She’s made headlines this week by lamenting the career restrictions her ample cleavage places on her, but we’d rather talk about Emily Ratajkowski’s accessories – specifically, the bag design she’s co-created with super-cool French brand The Kooples.
While the three-size handbag style doesn’t drop globally until tomorrow (July 5), Ratajkowski gave us a glimpse of the small-size red version via her Instagram account today.

The model-actor, who was approached by the brand for the project, says she tapped into memories of own grandmother’s best bags (including some Prada gems) for the vintage-inspired shape, then added lots of compartments and pockets given her disdain for carrying a wallet. (Ed’s note: amen!)
It’s the first designer collaboration for the American star who was recently named the face of Australian swimwear brand Amore & Sorvete. The Emily by The Kooples handbag is part of its Autumn 2017 collection. It comes in three colours – black, taupe and red – and two sizes, ranging from around $490 Australian for the small version to $620 for the largest, which is big enough to carry a laptop.
