The new Maria Sharapova Collection for Cole Haan

In an interview with Style List, Sharapova elaborated on her excitement about the project:

"Designing has been a great new component of my life. I'm known as a tennis player, but collaborating with Cole Haan is an opportunity that I am excited to embrace. I love the creative process, from the initial sketches to seeing the final product."
The mini collection of satchels, clutches, hobos, boots, heels and ballet flats is not overwhelmingly original, but I like what I'm seeing here. The prices aren't too bad either. The bags range from $248 to $428, while the shoes are priced between $138 and $328.

“Cole Haan Sporting proves that fashion and technology can work together to change the way women think about and wear sport-inspired product,” said the 21-year-old. “I look forward to working with Cole Haan to bring new innovations to this leading fashion brand with such a rich history.”
