Kooba Molly Shoulder Tote Bag | Soft Pleated Leather Handbag

Posted on: Dec 29

With its buttery leather finish and sweeping pleats, the Molly Shoulder Bag is a lot like Kooba's Hope clutch, only bigger.

Just like the Hope, the appeal comes from that combination of oh-so-soft leather and modern diagonal pleats. The angular folds are edgy, especially in this metallic gray, but they're softened by the luxury skin. The same relaxed look is adopted on the strap, but I'm not sure it works as well there. But once you sling the wide, comfy handle over your shoulder, I'm certain you'll forget all about the aesthetics!

The Molly offers a more practical layout than the Hope clutch, and well it should for almost twice the price! The extra space is a given, but this shoulder bag has the features to match. We've almost come to expect a zippered pocket and two open pouches, but Kooba doesn't stop there. The dog leash clip takes care of your keys, while another skinny pocket is perfect for pens. Look closely and you'll also see a zippered pocket and open compartment hidden in the exterior pleats.

Kooba's taken what we loved about the Hope and given it a daytime makeover. She might not suit the red carpet, but the Molly is still one stylish and sensible number.
