Should I dare stud my bag Alexander Wang DIY style??

It could turn out good, or it could turn out bad. Personally, I’d be scared out of my mind that I’d mess it up, but if you really want to, you should.

Personally I wouldn’t cause I’m not that good. But if you feel confident, go for it!

I would do it. As long as you’re not spending a lot of money on the bag, it’s worth the try. I did it on a thrifted leather bag and it turned out fine. Just take your time doing it and it should come out good.

I don’t think the woven pattern in the leather would look good with studs. The pattern is nice enough on it’s own, studs would be too much.

If you really like it, go for it! but not on an expensive bag in case you mess up. I personally don’t like the alexander wang bag that much to begin with

better do a trial first

yeah I would say like… glue stick them on first and see if it looks good before you poke holes. if not, glue sticks are totally washable.

Well if you know what you’re doing, go for it.

Although if you’ve never done anything like it before, I’d practice on something else first.

Thanks guys! I’ve studded jeans & vests before, but NEVER on leather… poking holes in leather does scare me so I probably might do the gluing thing on first to see if I like it. If I really get it done then I’ll prob post a picture up :) Thanks again everyonee

NOOOOO! I mean, it is Alexander Wang, girl! I say that if you really, really, really want to, go for it! But if you are feeling a little risky, then don’t, because you could ruin it.

Is there someone professional that could do it, so nothing happens to it?

go for it! make sure the material is sturdy enough

I wouldn’t do it on a woven bag. And do it on a cheaper bag first. No more than $40, or do it to an old bag you don’t like as much. That way if you mess up you won’t feel so stupid.

I would do it on an old or cheap bag before venturing on. I’ve learned from experience that even the best/most practiced (in theory) plans end up going haywire on the first few tries. Also, it would be good to know what you’re going to do as much as you can beforehand if you decide to do it. Sketch out a simple diagram, even if you’re following the tutorial to the letter. It helps to work through the process before starting, even if it’s just on paper. (Or do whatever you want, writing works too. I’m an art student so I live and breathe sketching and it works for me.)

You should definitely try it! I agree that you should try on an old/cheap bag before buying a brand new one like the one you linked- just in case it goes wrong or you decide you don’t like it!! However personally I would try it on a bag that is plain, not woven. would love to see how it turns out!

I agree with everyone else, thrift a trial bag, if you find yourself skillfull and you really love it, go for it!

i think you should go for it! its going to look great but practice on a clutch or wallet first.. its going to look fab (:

I think if you think you could do a good job and you’ve had experience, then do it – but if it’s your first time, I say hold out firrst! Personally, I wouldn’t because I am not crafty! ; p hehe.

if u really have doubts.. wait it out until you get bored of the purse.. and once its about to go into the abyss of your closet.. stud it up
