Those woven handbags we’ve been coveting needn’t cost the earth. Forget about Bottega Veneta and their exorbitantly priced purses for a second and feast your eyes on the Marrakesh Hobo from Elliott Lucca.
The Marrakesh’ intricate woven exterior is every bit as impressive as the big name designer purses. The hobo lives up to its exotic name with a fun and flirty tassel accent. Unlike most hobos, there’s not a lot of slouch to be seen. The structured look lends itself to more formal occasions. Perhaps it wouldn’t suit a red carpet, but you’ll definitely look the part at any chic restaurant.
That structured finish does compromise storage space somewhat. The Marrakesh is nice and wide, but it’s got the sort of slender design which looks great but prohibits bulky cargo. You probably won’t need to leave any essentials behind, but you may need to use your Tetris skills to fit them inside.
The Marrakesh retails for a budget friendly $198. I’ve seen cheaper woven bags, but few utilize genuine leather. The price is impressive, but the color may turn shrinking violets off. Copper dares to be different. While other metallics like gold, silver, and pewter are almost considered neutrals these days, copper is a little brighter and bolder. I love the unexpected pop it provides, but I know many won’t agree with me. Sadly Elliott Lucca hasn’t considered the critics, because copper is the only color available.
