Taigan Fetch Magazine by Taigan

The daughter of a diplomat, designer Devi Kroell grew up all over the world, and her stunning handbags contain elements from each of the far-flung points on her personal globe: exotic skins from Indonesia, the exquisite workmanship of Italy and France, the post-modern shapes of her native Austria. Now based in Manhattan, Kroell has become the darling of A-list names ranging from mother-and-daughter team Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn to Jessica Simpson and Sienna Miller. It’s no wonder—her now classic hand-stitched, hand-painted python hobo is the ultimate in refined luxury. Just two years after launching in 2004, she won the Swarovski Perry Ellis Award for Accessory Design from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Since then, she’s launched a line of women’s ready-to-wear and shoes. We love those too, but the bags remain the thing. “They scream new, fresh, and interesting in the quietest way possible,” says Mimi Bowen of Mimi in New Orleans, who started carrying the line this year. “I adore the classic hobo, and the new version with the twisted shoulder strap detail. These bags are so luxurious but still somehow understated. They’re an absolute must for the modern woman’s wardrobe.” We could not agree more.
