Lady Gaga Adds Studs to Hermes Handbag

It’s one trend that’s been everywhere this past year: studded handbags. Of course, when we spot many of these handbags, the studs are added in an orderly fashion. As a result, one of these purses appears to have either a western or punk rock style. For the latter of these two, however, keeping the look orderly becomes somewhat of an oxymoron, especially as punk, or even the rocker chic look, is never about order and following the rules. But, how many celebrities actually have the gall to alter their own handbags?

Lady Gaga, apparently, does. This isn’t much of a surprise and, although we haven’t covered much about her fashion on this blog (unlike her outfits, she is rarely seen with an interesting handbag), she has recently made news in regards to a Hermes Birkin bag she was carrying. While several celebrities carry Birkin handbags for their tote-meets-hobo style, Lady Gaga altered hers with several studs added to the body of the bag. The studs, all attached to the black leather at random, give the bag a punk look and shows how studded leather should be done. In fact, compared to the solid black of Gaga’s outfit, the handbag ends up standing out.

Of course, this isn’t Lady Gaga’s first time altering a Hermes Birkin bag. A few months ago, she was photographed with another Hermes bag, only this time the bag had Japanese characters written on it by a Sharpie marker. While Lady Gaga can create her own style based on the trends of the moment, putting studs on your black leather handbag may end up being a painstaking process. Instead, find a studded leather handbag, such as this one from Best Handbag Wholesale, that meets your taste with one of the most popular styles of the moment.
