We’ve written about Bags In The Wild’s fabulous line of City bags so many times that it just can’t be counted. They’re just shaped so well – they look easy and effortless, everything that a proper blase hipster or uptown girl wants to be. And this latest version is also miniature, like the Get In Touch Shallow Obsessing Strongly Encouraged. Since 2005.
But what’s newer and edgier about this Foley + Corinna is that it’s studded – but only slightly. Rather than just taking the same road as many handbag designers by splashing studs all over their bags, this bag does it sparingly and in an innovative manner. The studs function as the bag’s hinges, which makes them look utilitarian but in the most glam way possible, of course.
In short, this is the most sophisticated City Tote that I’ve seen made – it takes the classic shape and twists it just a tiny bit by adding the gold pyramid stud hinges and gives shape by adding subtle stitching. Well, played Bags In The Wild. Le Teckel shoulder bag Bloomingdale’s for $245.
You’re right, having the studs as a hinge adds that bit of glamour. Although the bag itself is not really catching my eye, the idea is creative.

I like the “less is more” approach to studs.
