Marc Jacob’s diffusion line is one of the best around, with on trend handbags that don’t cost the earth. The Flash Kelsey hobo is another great addition to his affordable collection.
Don’t let its name mislead you; the Flash Kelsey isn’t really as flashy as it sounds. In fact, as bags with exposed zips go, this one’s pretty tame. The zippers haphazardly go this way and that, but with its simple hobo shape the Flash Kelsey doesn’t seem especially cutting edge. It’s modern, but not so contemporary as to date quickly. The soft distressed leather is only going to look better as it ages, so this really is a bag you can happily carry for many years.
The Flash Kelsey is a good size for everyday use; it’s big but not so big that it’ll feel unwieldy. The interior is also made for daily punishment too, with its strong twill lining and reinforced leather trimmed pockets.
The strap only adds to that everyday appeal. Here you see it doubled over and the Flash Kelsey in shoulder bag mode. But unclip it and extend it out and you’ve got a cross-body purse.
All that for just $358? I think Marc Jacobs has another winner on his hands.
