Whiting & Davis has been making classy metal mesh handbags for quite a while now, but the brand seems to be taking its signature look in a new direction as of late. I, for one, am enjoying the interesting designs that are coming out of the process.
This Studded Fold-Over bag is just one of a few recent styles from the brand that seem to exemplify the slight change. Similar to the contemporary look of the Whiting & Davis Crystal Stud Clutch or the Lizzy Clutch, the Studded Fold-Over blends together an interesting mix of materials.
With this design, it’s brass mesh, patent croc-embossed leather, and metallic studs. If you ask me, that’s quite a shift from the vintage-inspired clutches for which this brand is most well-known. I’d even call this a little rock-and-roll, which is definitely a change in the type of adjectives I tend to use for the label’s bags.
This fold-over style is great for taking a gal from day to night by switching quickly from shoulder bag to clutch simply by adding or detaching the strap. Because of the shiny and glossy materials used on the handbag, you’ll be somewhat limited in where you can carry it during the day. However, either style that the Studded Fold-Over converts to is appropriate for nighttime events.
