It seemed that Derek Lam handbags rose just as quickly as they fell. They made a brief appearance on fashion editors and a certain reality show blonde pop star, but then the craze wore down. The Nicki Shopper, though stellar, just seems to be another take on Lam’s older designs. Using the same signature ram and the delicious pebbled leather that makes his purses so desirable in the first place, Lam wins us over for the same understated chic that he embodies with his clothes, but the lack of creativity isn’t too impressive. The Nicki Shopper retails for $1,550 and is available at shopbop.com.
