Michael Kors Handbags and Purses

Mr. Kors began his career in fashion at the age of 19 after graduating from The Fashion Institute of Technology, in New York. Kors' designs first gained notice at a renowned boutique in New York City called Lothar's and prompted Kors to form the Michael Kors label in 1981, when he launched his first women's collection. In January 2002, Kors launched a full scale men's collection.

Kors latest collection, launched in fall 2004, unveiled MICHAEL, which included women's and men's attire, handbags and small leather goods and timepieces for both women and men. 'Michael Kors', the label's signature women's fragrance, was launched in 2000.

The success of Michael Kors' clothes, handbags and fragrances is consistently seen at Hollywood red carpet events on stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Charlize Theron, Catherine Zeta Jones, Sharon Stone and Gwyneth Paltrow.
