First Look: Kid Robot Handbags

kid robot1.jpgTopShop isn’t the only new development in Soho this year:

Kid Robot will also be launching their latest range of handbags from their Spring Street store.

We’ve got a sneak peek at the collection, and here’s what it looks like:

More colors than Willy Wonka’s candy factory, with familiar Kid Robot cartoons and toys emblazoned on all the carriers.

For the most part (okay, the entire part) these guys look more like bags you’d want to haul to the gym than to work or a party, but because of their crazy prints, they’d also be ideal for airplanes, when spotting your checked luggage can shave airport travel time.

Also:

They remind us a lot of the Tokidoki for LeSportsac line of ‘05, but that’s to be expected, right?

Did Kid Robot move? I thought they just renovated their store on Prince Street.

While I'm a fan of designer plastic, these bags just seem like a cliched product extension. Not doing anything for me.

So hideous. The problem isn't the idea, it could have worked, it's the total lack of talent from kidrobot that they display constantly. A cheap, trashy Medicom-wannabe that sells ugly hoodies and uninspired t-shirts.

Yakpak has way more interesting and pretty prints, if you're looking for a fun-print bag line. Bonus, they aren't priced out of this world.
