If the fact that Karl Lagerfeld will be at the Chanel Soho store on Spring St. on Fashion’s Night Out (September 10), where there’ll be a whole host of exclusive bags and accessories trumpeting the store’s Peter Marino-designed renovation, isn’t enough to get you south of 14th Street, then contemplate this: nearby neighbor, and designer emporium, Kirna Zabête will debut an exclusive Céline small Box bag in black croc available only at the boutique in the U.S. It’s the classic shape Phoebe Philo made a major hit when she debuted it two seasons ago; since then, it’s become a wardrobe staple for the most stylish women in the world (think Hermès Kelly and Chanel 2.55 level). Boasting a unique calf leather strap–two on one side, singular the other–the bag’s simplistic shape is utterly timeless and guaranteed to be a classic for decades to come. Just remember that before you glance at its price!
$8,100, available at Kirna Zabête, 96 Greene St., 212-941-9656
