Those who are completely obsessed with anything rainbows and unicorns will be pleased to know that Kate Spade’s Nicola Iridescent Shoulder Bag has finally arrived on our shores, with a couple of pieces spotted over at their ION Orchard boutique.

And while it comes in the exact size and silhouette as its leather siblings (which you previously read about here), this all-new version is constructed entirely out of PVC, and treated with a special coating to create a unique iridescent effect that takes on a different look depending on how you angle and view the bag. The other difference? It’s armed with a slinky chain strap, so you can easily loop it twice and carry it like a handbag or keep it long and sling it across the body for a casual look.

Functions-wise, the bag scores extra points for its ease of use. Just rotate the twistlock closure and you will find a roomy interior (width of 16 cm) that’s sufficiently sized to hold your absolute essentials, with an extra zipped compartment and card slot to help you stay neat and organised. Flip it to the back, and you will spot an exterior slip pocket, which is great for storing your quick access cards. If you’re wondering about the price, the Nicola Iridescent Shoulder Bag is priced at just SGD480. In other words, the perfectly priced piece for the weekend. Xiaxue, are you reading this?
