Blame it on your three-year bout with braces: You’ve never been a hardware kind of girl. (You’re not much of a software one, either. But that’s a different matter.)

Still, E.D.E. Studio handbags may change your mind. The line of leather carryalls, designed by a mother and daughter-in-law team, are adorned with touches like grommets, rings, and buckles — but they’re amazingly feminine and easy to wear.

The hefty Savannah tote tempers the effect of multiple studs with delicate gathers; the little zipper clutch is petite enough not to overwhelm with its big brass ring; and the roomy Buccaneer features rough, organic edges and hand-laced leather for an urban-warrior meets home-on-the-range look. The bags come in a range of colors both traditional (black, chestnut) and adventurous (wine, slate, dark green) and are made from the finest Italian leather.

Definitely making them the next accessory you’ll really want to sink your teeth into.
