The studinator is in da house. You think you are cool, WRONG. You are not cool unless you rock out the studs. It is totally 'in' to be totally punk rocker. We have been seeing studs thrown about here and there, but only one other time like this. Upon first glance, I 'knew' who the designer of this bag was. But I was totally wrong. This is not a Marc Jacobs studded bag, this is the Mulberry Studded Hobo Bag which gives a new meaning to stud detailing. I get it, I get that studs are so BAMF (BAMF is the new cool kid acronym, I am sure you can figure it out :wink: ). But this studding is scary if you ask me. The tassel on the side, which hangs down incredibly low and stands out incredibly much, is lined with chunky gold studs. Literally, the tassel looks like a war weapon the Spartans would use. I would not mind seeing a Spartan, in his Spartan attire, carrying the tassel, but other than that, it is really just scary. The materials are all right, cream patent leather, gold hardware, suede lining, but the overall product is all wrong. Good luck getting through a security check point with this sucker. I am tagging this bag a fug bag, but it is not necessarily fugly, it is downright scary. Studs gone wrong via NAP for $1595.

i like this one more than the black one i saw!

Yeah, I don't like it. It's definitely on the scary side, but it would be cute without the tassle and the studs, haha.

I think it is very derivative of other bags -- studs like MJ made giant like the Bal Geant, grommets and straps around the top like JC and studded tassels like Gucci's spring line.

the mulberry for giles studded clutches are cute but this bag is a bit much.

Looks like the perfect accessory for a female gladiator

It reminds me of the studs that you see on Rottweiler collars.

ValleyO · May 3rd, 2007, 05:58 PM

It's definitely an agressive bag, if there is such a thing.

patois · May 3rd, 2007, 09:48 PM

I knew I was missing another "homage" -- the hook closure is a copy of the Dior Rebelle. But then it is sold out now on NAP so someone must like it.

The giant studs remind me of the MJ bag (I think) that Cameron Diaz carries around.

There IS such a thing as an aggressive handbag Valleyoppressed- you called this one right!

SuLi · May 7th, 2007, 01:18 PM

It looks like a mix of the MJ punk line and the JC Ramona bag. Weird.
