I was browsing over Fashion Week photos and came across this picture of Sophia Bush. This was taken when she attended the Diane Von Furstenberg show last February 14:

The bag immediately caught my eye. Quite an enticing piece to look at; very rich in texture and multi-dimensional, the kind that would make you want to run your fingers through its surface.

I found out that this is the Stephanie Hobo from Diane Von Furstenberg’s Spring Collection.

From afar, the bag looks like it is made of a series of small metal chains put together to create a piece of accessory. However, up close it is a whole different story.

What is even more interesting to note is that the material is not metal as you would initially perceive, but metallic leather woven in a chain link manner to create the appearance of such instead.

The technique  is truly fascinating, and if I am not mistaken, relatively new as it is the first I have seen so far. Let’s give Diane Von Furstenberg some credit for coming  up with such an innovative piece. It is like seeing her designing the wrap dress all over again!

The Stephanie Hobo comes in other colors – Metallic Star, Sunset Metallic, and Ocean Metallic:
