Many handbag lovers were shocked when Reed Krakoff announced it would be ceasing productions last year.

For a while, we thought it was the last we would hear of this label. But, recently we were surprised to learn that the brand will be re-launching and targeting a new market of consumers.

Much to our delight, American fashion designer Reed Krakoff has reinvented his eponymous brand, giving it a new name — REED, and lowering its prices significantly.

This fresh collection still bears the chic elements of the Krakoff handbags that we have always loved, but now, they are a lot more affordable!
