The Origin of Bags

Jun 18, 2007 @ 9:10am

gabi bags.jpgLong ago, Kate Spade worked with a designer named Gabi, who later started a clothing collective called AsFour.

The group was famous for its fashion commune, its zany wadrobe, and its very bad behavior - fist fights, screaming matches, death threats, the works.

But maybe what made AsFour most famous was their circle bags, which soon spotted every downtown corner with their massive flat fabric.

We haven't seen those bags in a while, but we did see this Kate Spade bag, on sale at Nordstrom for $295.

It is called "The Gabi."

Kate Spade has actually been selling the "gabi" collection for just under a year now. I have a small black one.
