Here’s another installment from B. Makowsky’s collection of handbags named after famous cities around the world. There must be something about Havana and hobos, however, since both 7 For All Mankind and Hayden-Harnett have hobos by the same name.
There’s aren’t too many features that the other brands’ versions share with this Havana N/S hobo bag, though, beyond only slightly similar body styles. This option has a very distinct B. Makowsky flair to it that cannot be denied.
As I’d expect from the label, the hardware is bold and noticeable and the design details are numerous. It’s not quite as flamboyant as some of the brand’s other styles, but there’s a definite “notice me” stamp given to this purse. The already slouchy shape is emphasized by a front pocket with ruching all along the top edge, and strap details call even more attention to the front. Even the sides of the hobo are adorned with silver studs and rings. It’s a little strange how empty the back of the Havana is in comparison to the rest of the bag. Only a small coin pocket dresses up the back, which seems a little underwhelming.
The lipstick red color is certainly not for wallflowers, though, and it’s not your only option for standing out in a crowd with the Havana hobo. For an even bolder look, you might go for this B. Makowsky bag in metallic pewter or bronze instead. The style also comes in subtler colors like black and brown. This N/S style of the Havana handbag retails for $298.
