Are Studded Handbags All the Rage?
I think they are, but of course I might be a little biased! When I first designed our Nikki studded handbag, the first thing I wanted to do was NOT over-style it! Second, was not to cover it in studs, so the leather could shine and play just as an important role as the studs. It was meant to be...

It's already the end of the first week in January, and if you're anything like me this year you still haven't made your New Year resolutions yet, at least not officially!
