Kenneth Cole Accessories
Kenneth Cole is a designer label that was created by the man who bears this name. Mr. Cole started out as most people do-very humbly. He first worked ….then he later created the store he is most known for-Kenneth Cole New York-and he was also noted for establishing a successful shoe store.
An Interesting Bit Of Kenneth Cole History
Before he began selling his clothing and accessories all over the world, he started out selling his shoes in the back of a 40-foot trailer. In fact, in order to be able to park in the area where he was selling the shoes he had to become a film company, which were among the only besides utility companies who could get a parking permit in midtown Manhattan at this time.
He had some very successful moments even in his early days involved in clothing sales. For instance, after the making of a film called “The Birth of a Shoe Store” he sold over 40,000 pairs of shoes two and a half days. The Kenneth Cole Productions from which the Kenneth Cole label grew is still in existence today.
This company may have had a very unusual beginning. However, perhaps it shows people that if they put their minds to something they are able to do it-for real. Kenneth Cole appears to be one who would do whatever it takes to be successful.
Some of the types of men’s shoes sold in Kenneth Cole stores include traditional patent leather designs (i.e. laced up and slip-on oxfords) as well as contemporary textured animal skin designed shoes. One of the most exotic of men’s shoes sold in these stores includes the tapered-toe loafer made from genuine eel and/or python and calf lining.
The Kenneth Cole label also carries a wide selection of women’s footwear as well such as wedged shoes, sandals, pumps, and slingbacks (shoes with strap in back of heel). Most of these shoes are made with leather or suede uppers as well as genuine leather lining.
The styles of women’s Kenneth Cole shoes are considered very sophisticated and perhaps very representative of the powerful women executive’s lifestyle. This particular label also carries a wide selection of practical everyday flats for the busy woman (i.e. for summer there is the suede upper line of thong-like sandals in a variety of bright or dark colors).
They also sell plenty of different accessories for all occasions. For instance, they sell a variety of different styles of watches and jewelry that is appropriate to wear at different times and different places.
One of the most well-known Kenneth Cole accessories of this category is the line of Kenneth Cole Reaction Watches for both men and women. Most of the reaction watches have a wide leather strap and wide clock face, which is usually of a square shape, but sometimes the face is circle or oval.
Other Miscellaneous (But Important) Kenneth Cole Accessories
Other Kenneth Cole accessories include different styles of handbags. Two of the most popular would probably be the East/West bag and the Reaction handbag. This label also has produced diaper bags, purses, and other miscellaneous practical items.
