Kathy Van Zeeland cracks me up with her never-ending list of quirky handbag names. There’s the Delicious, the Sexy Back, and now the Hot Stud.
I’m not usually quite sure what it is about each bag that inspires the offbeat names, but this Hot Stud satchel is a little more obvious than some. Van Zeeland’s brand is right on trend with the increasingly popular studded detail that adorns the front and sides of this satchel.
The interesting thing about this use of the trendy feature is that it is not limited to one metallic tone. Instead, the Hot Stud mixes things up with some silvery and some brass-like tones combined in a random, almost-haphazard sort of way down the front panel of the bag. I keep thinking that there must be some hidden logo or other lettering in the positioning of the colors, but I’ve yet to find one. It appears that the detail is just random for the sake of being different, and I kind of like that.
Like many satchels in the under-$100 price range, this one is not real leather. The brown synthetic is a nice color, though, as well as the other neutral options. No Kathy Van Zeeland design is complete without a bold piece of logo hardware, though. There’s nothing simple or understated about the large heart and crown signature emblem on the front of this satchel. It’s even more expected for the brand’s bags than a unique name.
