# 3D-Printed Purses This Studded Leather Handbag is Infused with Selective Lasering Technology By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-08-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studded-leather-handbag References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/156887180/leather-and-3d-printed-bag?ref=listing-shop-header-1) Combining two very different textures and materials, this studded leather handbag features stunning features made using high-tech 3D printing technology. Called Selective Laser Sintering, the process of creating the outer layer of the bag allows the designer to go wild and truly express his own inspirations and ideas into a tangible medium. Made using TPU, the mesh-like attachment is highly flexible and durable, protecting the luxuriously plush leather that makes up the interior segment of the purse, while also adding dimension and [crystallized studs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-swipe) all along the sides.
