At $250, you're paying for distinctive design and intentional construction rather than a brand name—the beaded approach and proportions aren't commodity pieces.
The STAUD Tommy is a structured shoulder bag made of plastic beads with leather trim—a statement piece that's equal parts sculptural and wearable for anyone who wants their bag to do the talking.

This isn't your standard tote—it's a beaded architectural statement that sits somewhere between art object and practical shoulder bag.
STAUD specializes in unexpected material combinations, and the Tommy leans fully into that: plastic beads form the body while leather piping and a satin lining keep things grounded and intentional.
The beads give the bag a three-dimensional texture and subtle shimmer that reads as handcrafted even though it's structured. That leather trim isn't just detail—it's function, framing the fold-over flap and handling the stress points. Satin inside keeps your things safe from the bead texture.
This is a slim, compact shoulder bag—not a tote, not a clutch, but that goldilocks width that fits under your arm. The 9-inch handle drop lets it sit comfortably at your side, and at under a pound, it won't drag. The magnetic fold-over flap plus interior zip pocket means your phone and keys don't tumble around inside.
Three separate pockets keep things organized without bulk. The slip back pocket is perfect for a phone you want quick access to, the interior zip secures smaller items, and the structured shape means the bag holds its form even when empty.
