Anne Klein Handbags

Anne Klein handbags are just another guiltless perk from an amazing designer who is consistently memorable for producing styles that remain relevant to the lives of American women.

Anne Klein was a New York City native born under the name of Hannah Golofski. Her career began in 1938 when she started as a sketcher on Seventh Avenue. By 1948 her line of Junior Sophisticates was created, and, twenty years later, Anne Klein & Co. became an entity in the world of fashion.

What distinguished Anne Klein within the industry was her attention to the field of practical sportswear which targeted young women. Operating with a similar philosophy as Liz Claiborne, Anne Klein realized the need for separates in the wardrobes of contemporary women. Therefore, her focus on blazers, trousers, and clothing designed for the needs of modern women became an immediate hit in the United States.

Anne Klein took on Donna Karan as an intern one summer, and after Klein's death in 1974, it was Donna Karan who continued to design the Anne Klein Collection, expanding it to create the Anne Klein II line in 1982. Yet even today, Anne Klein's designs remain committed to a vision of luxury, refinement, and practicality that is indispensable to the American female sophisticate.

The Anne Klein label is known more for its shoes and sportswear rather than handbags. Anne Klein handbags, however, still carry the same level of sleek practicality that is thematic throughout every seasonal collection. These are not the wild, pattern-impressive couture bags boasted by designers like Dolce & Gabbana or Fendi. Anne Klein handbags are committed to excellence and luxury, but they are also tenably designed for everyday use. These handbags are ideal for the working women to tote to and from the office; hence, expect features such as:

• Quality crafting materials
• Sleek practical styles
• Leather Styles
• Low-key embellishments
• Versatile Designs

As mentioned earlier, Anne Klein is not particularly notable for her handbags, so styles are limited. At any given time there will be a few available items under the category of Anne Klein handbags. But in the past, Anne Klein handbags have covered the usual array of totes, satchels, shoppers, and classic handbags styles.

One of the latest Anne Klein handbags is the New York Shopper. This clever little accessory is a perfect piece to accentuate business wear, woolen coats, long gloves, or any ensemble that will have you out on the town. Crafted using calf hair and leather, this Shopper exemplifies the simplistic elegance of Anne Klein. It offers the traditional array of handbag features including an exterior front pocket and an interior zip pocket, cell phone holder, and protective metal feet.

More importantly it can be easily accessories with Anne Klein New York pumps, to complete the look of an urban socialite. Once again, as with any everyday handbag, your chief concern will be versatility. The New York Shopper can be easily accessorized and will work well with most modern wardrobes.

As is the case with many upscale designers, Anne Klein handbags are a target for the replica industry. This means that when you are attempting to purchase Anne Klein products from online retailers or street vendors, many of the items you are purchasing will be unauthentic. Purchasing an Anne Klein tote online for the low price of 24 US dollars makes for a suspicious circumstance. Be wary of any retailer who is selling designer goods for significantly discounted prices. If you must buy discount, look to authorized dealers such as Bluefly.com.

Anne Klein merchandise is sold at a variety of upscale department stores such as Macy's, Dillard's, and Bloomingdale's. The handbag collection can also be found at specific Anne Klein retailers nationwide. Click here to access the Anne Klein official store locator.
