Meet Kathy Krysel, the woman behind K Squared Design, a new handbag and accessory company in the Twin Cities. She makes everything from custom bridal party clutches and hair pieces, to everyday jewelry, laptop bags, and handbags. Smart & Chic is excited to feature a variety of products by K Squared at our Beauty Lounge (opening this Friday)!She began her design career in the 80’s as an interior designer and worked in the industry for 20 years. Because of economic strains, she looked for other ways to utilize her creative eye and her passion for fashion accessories.
Kathy always enjoyed creating custom handbags, clutches and totes for friends and colleagues, and she soon realized she could stop the search for the perfect design position. Her passion for design, texture, fabric, color and form used to make handbags and clutches was it. Kathy formed K Squared Design in fall 2009 and made her vision a reality.
For her daughter’s wedding, Kathy used her skills to create bridesmaids’ jewelry and a coordinating damask and silk clutch for her daughter. Smart & Chic Bride was hired to style the bridal party’s hair and makeup, and Julie of Smart & Chic noticed the bride’s custom-made clutch and inquired about where it was from. She was amazed to learn that Kathy had designed and made it, and so began the start of a professional relationship with Kathy and Smart & Chic Bride.
Stop by the Beauty Lounge at 20 University Ave NE this weekend to see her current collection, or visit her blog for more of her work: k-squared-design.blogspot.com
