Love the Big Apple but hate those cheesy “I love NYC” slogans? Then you’re going to love this Kate Spade collection: Embrace the kitsch with these cheeky New York-inspired accessories, created in collaboration with blogger and illustrator Craig Redman.

Kate Spade x Darcel Fall 2013 loves New York

Known for charting the “highs and lows of life in a big city” in his Darcel Disappoints webcomic, Redman puts the city dweller’s insouciance aside for a campy celebration of all things New York.

Featuring the ubiquitous yellow taxis, apples and all the little things we love about New York – hot dogs included – these loud-as-you-can-get accessories are not for the wallflower, that’s for sure.  

From pretzels on handbags to a doughnut-shaped bangle, we find most of these pieces almost too cute to resist.

So shout your love for the iconic city with these weird and wonderful new accessories; we won’t blame you if you’re tempted to take them all home.

The Kate Spade New York x Darcel Fall 2013 collection is available in Singapore stores from August 5, 2013. Prices start from $100 for small accessories to $520 for handbags.
