Where Traveler

 

In most parts of the world, summer’s arrival means swapping out dreary clothing and accessories for colorful wardrobe pieces. But here in Miami, we embrace the bold and the bright all year long. That’s why we love local handbag designer Ximena Kavalekas’ new collaboration with Margherita Missoni.

The designer’s special capsule collection is a unique twist on her Mandolin 2.0 handbag. New details on this stunning statement piece ($2,400) include decorative star stitching in a zigzag pattern, which creates both women’s initials and laser cut daisies.

"I’ve always been fond of niche brands that concentrate on doing one thing and completely excelling at it... Ximena Kavalekas is a perfect example," explained Missoni. Find the bag at luxury stores like The Webster, Bergdorf Goodman, Moda Operandi or on the designer's website.
