Kara Ross was inspired for her Fall/Winter 2012 collection during a recent trip to Morocco. Pulling from her experiences in the Sahara, as well as her own Fine Jewelry Collection, the line is rich, vibrant and striking. The trip’s influences can be seen in Kara’s incorporation of beautiful jewel tones in purple, blue, green, and honey. As always, Kara’s collection features gorgeous stones and exotic skins to create bold statement pieces. One of the prominent icons of the collection is the scarab, an ancient beetle artifact, which has been recreated in onyx, malachite, hematite, amethyst, and Tiger’s Eye. The collection plays with geometric shapes and fine textiles to create pieces distinctive and unique.
The color palette carries over into her handbag collection with vibrant new skins, custom died for the collection. Kara debuted a new style, similar to her classic Trinity bag, which keeps the working professional in mind with plenty of space for the necessities as well as a spot for your iPad. Also available this season is a bag customization set available for retailers. The set beautifully displays the various stones, closures and skins available for handbags, making customizing your own unique Kara bag a breeze. With all the delicious new skins and gemstones, picking just one combination seems nearly impossible!!
