Kaia Gerber put her own twist on the classic handbag, with “K” quilted stitching and a plush velvet finish. In other words: the perfect accessory for a night out.

“When Karl first told us his idea to collaborate with Kaia, we were all excited by the incredible potential and power of bringing their two worlds together,” said Pier Paolo Righi, CEO of Karl Lagerfeld. “We have been working intensely over the last months with Kaia in L.A. and at our studio in Paris. It was exciting to see her clear vision, passion and engagement, and the collection will definitely inspire many young women.”

She is the epitome of the social generation model, with over 2.6 million Instagram followers and an off-duty wardrobe that’s captivated street style critics.
