Temperly London Shoulder Bag with Studs, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

A pretty, structured bag in a nice shade of blue that's somewhere between navy and periwinkle, the studs are what really give this Temperly London design most of its personality. Small for a shoulder bag it's still big enough to hold essentials during the day while being small enough to transfer seamlessly into a casual evening scene. The bag is made of 100% leather except for the studs, hardware, and delicate ribbon detailing on the front flap in black and cream tones, and the entire thing hinges on a large bar that runs along the top. Popper fastening and interior zip pocket, £475.

Love Studs? Who Doesn't.

Filed under: Apparel

The stud. A term that references a fashion staple that includes countless varieties in different colors, shapes, and sizes but that always have at least one thing in common: exuding toughness. Of course that probably comes from their association with ancient fighters and gladiators wearing them into battle, but nowadays they can be found on everything from suede evening bags to luxe golden rings to sky-high stilettos. And whether you like studs large and tough or dainty and delicate, there's something out there for every appetite. See a little of what I found in the gallery below.

Halston Allen Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This Allen Medium Satchel by Halston looks like a smaller bag was eaten by a larger bag but put up a good fight. Slouchy black leather sides and straps (looks more like charcoal gray to me) combine with black suede side panels and silver stud details that look like a sprinkling of stars on a dark night sky. A very casual but chic style in classic colors and materials for a trendy look that doesn't scream too loud. Studded shoulder rest on the strap, a zip-top closure, and a matching lined interior with pocket round out the design. $2,195

'Stud Devote' Belted Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Looking for a handbag with that bad-girl studded vibe? The Rebecca Minkoff 'Stud Devote' Belted Tote has studs galore, rows and rows of them, handplated and placed on rich Italian leather. This color, which I think absolutely glows next to the gold studs, is called "Papaya" and will easily take you fashionably all the way through summer and into the fall. Magnetic top closure, lots of interior pockets, and protective metal feet round out this useful tote (plus if the bright orange isn't your thing it also comes in brown). $695

Michael Kors Skorpios Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Michael Kors has put out some great, large bags this season and the Skorpios Hobo is no exception. Though classified as a hobo and not as a tote, the bag actually falls somewhere in between the two styles. It has a single shoulder strap, attached with clips at either end, and an unstructured open top for easy access to the bag's contents. It is made of supple calfskin and available in both black and brown. The black bag has tarnished silver studs and hardware, while the brown has gold. All the studs are uniquely shaped as small pyramids, which lends them an unusually geometric look that complements the slouchy style of the bag. Price: $1,195.
