Latest Obsession: The Kara Tie Shoulder Bag

It doesn’t happen that often, but sometimes I come across a bag while working on something and just can’t get it out of my head. That’s the case with the Kara Tie Shoulder Bag; I discovered it while looking for a handful of affordable black everyday bags, and it struck me as a particularly great option. You guys thought it was too; Shopbop sold out of the design the day after we included it in the post.

If you had your eye on the bag, which retails for a very reasonable $475 in regular leather, and weren’t able to get your hands on one from Shopbop, we have some good news: Net-a-Porter just received the bag this week in both black and beige, as well as a shearling-accented version that retails for $585. The design is simple; it’s a long-strapped, roomy shoulder bag with a minimalist “tie” (it’s actually a leather strip that slides through a fastened loop for ease of closure) to keep it closed.

For me, the design has a similarly clean visual appeal to Mansur Gavriel’s much-sought-after bucket bags, but with a little more slouch and without the interminable wait lists. It’s the kind of bag I could see myself carrying every day.
