Lucky Brand Slouch Medium Hobo Handbag | Affordable Simple Sophisticated Casual Leather Purse

Posted on: Aug 4

Lucky Brand's slouch hobo combines the casual profile we expect from these bags with a new sophisticated attitude.

Slouchy relaxed leather is a hobo trademark, and this purse delivers on that score. But by keeping the design simple, this Lucky Brand bag is more sophisticated than most of its hippie-chic peers. There are no fringes or fanciful features; just a little complementary whipstitching running down the sides.

This decorative stitching is also found on the handle, which is crafted from a lovely contrasting leather. The strap seems short at first glance, but the top of the bag dips low enough that over-the-shoulder carrying won’t be a problem.

Such a deep purse calls for more than just one pocket, but that's all we get here. The zippered pocket is large, but I'd love some slip pouches for my cell phone and iPod. At least there's no shortage of space!

It's rare to find a luxurious leather handbag for less than $200, so it's refreshing to see this one priced at just $158. It's available in a range of conservative shades, and unexpected colors like Purple Passion and Green Iguana.
