At the PGA Merchadise Show, golf apparel and accessories were not in short supply. One company that really stood apart in the golf bags and accessories category, had to be Keri Golf in my opinion. At my visit to the booth, I was blown away at the quality and fantastic patterns that embody the latest collection of golf bags and accessories, with great accents and attention to details.
The golf bags and accessories from Keri Golf are not your typical pink golf bag, instead they have great patterns and prints, that remind you of something that Kate Spade or Tory Burch would make. Influenced by modern American style, the matty collection combines a chic palette of red, black and white with exaggerated geometric prints – including stripes, ovals and florals.
A few of my favorite pieces from the 2009 Keri Golf ’matty’ Collection included:
Cart Bags (MSRP: $375)
The cart bag’s fashionable appeal is matched by functionality in features that include a large pocket to store shoes and rain gear, an umbrella holder and two additional side pockets. Also of note is keri golf’s unique, patent-pending shoulder strap system, with a recessed well that keeps the strap in place during a round and provides easier access to the back ball pocket.
The line’s cart bags are further enhanced with easily accessible interior pockets built into the walls of the bag and designed to hold wallets, cell phones, tees and balls. What I really loved about the cart bags is the use of patent leather accents on the strap and buckles, giving the cart bag an extra touch of style and durability.Available in a variety of patterns and colors, the cart bag family includes amanda, quinn, eaton, griffing, peyton, candace, dinah, eva, meredith, grace.
Stand Bags (MSRP: $299.99)
keri golf’s stand bag highlights include six internal compartments, an insulated storage space to keep snacks and drinks cold, external tee holders, an umbrella holder, matching chocolate brown legs and a protective leg strap. For extra comfort, the stand bags include a lumbar back pad and additional center D-rings to convert the adjustable double strap to a single strap. Just like the cart bags, the stand bags are equally as stylish and fun. A refreshing departure from the typical ladies golf bag. Available in the same patterns and colors as the cart bags, the stand bag family includes kelsey, corey, pembroke, jill, bess, haley, eleanor, tina, annie, heather.
Shuttle Duffel (MSRP: $375)
A centerpiece of the new line, the shuttle duffel is a sleek, stylish overnight bag crafted from white patent leather. Ideal for a weekend getaway, the duffel offers five external compartments and a spacious interior with a specially designed shoe pocket. Its chic silhouette is finished with navy zipper tapes and silver zipper teeth. The Shuttle Duffel is my favorite pieces in the collection, not only is it stylish, its 100% functional. My wife would have no problem using this bag as my overnight bag, she love’s it so much.
Bucket Totes (MSRP: $115, $120 – all patent)
For 2009, Murschell has also introduced the bucket tote, a structured, crescent-shaped bag available in classic black and white patterns. These elegant designs are highlighted by patent leather detailing that appears on the handles, side and bottom panels, and a gold-plated keri golf emblem on the front. Additional features of the bucket tote, which also comes in an all-patent version, include two interior zip pockets for valuables and an oversized phone pocket. What’s great about the bucket totes, is that you can use them when your going out to lunch or going to the pool. They don’t scream, this is a golf tote.
If you have a wife or girlfriend who loves fashion and wants a functional golf bag, then get them one of the many great styles from Keri Golf. In my opinion the most stylish golf bags and accessories on the market today.
