Inspired by a need for easy-to-use quality bags that appeal to people regardless of social or cultural background, accessories line Kara was launched in 2013. The New York brand’s modern collection of purses, messenger bags, and luxury backpacks focuses on simple shapes and clean lines. The name is derived from the Japanese word karaoke, meaning an empty orchestra, an image that represents the possibility for creation and self-expression.
