Thomas Wylde Studded Leather Shoulder Bag

The Veneta is Bottega Veneta’s most classic and signature bag. It is simple, utilitarian but ultimately chic. Some find it to be a bit too plain (even though the woven leather should be enough detail for any bag, it is immaculate and eye candy with the tactical texture) so a seasonal variation on the bag, like this confetti (or Plisse) in the maxi (the size makes it more fashion forward) in bright and happy fuscsia is for those looking for function as well as impact. You take texture and layer texture on top of it then make it PINK and what you get is fireworks! I love bringing color to my Fall wardrobe, I mean, isn’t the weather dreary enough? Bright bright bright is what we need. I love this bag so much, I just wish it wasn’t $3450 but if you see the craftsmanship to make this happen, you will appreciate it even more. At Bottega Veneta online.

So, I guess we’re not done with studs just yet. But this one is different in that it is subtle and very feminine. I love the textured whisper gray, such an amazing color for fall (for everything not just bags!) and that line of varied size studs down the center looks like it is supposed to be there instead of just being slapped on at the last minute because studs are in. The signature Thomas Wylde skulls danging down also work seamlessly in with the overall design. The shape is totally utilitarian making this less specific (as in, only when you are in rocker garb) and more everyday. Flirty dress, sweater and jeans, business setting and wild night out – it’s that versatile. At Net-a-Porter for $1960 (yes, I do find this a bit much but you will get much wear out of this).
