Kathy Van Zealand Handbags were launched in 2004, which in fashion terms is relatively young but despite the age of the handbag range the success and popularity of the range has been immense.

Kathy’s collection of handbags are renowned for being fresh, funky and girly best of all these purses are affordable with many being available at under $100. Due to the affordability, durability and the innovative designs of these purses they are fast making a name for themselves as ‘the’ purse to have.

When browsing the vast range of purses available I noticed that many were available in a metallic fabric. These are great for achieving a futuristic youthful look that is popular with celebrities such as Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.

One metallic Kathy Van Zealand purse I especially adore is the soft bronze metallic satchel. This purse measures 40cm by 26cm and is made from a snake skin textured material. The soft bronze glow emphasizes the bags texture beautifully as does the detachable crystal key chain hanging from the brown leather loop handles. There are two handy zip pockets on the front of the bag which are great for storing small loose items.

The inside of the purse is accessed via a sturdy and secure zip and once inside you will find there is plenty of room for all your daily necessities.

Another reason I love this bag is it is casual enough to wear during the day with a pair of denim jeans but it is also glamorous enough to wear in the evening with a sassy dress.
