I am not a huge fan of Kenneth Jay Lane’s recent production. I do like some of the designs (mostly his older ones that have been reissued) but I find the quality lacking.

Not sure what this is like in person but I spotted it on the Bergdorf Goodman website and it is pretty and un-KJL like. I expected it to be plastic, but it’s a mix of plated metal and wood and reasonably priced at US $295. Funky and a little dark and not the usual KJL bling bling.
