Kaia Peterka Clutches and Handbags

Kaia Peterka handbags are exceptionally constructed. My "Starlet" clutch, in the color "platinum" has this edgy, rugged flair that I love, and adds texture to every ensemble. However, the leather is soft and eye catching. Each season Kaia finds a new artistic or cultural inspiration and searches for the unique colors, textures, finishes and special treatments that will bring her concept to life. The attention to material plays out in deliciously soft leathers and perfectly worn textured looks. Every bag features a luxe brocade lining and convenient places for a woman's essentials.
