I just had to know more about the bag so I asked Katherine Kwei if she could provide a little background on it. And wouldn't you know it? Kathy has a great story behind it:
"We thought of the Amber by accident. When we received one set of our mock up samples[,] we wanted to change the knot weave so we cut it off the body of the bag. We realized that the weave was completely intact and not falling apart when detached from the bag. Since we always back our leathers with another leather, sometime it's tonal but often it's with a metallic, we decided to see if we could make a bag that someone could switch colours around depending on their mood or desire...So the Amber Switch was born - where someone can change the whole look and feel of the bag with just a quick unzip and zip while you're in a cab from the office to cocktails."
The greatest things always occur by accident, right?
Here's a pix of me using the Amber Switch as a cross-body bag:
I'm not sure why I didn't lengthen the shoulder strap more (there's plenty more to lengthen) since I wouldn't mind having it sit lower, but at least you get a feel for the size of the Amber Switch. BTW, I'm petite. It can fit all your personal items easily (in my case, personal junk), but it won't (and shouldn't) double as your gym bag.
