Studs Add a Rocker Glam Edge to Clutch Handbags
Jul 10, 2009 / Posted in Handbags by Shannon Mahoney.
Infuse a little rock glam into your look with a studded clutch handbag. This trend combines black leather of various textures with stud details for added embellishment with an edge. We are loving the various applications of chrome and even black on black studs.The “Moto” clutch from Botkier resembles a mini biker jacket translated into a clutch with its zippers, studs and flyaway tasseled zipper pulls. The Kettle peace clutch sends a summer of love vibe with a peace sign onto an envelope design with zipper closure.
Taking studs to the max, Sonia Rykiel covers one entire side of her clutch with circular studs and tops it off with a tassel zipper pull. The Burberry studded plates clutch is a bit more subtle with an elongated zip clutch touting black on black studs for a more subtle translation of this handbag trend. The Treesje London clutch combines shiny patent leather and touts a cool graphic edge with randomly placed round flat studs. Pair any of these studded clutches with a pair of destroyed skinny jeans, loose oversized tee and cage sandals for cutting edge look. Or to dress up your evening look, a LBD would complement a black leather studded clutch as well.

What about the Rebecca Minkoff Stud Rocker or Stud Roadie?
I love this trend! Bring it on. It’s the perfect way for me to do the rocker thing.
LOVE the Sonia Rykiel and the Botkier Moto!
The Botkier Moto is one of the coolest cross-bodies I have ever seen — Botkier does it again!
Yay studs!!
I lovee that studs are gonna be soo hot this fall. Studded clutch with studded ankle boots soo rocker chiccc.
Some of the studded bags I’ve seen are cute – others just boring or tacky even.
It depends on the style of the bag/cluth & how the studs are displayed. Alot of the studded clutches are looking the same (dispersed studs over a plain zip-up clutch)
