Sumptuously soft lambskin and a rich bottle green hue make this Apollo bag one of the most desirable hobos I’ve seen in some time.
Lambskin is an ideal material for crafting a traditional hobo, because its buttery finish slouches so easily. We can see its quality in every natural fold and feel it underneath our fingertips. The high quality material is paired with a patent leather belt, an element which I’m less enthusiastic about. While it’s every bit as luxurious as the lambskin, the gloss of the patent looks cheaper in my opinion. Some girls might enjoy its contrast, but I think the bag would have been better without it.
While the belt may be a bit of a misstep, Botkier doesn’t put another foot wrong. Its single strap is long and flat, so we can easily sling it over our shoulder and know it’ll stay there. Its interior is luxuriously large, but it’s got so many pockets that the space doesn’t feel unmanageable. Botkier’s really exceeded our expectations here, with a pen slot and key chain working with the usual pouches.
It might not be perfect, but for $545 it’s close enough to tempt us. That’s relatively affordable for a hobo with so much style and substance.
