Christian Dior Diorita Medium Hobo | Sleek Black Leather Designer Hobo

1 min read

The last things I usually think of when I think of hobo bags are the words “sleek” or “sophisticated”. Not because the women carrying them aren’t those things, but because hobos are usually more slouchy, casual, and bohemian.

But, as usual, Christian Dior is the label that can class up any casual look, and they do a particularly great job on this Diorita Hobo. The hobo shape gets a makeover with structured, but smooth grained, black leather. The thick calfskin and sturdy seaming keep the bag looking structural, rather than mushy and deflated.

While I like the look of this elegant take on the hobo, I do wonder about its comfort. I mean the great thing about a hobo is that you sling this huge bag over your shoulder, and somehow due to the softness of its shape and material, it disappears into your curves. Dior has taken the comfortable, nook-seeking design of the usual hobo and stiffened it up a bit. So, the Diorita might not provide the level of comfort that you are accustomed to in a hobo, but on the other hand, it has a minimalist, almost avant garde charm that most hobos can’t touch.

The other thing I don’t really love about the bag is the enormous dangling “D,” but it is removable. I’m sure a lot of people wouldn’t mind showing off their Dior charm; it’s just me and my non logo loving ways. The Diorita is elegant enough that I think it is going to have a huge appeal for bohemian women looking for something a little more streamlined, and also for women with classic taste looking for something edgier.
