Obviously, I jumped on the “studded bag” wagon, since it is all the rage right now. I don’t normally wear studded stuff, not even jeans. However, when I look at this Tylie Malibu Rose bag, I’m pretty sure that I can pull this look off.
I love how the lines of studs are concentrated on the flap. It gives the bag the right amount of edginess without overcrowding the bag. The three dimensional studs also add a little bit more texture compared to the regular two dimensional studs.
Surprisingly, in a world where everything affordable is made in China, this bag is actually made in the USA. There are not many bags at this price range that are made in the USA. If you like this bag you better get it now before the brand becomes too popular and starts making its bags in China. Not that I have anything against things that are made in China. I believe that China can make good quality products if they want to. The problem is only when they don’t want to.
In conclusion, I’m giving this bag two thumbs up for its design and price.
