I was recently sold on the whole “studded bag” trend, but I’m still a bit apprehensive. Before I saw the Linea Pelle Dylan Medium Tote, I hadn’t come across a single studded bag that I’d actually wear. This I would, for a bevy of reasons.

For me, many studded bags just seem way too over-the-top, and a little dangerous for my palm in the case of studded clutches. But this tote has minimal yet well-placed studding; it wraps around the base of the bag and staples on the top and base of the strap, connecting the straps to the bag. Even better, the hardware and zippers are the same light gold shade as the rounded studs, flowing the design throughout the tote.

The combination of zippers and studs isn’t overly rocker as one might expect, but it serves as a welcome juxtaposition to the buttery, almost softly wrinkled Italian leather; the rough shininess of the studs and jaggedness of the zipper adds a casual touch to that leather. The final, favorite touch of mine comes by way of a removable shoulder strap that, if worn, allows the heavy straps to flop forward over the bag, creating a coolly effortless look. Buy through Linea Pelle for $425.

LOVE this one! So much so, I purchased it

(of course it was BEFORE my ban).

because I bought an LP last week, on a whim... and damn near fainted over the LEATHER QUALITY of a bag this price.

SOFT... THICK... SMOOSHY washed/distressed Italian leather.... and sturdy hardware.... comparable to OLDER Bal & Chloe leather. Nice construction, sturdy weighted hardware and thick brass zippers. I stood w/ my mouth OPEN.

LP does have the leather and the quality to give many of the big dogs a run for their money. They simply need more colors, more styles. DO NOT be afraid to give this brand a GO!

I am so curious about how great their leather is as it has soooooo much hype. I can't wait to get my hands on the bags at a store, but I will not buy one because so far, none of their designs do anything for me.

I just recently got the LP Dylan Zip Tote and I am totally surprised. The leather is amazing. So thick and smooshy. I love it. This definitely will not be my last LP purchase.

Me neither. But that doesn't mean I don't want to touch it! I want to see and feel the leather too. It must be yummy! I'm all over "thick and smooshy" leather. Must... touccchh!
