Studio Visit: Williamsburg Handbag Designer Kelly Reid
New Zealand native Kelly Reid first settled on US shores six years ago, with a coveted internship at Derek Lam. "I was always making bags for myself or filling orders for friends," explains Reid. "Even recently a friend lost her favorite handbag on the subway, so I whipped up a replacement." We caught up with the designer at her converted Williamsburg apartment and studio to talk spring handbag styles—or, as Reid refers to them, "bagable bags."
