Haute Kotur

Kotur Handbags

Wow. Your resume’s really stellar. Even if it’s not quite, er, accurate.

Sure, you worked with the president — of the Glee Club. And you can type 200 words with ease. Assuming, of course, that it’s over the course of a couple of months.

Well, Fiona Kotur-Marin is just as inventive as you are. But instead of fudging the facts, she applies her creativity to a line of refined handbags. The result — her curriculum vita, if you will — is impressive indeed: brocade clutches made with vintage fabrics from the 1960s and ’70s. Each design’s brightly colored, and a portion of the proceeds on a few styles goes toward Operation Smile.

Need references? She’s designed accessories for Polo Ralph Lauren and collaborated with Tory Burch. So she’s got a reassuringly reliable background.

Unlike some of us.
