Kendall Conrad

Fifth-generation Californian Kendall Conrad started her eponymous handbag line 10 years ago, crafting timeless shapes from supple leathers, each with an instant heirloom quality. The former model, who grew up in Santa Barbara and now calls L.A. home, has an outpost at the Brentwood Country Mart. Conrad spent chunks of her youth in Spain and Mexico with her father, who had been a bullfighter before he became an author, and credits the ceremony and the details of the costumes as inspiring her designs. Since launching the bag collection — sizes range from envelope bags to carryalls — Conrad has expanded to offer an array of brass jewelry and other leather accessories.
