Kristy Hinze has been a busy girl. Not only supermodel, Sportscraft face and brand ambassador, she can now also add handbag designer to her resume, having designed a sleek handbag 'The Kristy Bag' for Sportscraft.

The limited edition Kristy Bag is being lanched today, with only two hundred units having been made and available exclusively from free standing Sportscraft stores. Kristy Hinze commented "It is such an honour to have a handbag named after you. I was involved in the design of the Kristy Bag from conception right through to production process...The design works equally well for day and night, town and country...I think the Sportscraft customer is going to love the Kristy Bag."

The handbag combines the classic, relaxed aesthetic of Sportscraft with the practicalities of life on the go. Made from 100% Italian nappa leather, the handbag features hand woven panel inserts, individually named plates and internal pockets suitable for holding all the modern essentials such as mobile phone, sunglasses, cosmetics and an i-pod.

The Kristy Bag is available in two delicious colours, latte and slate, and will retail for $399.
