With a smattering of modern studs, Anne Klein converts this rather plain tote into a contemporary fashion statement.
Unlike many designers who seem to OD on the metal accents, Anne Klein keeps things subtle by placing the studs only at the top of the purse. She keeps us guessing with the mixture of brass and silver studs, big and small ones, textured and plain. It’s a funky new take on the trend which I think really pays off.
Other than the studs, there’s nothing too unexpected here. The leather is top quality, and as with most Anne Klein creations its available in a mix of conservative shades and more surprising tones. This ruby red tote is particularly fetching for fall. Anne Klein’s famous lion motif appears on a metal plate near the base of the bag, proudly boasting the brand’s heritage without appearing too obtrusive.
I do appreciate a bag with a large zippered center pocket. By separating the tote into three sections, organization is made easy even for the most scatterbrained stylistas amongst us. Zippered pockets in both side walls complement an open cell phone pouch and the zippered pocket we saw underneath those stylish studs.
At $188, this Anne Klein purse is an affordable quality way to indulge in the latest studded trend.
