The Reflection from Donald J Pliner takes the hobo out of the hippie era and into the 21st century.
With only a hint of slouch, this is a much more structured looking bag than most hobos. While that may disappoint hobo purists, I think it makes it a more versatile choice. Most hobos really only suit streetwear and long music festivals, but this wouldn’t look out of place when carried to the office or a dinner date. The patent leather finish, in conservative beige or black, only adds class to this sophisticated purse.
I also appreciate the minimalist design. The embossed logo on the front pocket is a discreet homage to the designer. The shape is simplistic too. The shoulder strap is the star for me. The link and band design is so unusual, but practicality hasn’t been forgotten. It’s more than an aesthetic element with its generous 7.5 inch drop.
The playfully printed lining, with its peace signs and boots, is in delicious contrast to the reserved exterior. While Donald J Pliner has fun here, the label remembers the things we need. Zip and slip pockets are on hand to make organization a breeze.
For $225, the Reflection hobo makes a great option for girls still searching for a reliable go-to purse.
