The glinting silver spikes keeping this bag secure on your shoulder make it an irresistible object of envy. No one can grab it away, but everyone will want to. The hardcore shoulder-strap is detailed with enough artfully arranged studs to act as a perfect collar when detached from the slinky silver chain that connects it to this high-end gunmetal python purse. The bag’s catch is framed by a discreet layer of black patent leather and the snakeskin’s quality is equally polished. It is an ideal accessory for a rock-chick ensemble or to toughen up more a demure outfit. Christian Louboutin named this bag Artemis because its spikes are sharp as arrows; it’s made for a true urban huntress.
