Bolingo Bags Hobo

Bolingo Bags HoboFair trade handbag label Bolingo Bags has just released a new holiday collection to celebrate the end of 2010. The purses feature exotic skins in playful, seasonal shades.

There’s no better way for the discriminating woman to enhance her holiday look than with an ostrich and crocodile handbag in a rich shade of bronze or cypress green, an elegant metallic platino or stunning iris blue,” explained Bolingo Bags’ designer Susan Todd.

The new collection features a new green version of Bolingo’s famous Outback bag, which is spacious enough to suit holiday vacations or overnight stays with the in-laws. There’s also a silvery clamshell clutch ready for those office Christmas parties and holiday balls, and a pretty almond colored hobo crafted from authentic ostrich skin.

I know many fashionistas shun the use of exotic skins, but at least the ones from Bolingo Bags are sustainably harvested. They’re also handcrafted by South African artisans working under fair trade conditions.

Bolingo translates to love in the African dialect Lingala, which seems befitting because I think I’m falling hard for these purses! If you are too, you can order them online through the Bolingo Bags website.
