily recognize. However, they seem to offer a wide range of styles, and I generally like what I see.
The Rafe Kate Shoulder Bag just might be my favorite of their options. Like all of the other handbags this season with studded details, the Kate is right on trend.
On this cognac brown version, however, the studs don’t have as edgy of a vibe as other bags like the Gladiator Wallet. Instead, this one just has its own unique style that I’m really liking.
The Kate has small cutouts with leather strips to create a lattice effect. Between the cutouts and around the studs, you’ll notice a little silvery canvas peeking through. It helps to break up the hardware and soften the style, and the result is fabulous and one-of-a-kind.
If you love the studded look but prefer something not totally rock-and-roll, the Rafe Kate is a great choice for you. It’s a decent size with easy to carry straps, which is always a nice feature. At $696, it’s not easy on the wallet. However, it’s the kind of handbag that is bound to get you plenty of compliments.
