If you’ve been waiting for the next it bag to hit Malaysia, Kate Spade has answered the call. The brand has just released the Duo Crossbody Bag, priced at RM1,500, and it’s already turning heads for one reason — versatility.
This isn’t your regular crossbody. The Duo features a sleek, crescent-shaped silhouette and a detachable mini pouch that’s as practical as it is chic. Think of it as two bags in one: the roomy main compartment can hold your essentials (yes, even an iPhone Max), while the smaller pouch is perfect for cards, keys, or your AirPods.
But here’s where it gets interesting — you can style it in four different ways (they count it as six!). Crossbody for errands, shoulder bag for brunch, belt bag for hands-free days, or even as a clutch for nights out. The other two ways to wear it are with or without the petite, removable pouch; it’s essentially a chameleon in handbag form.
Details that make it worth the spend:
- Material: Crafted in smooth leather with silver-tone hardware.
- Design: Zipper closure + interior slip pocket = secure but fuss-free.
- Size: Compact but roomy enough to cover your daily needs.
- Colours: Comes in multiple shades (check the Malaysia site for latest drops).
Globally, it retails at USD328, so the Malaysian price point aligns closely — meaning you’re not paying an inflated premium for grabbing it locally.
What Vie loves the most? The Duo is perfect for those who don’t want to swap bags every time they change outfits. It’s understated but luxe, modern yet practical — very much in line with Kate Spade’s playful-meets-polished vibe.
Vie Guide: How to Style It
✨ Office Chic
Pair the Duo in a neutral shade with a tailored blazer, straight-cut trousers, and slingback heels. Wear it crossbody for the commute, then switch to shoulder style when you’re heading into meetings.
✨ Weekend Casual
Go for denim jeans, a white tee, and sneakers. Clip on the mini pouch to carry just your cards and earbuds, then wear the bag as a belt bag for that hands-free café-hopping vibe.
✨ Date Night
Slip into a slip dress or a midi skirt with strappy sandals. Style the Duo as a bracelet bag or clutch — it adds just the right amount of elegance without looking too overdone.
The Duo Crossbody Bag is now available at Kate Spade boutiques across Malaysia and online at malaysia.katespade.com. Make sure to get at least one of this practical babe for yourself!
