Ahh… studs, they’re so in right now. You find them embellishing almost anything, including outerwear, denim, jewelry, and Diane von Furstenberg’s latest, the Philomena Stud Clutch.

We all know what detail takes the show on this piece, but going beyond the studs, you’ll find rose pink metallic leather whose texture appears crackled and glimmery. Right off the bat, it’s metallic, and we all know how fairly timeless our metallic accessories can be. Moving on to its structure, I love how this isn’t your typical itty-bitty clutch where you’ll find yourself cramming your essentials into. The main compartment is actually the entire clutch opened vertically, while the fold over front flap is more for show. Does anybody really want to carry a vertically structured clutch anyways, (think Foley + Corinna Bar Clutch Bag). I think this DVF is cute and semi-girly with a rocker chic edge to it. Ladies what’s your input on the Philomena clutch?

Some rows of stud up front, a couple of studs in the back and more than plenty of gold plated hardware, found everywhere. Measuring in at 6.5” x 11” x 1”, shop Diane von Furstenberg via the Internet at: shopbop.com
