Big Buddha has an uncanny knack for creating contemporary styled accessories for far less than the big boys. This Carrie hobo is another gorgeous option from the affordable American brand.
It’s all too easy to point to the use of synthetic, rather than real leather, for the reason for the label’s low prices. Big Buddha calls it vegan leather, one of those modern buzz words designed to appeal to eco-friendly fashionistas, but it’s still synthetic no matter which way you cut it. The difference for me is that Big Buddha uses a man made material that’s of such great quality, you might not know it’s not leather if it wasn’t pointed out to you. When superior fabrics like this are used, I don’t feel that familiar old synthetic cringe.
This buttery skin is jazzed up with chains and whipstitching around the corners. They give this slouchy purse a bit more structure, while also adding just a hint of edge. The accent isn’t outrageous, but it is a lot of fun.
This is an enormous hobo, but with plenty of pockets inside and out it doesn’t feel nearly as big as it might have. A zippered pocket on the back is great for storing the items you need at your fingertips, while the pairs of zip and slip pockets inside should help you stay organized.
I like the subtle mottled tones of this green bag, but the Carrie is also available in black, gray and pinky shade of red.
