When I first found out about Reed Krakoff’s new line, I honestly wasn’t expecting much. Yes, I know that I’m the only one, but I’m just not that big a fan of Coach, and I sort of imagined a line full of brown, logo-covered bags. I was wrong, and the Grommet Cadet II is a good example of how Krakoff has brought a pared down and very sophisticated sensibility to his new line.
Chalk white leather automatically makes me think of Easter. Perhaps it’s because my Easter shoes as a child were inevitably chalk white at the beginning of the day and some splattery combination of grass stains and egg dye by the end. Unless you live in a vacuum, you might have a hard time keeping this very smooth white leather clean, but honestly, I think it would look great with a few nicks and scrapes, anyhow. Like my Easter shoes.
The Cadet shape has been a major winner this season. It has some of the slouchiness of a hobo, but unlike more boho styles, it’s not lacking in structure. The combination of stark white with this casually chic shape is irresistible. This will be an amazing accent piece to a summer dress, or even a great way to add contrast to an all-black wardrobe like mine.
All the strap and buckle details are perfectly placed on the Cadet, as is the price at a very reasonable $990. Boy, was I wrong about you, Mr. Krakoff.
