Gloss is a funny thing. Not enough and your bag will blend into the background. Too much and it looks trashy and cheap. But the right amount can make a handbag look super stylish and modern. I think Badgley Mischka has got the balance right with this Harrit Shine Hobo.
The gentle gloss helps to emphasize the softly gathered body of this hobo. It’s got that slouch we associate with this style of purse, but without the hippie attitude. Instead the Harrit is more of a city girl, modern and super sophisticated. The bright red leather combines with decorative zips around the top to create a look ready for the urban jungle.
This is an enormous bag, so it may be difficult to manage. The platform base will help it sit up a bit, but with such soft leather it’ll never really keep its structure. I’d like more than the zippered pocket and pair of open slips to keep the space organized, but these additions go some way towards keeping the clutter at bay.
The Harrit Shine’s looks are what charmed me first, and it’s what has me contemplating shelling out $395 for it. That’s not exactly cheap, but also not unreasonable for a bag of this quality and style.
