We’ve seen many fashion labels reinventing the hobo of late, but I’ve never seen any brand reinterpret the boho staple quite like Be & D has done with the Jefferson.
The typical crescent shape is gone, replaced instead with this elongated bucket style. This striking silhouette is enhanced with large studs, whip stitching, and lush wrinkled black leather. The details are bold but less flamboyant than they might have been thanks to the use of complementary tones. The cone-shaped studs are covered in leather to mute them, and the whip-stitching on the front flap and handle is done in that same black tone. The only pop of color comes from the shiny silver hardware, which gives the hobo the right amount of rock star edge.
The dimensions are very generous; this is a bag which is almost as long as it is wide and deep. That makes it perfect for carrying fat wallets, chunky novels, and other bulky items. A zippered pocket, two open pouches, and a hook for keys all help to make this vast space user friendly.
The whip-stitched handle is lovely, but it’s not the most practical carrying option once the Jefferson is full. That’s no problem though, as Be & D also adds an attachable cross-body strap. This leather strap features a movable leather cushion to protect your shoulder from strain.
With a retail value of almost $1000, this hobo is one of Be & D’s most expensive bags, but it’s also one of the label’s most versatile and stylish.
