CC Skye Olivia Hobo | Chic Convertible Python Embossed Leather Handbag

Posted on: Apr 30

With the Olivia, CC Skye really surprises us. At first glance it's a hobo, with all the slouch we expect but much more style. But that's just the start of the story.

As a hobo this bag is lovely. The soft leather slouches easily, but its gentle python embossed finish makes the Olivia look more elegant than many of its peers. The shiny golden double zip closure and serpentine braided handle only add to the up-market appeal.

Once we open the hobo up we learn how versatile it really is. Wide leather straps are tucked away, ready to help the Olivia become a tote at a moment's notice. I wish we could remove the braided handle to make the look much cleaner, but I appreciate the versatility. It's almost like buying two bags in one!

That's a real selling point here, as the $595 retail price is hardly chump change. Yet it's not unreasonable for a designer handbag of this quality, especially when it's as unique as the Olivia.
