Melie Bianco All Over Studs Flap Over Bag | Burgundy Synthetic Leather Hobo

Posted on: Oct 23

This All Over Studs Flap Over handbag from Melie Bianco has a bit of an equestrian vibe about it, which is a fashion trend I'm currently rather excited.

Although not a traditional saddle bag in its truest definition, this casual hobo's double buckled detail on the bottom of the front flap definitely reminds me of the style. The handbag's somewhat relaxed shape is kept in line by the flap instead of looking sloppy.

Following a pattern quite characteristic of handbag fashion right now, the front flap of this Melie Bianco design is covered in small studs varying in size and color. I'm not always a fan of the mix-and-match studded look, but this one I like. It's not overdone in a way that makes you think it'll take over an outfit or clash with other studded details you might be wearing at the same time.

The random pattern gives this somewhat simple-looking hobo a contemporary twist. Thankfully, though, the feature does not continue to the back of the purse where it might become too much. Instead, it adds a touch of edginess to the design and leaves it at that.

The flap opens to reveal a zippered closure with an interior lined in Melie Bianco's signature polka dot satin. The All Over Studs Flap Over hobo, also known as the W9-327 style, retails for $98.
