Chocolate Danielle Hobo | Red Synthetic Handbag with Studded Handle

Posted on: Dec 9

Chocolate Danielle Hobo A smattering of studs and gemstones brings a glamorous edge to Chocolate's classic Danielle Hobo.

While it doesn't have the crescent shape of the first hobos, its slouchy finish makes it look much closer to a hobo than many modern incarnations. The relaxed silhouette makes the Danielle perfect for everyday use. But everyday doesn't mean boring, thanks to the details on the handle.

Here Chocolate's gone all out, adding gemstones and studs for some serious glitz. It might still prove too much for conservative fashionistas, but by restricting the accents to the handle I think Chocolate gets away with its bold decorations. It's just a shame they're not applied better. Customers report that their gems have fallen off before too long, so it might be worth stashing some super glue inside!

The Danielle is enormous, but its cleverly designed interior ensures it never feels unmanageable. A large zippered envelope runs down the center of the main compartment, dividing it into three easy to use sections. Its wall pockets should last regular use as they're bordered by thick synthetic.

It's that synthetic that sees the Danielle priced at an affordable $105. Fashion snobs may feel the material's a compromise they can't bear making, but this hobo still represents great value.
