Think of Kate Spade and its fun novelty bags immediately come to mind, which is why the all-new Nicola Twistlock Shoulder makes for a curious piece (well, aside from the fact that it shares the same name as the label’s current Creative Director), coming in a clean and minimal-looking silhouette with a difference. It’s crafted from a smooth Italian leather that’s lovely to touch, with a structured profile that can be worn casually over the shoulder or adjusted (maximum drop length of 50 cm) and slung across the body for a different look.

Looks aside, the star of the piece has got to be the unique twistlock closure shaped like a heart, one that opens by simply turning the heart upside down, releasing the clasp and revealing a roomy interior that will fit your everyday essentials within. If you’re looking out for extra compartments, there’s also an interior slip pocket (and another on the exterior) for notes and receipts, along with an elongated zipped pocket for items that need a bit more security.

The Nicola Twistlock Shoulder is currently available in two sizes, Small (SGD590) and Medium (SGD640), which measure 15 cm by 13 cm and 23 cm by 15 cm respectively. As for colours, the bag comes in single-toned options like Black, Hibiscus Tea or Juicy Orange, as well as a bi-coloured version in Black/Optic White that’s equally gorgeous. You will be able to spot the new bag across all Kate Spade boutiques in Singapore, and all that’s left is choosing the right size and colour to match your everyday outfit. Which have you got in mind?
