PRADA Studded Bags ----!

Prada's new studded / metal appliqued bags are gorgeous.

Depending on the colour-metal combination 

they can give a western-cowboy vibe 

like this ochre + gold one w/ shooting stars..

Prada - cahier leather shoulder bag

..Or an early 90s Versace vibe w/ black + gold:

Versace campaign w/ childhood favourite Christy Turlington in 1992

(Christy just turned 49 btw!)

OR a circus/mardi gras energy w/ purple + gold...

Or MY two favourite combinations: 
Black + silver for a motorcycling vibe

...and the slightly tacky but beautiful in a bad way White + Gold!

Which reminds me of 1970s Elvis

(he died in '77)

All the above Cahier shoulder bag styles run at approx $2,800 CAD

Then there is also this pastel pink style below which

is also very beautiful:

Prada - galleria saffiano leather bag
