Via TheGloss.com: Lust Object: Be & D New Garbo Tote.

“Accessories are always better when they have a little bit of a kick to them. That’s why this light blue tote is even cuter with studs on it – the pastels are a great contrast with the metal. It’s just the right amounts of hard and soft, feminine and masculine, gentle and edgy.”

Concur. Am presently lusting, and will be commencing search for knockoffs ASAP.
