Staud's beaded Tommy bags have always been one of Shawn Wallace's favorite designer accessories. "I love seeing them come out with new colors and designs every few weeks. I’ve had a bit of an addiction if I’m being honest," the New York City-based finance professional tells Marie Claire.
Her infatuation only deepened when an ad for Staud's "Staudine" bag, a Tommy embellished to resemble a tin of sardines, appeared in her feed last summer. She hit "Purchase" and planned to take it to two destination weddings: one in Italy and one in France. "I thought it would be a cute, summery bag that would go with some of the outfits I’d planned out," she says. "It ended up being a total hit."
