Although the Bally Joletta handbag looks like a simple hobo at first glance, there are some first-rate details on it that make it worth your consideration.
The Joletta’s impressive quality comes with a hefty price tag, however, as you might expect from the brand. While a $1,165 retail price will probably keep many shoppers away, those who are looking in the designer handbag range might find it reasonable for what you get.
For practical gals like me who prefer overall versatility for purchases of that degree, you won’t likely be disappointed in what you get here. While there’s nothing particularly stunning about this Bally bag, it’s sure to go with just about any everyday outfit you pull out of your closet and hold up to lots of wear and tear. That’s something worthy of a little extra cash.
The Joletta isn’t completely devoid of personality, though. If I had to classify it, I’d say it’s clean and contemporary with an edgy twist. The smooth calfskin leather is sleek and classy, but the extra features add some spark. Its angled, zippered pockets on the front and chainlink on the shoulder strap lend just a hint of rock-and-roll, while little bits of braided texture on the top of the strap and zipper pulls keep the look from going too far.
In some ways, the Joletta handbag reminds me of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Strippy Zippy, but Bally’s version of the black hobo is a tad more sophisticated. Whether that makes it more deserving of its higher price tag is for you to decide.
