Moschino Cheap & Chic Borsa Tracolla Shoulder Bag | Black Leather Rocker Hobo With Floppy Bow Details

Posted on: May 18

I've always felt a little resentful about Moschino's Cheap & Chic moniker. I mean, it's usually chic, but rarely cheap. It might be less expensive than their usual fare, but it's still a high end designer line with high end designer prices. But, despite my resistance to their somewhat ironic title, I really like the cool twists that the line puts on traditional Italian tailoring.

This Borsa Tracolla Shoulder Bag is a fabulous addition to the collection. It has basically everything I want in a handbag: black leather, zippers, and bows. Now that might sound easy to come by, but it's not. The combination of bows and black leather is rare and fabulous.

I also really adore the shape of this bag. It's a hobo, but one that is structured enough that it can stand up on its own. The super thick leather handle will be comfortable no matter how much you stuff into this bag. And at 20" x 10" x 5", that could be quite a lot. And the floppy black bows add a touch of femininity to a super edgy bag.

The exterior zippers aren't just for show, either. They open onto zipper pockets perfect for stowing little things that you need to get to quickly, like your keys and subway card. The full zip top closure along the top will keep your valuable safely tucked away.

What can I say? I just love this bag. I only wish I could afford it. But at $1,047, it just isn't what I consider cheap.
