katherine fleming’s brand-new bags

You might not have heard of accessories designer Katherine Fleming yet, but you certainly will. After stints at Tory Burch, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Gap, Fleming is striking out on her own this season with a small (only four styles in four colors) but strong handbag collection. Look for them at Barneys and Opening Ceremony beginning next month. Our favorite? Recession or not, we’ve fallen for the python hobo, $3,250, available at Barneys New York, (212) 754-7940.
