Utilitarian leather bags that are fashionable and functional. Sound like an urbanite's far-fetched dream to you? Well, we think it sounds like our recent Fresh Faces New York alum, Knox.

The Brooklyn-based talent behind the line, Jessica Maxcy, created her debut collection of sumptuous leather bags with custom brass hardware (that comes courtesy of her Pops...aw!) with us city slickers in mind. "They have lots of storage space and multiple pockets," she explains. "The inspiration for the line comes from the shapes of space vehicles, ice crystals and other natural forms in space." Hot handbags and space travel? Well, obviously.

So what's the hurry? If you score one of Jessica's pieces now, you're getting in on the ground floor, and it's always fun to trump your fashionista friends. Just don't let them take advantage of all the cool little pockets and extra storage space that you'll suddenly have at your disposal—no one wants to be the girl lugging around everyone else's stuff.

Class dismissed.

Knox Handbags are available online at Chocosho.
