A short and sweet review of my new studded Topshop bag

Studs are in. They are everywhere, from knitwear to blouses, jewellery and dress detailing. Luckily for me I adore the stud trend. For quite some time I had been looking for a black studded bag on the high street. As I am working with a nurses salary, I only commit myself to a designer bag if it is a timeless piece and not a current trend. Luckily for me I found the Topshop Geo Stud Holdall. Once again Topshop comes to the rescue! For those of you who do not know me, myself and Topshop have been in a long, at times expensive relationship for 9 years now (since I was 14). At a price of £40 I felt that it was now time to jump on the studded bag bandwagon. Here are a couple of pictures to give you an idea of the bags size compared to me (please excuse my roots and messy hair/face I had just finished a night shift and  was frazzled).


Why I love this bag:
  • This bag is a fantastic size it fits all my essentials and more in. It would be a great college bag and would fit folders/books. The height is 29cm and width is 38cm. It also has compartments and pockets in the inside. As I am only 5"2 it is important that my big bags are not bigger than me.
  • Although the bag is not leather (sniff sniff) it does look and feel high quality. It is made from Polyurethane. People have mistaken it for designer and seem surprised that it is from good old Toppers.
  • It does have a leather feel to it and the material is very soft.
  • It instantly smartens up any outfit and looks chic worn over the arm in true Blair Waldorf style.
  • It keeps all my belongings dry in the rain now, this is a very important point here in rainy Edinburgh.
  • It is very "current" as I am slave to fashion this is important to me.
  • The stud detailing is very neat and well done.
My only criticism about this bag is regarding the shoulder strap.I  find when worn over the shoulder it pulls the bag at a slightly strange angle and can make the bag looked runched together. However it is such a minor issue the benefits of the bag overshadows this.The bag is available from www.topshop.com 

Love Abi xx
