Kenneth Cole Purses

American born, Kenneth Cole built a successful design house based on tailored classics - from the shoes up. Forever the go-getter, Cole was determined to get his first company - a shoe company - off the ground and running. So, in 1982, he parked his merchandise in a large truck in midtown Manhattan and began selling shoes right on the street. He was armed with a permit, which was granted under the guise of a film shoot, for "Birth of a Shoe Company". Cole sold 40 thousand pairs of shoes in two and a half days.the rest is history.

Known for his thought-provoking slogans, Kenneth Cole advertisements have garnered attention and a few chuckles with quips such as "Tomorrow I'll donate clothes to the homeless. My sister won't miss them." Cole's dedication to true American classic pantsuits, coats, dresses, handbags and sportswear have made him a success with working women.
