We all know Big Buddha as an affordable on-trend fashion label but this Katie bag seems more grandmotherly than glamorous.
The popcorn knit finish has a cute quirkiness about it, but I just can’t shake the idea that it looks like a failed Christmas gift from a well-meaning elderly relative. From the drab neutral color palette to the textured woolen finish, there’s definitely something homespun about this hobo.
The funny thing about fashion though is that anything a little left of center will certainly suit somebody. The very things that turn me off the Katie will turn another bagista’s head. And those fashion fans will love the high quality knit and timeless gold hardware. They’re also bound to appreciate the Katie’s massive size, and the soft braided handles which feel like heaven on the shoulders.
I concede that it is refreshing to see a hobo that doesn’t look like the others. Once the weather cools, I can see the Katie becoming the go-to bag for girls who appreciate its eccentric charms.
