I’m not sure it’s the beauty that its name suggests, but there is something very appealing about this slate gray Bella hobo from Ellington.
The Bella’s beauty is more Cate Blanchett than Beyonce. There’s a subtlety to it; the glazed leather gives it a hint of gloss, but there are no frills or bows to make us drool. It’s not overly feminine, but there’s a refined charm about its chocolatey leather trim and polished hardware.
It’s called a hobo, but the Bella has more structure than most bags of this ilk. That’s a positive in my books, as it won’t fold in on itself when you’re trying to access your precious cargo. There’s plenty of room for that load too, with two slip pockets, a zippered pocket, and a key clip complementing the slip pocket up front.
The regular handles are too short for my tastes, so I’m thrilled that Ellington has included a longer strap. This is fully adjustable, so you can use the Bella as a shoulder bag or cross-body depending on your mood.
At $189, this hobo is well priced for such an elegant everyday purse.
