Ever since Mary-Kate olsen started carrying Alexander Wang's new "Coco" bag, the fashion set here in the city have been clamoring for it. Wang has been a cult favorite for city residents for some time, so it came as no surprise that the designer's handbags--the first incarnation was slouchy and zippered, this one's buttery and studded--would prove similarly infectious.
Well, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that the bag is finally available: Downtown boutique Oak got it in and put it up on their site.
