When I first saw this studded halo bag, had to ask myself "am I worthy?" Probably not, but decided I've been very good this year and purchased as a Christmas gift for myself. My purchases from Kate Spade tend to be the more iconic styles, and this bag with the silver metal studs (in varying sizes - brilliant) certainly fits that requirement. This bag is late 60's early 70's Italian film star cool. Good size for travel and anything you need to tote around, with KS's customary quality construction. The color is noted as cream, but I would also describe it as winter white. KS does this particular coloration so well, and it works spring, summer, fall or winter. Only one thing wrong with this bag. It will illicit bag-envy, and I have had even strangers want to examine it more closely. The metal studs are like magnets.
