The Mari Hobo bag is part of Big Buddha’s fall 2009 collection, but I have to admit that I’m a bit confused by its placement there. It’s not that I dislike the design. I’m just not sure it’s totally fall-worthy with its fabric body.
That being said, the style of the Mari Hobo is very appealing. With the majority of the handbag in fabric and the trim on the handles and the sides in synthetic leather-like material, there’s a nice blend of texture and a definite air of casual and contemporary chic to this Big Buddha bag.
I’m not in love with the contrasting stitching on the front of this beige version. It’s a little strange that such an eyecatching detail isn’t continued on the back of the hobo. However, that isn’t a factor if you choose the dark black color instead, which would probably be a better choice anyway as far as hiding dirt on the fabric.
Like basically any of Big Buddha’s designs, the Mari Hobo is decently priced at just $90. I wouldn’t call it an extremely versatile purse since the fabrics and slouchy look limit you to casual outfits, but it’s a great affordable option for a simple but stylish accessory.
