Roxy promises plenty, but with its Spicy hobo it delivers a bag that’s lacking in heat.
Labels set themselves up for failure when they choose such ambitious names for their bags. If you promise us spice, you’d better deliver it! However this hobo is just like so many others with its color-by-numbers approach. Crescent shape, check. Slouchy silhouette, check. Casual boho vibe, check and check. And yawn. There’s nothing wrong with a company taking a traditional approach to design, but when it’s paired with such a glowing name we’re left feeling underwhelmed.
The Spicy certainly isn’t a bad bag. It’s made of synthetic, as we’d expect at this price point, but its pebbled treatment makes it a pretty good leather mimic. It’s thin and not incredibly soft, but from a distance only discerning fashionistas would know the difference. The wrapped handles are also quite stylish, as well as being pretty functional.
The Spicy’s interior has plenty of space, but its single zippered pocket is inadequate for keeping such a large area organized. I hope you know how to keep your items in order, because this bag won’t help you out.
However we never expect the world for $39.50, so those little design niggles are par for the course. But considering its name, I don’t think it’s too demanding to expect a bit more sizzle from this Roxy hobo.
