Botkier takes woven leather in an innovative new direction with this Kasper hobo handbag.
Delicate stripes of woven leather help to dress up this traditionally shaped hobo bag. The weave is open and relaxed, allowing the silvery metal underneath to shine through. We’ve seen metal up front and center with studs and grommets in the past, but I think I prefer this much subtler use of silver. It’s really appropriate for this bohemian styled bag, as it gives a little personality without assaulting the senses.
The woven detail is the star, but don’t overlook the quality of the lambskin. Its softness is what gives the Kasper that trademark hobo slouch. Such a delicate material really deserves protecting, so it’s a shame the Kasper doesn’t have any metal feet. But this is really the only practical omission.
The Kasper is luxuriously large, but its selection of pockets ensures it doesn’t feel too big. Inside we see the standard trio of pockets: a pair of open ones for gadgets and a zippered one for loose change, keys, and other valuables. They complement the pair of slip pockets you’ll find on the back. I also appreciate the choice of shoulder and cross-body straps. Both are flat so they won’t slide off your body.
The Kasper is a great bag for modern girls who appreciate a bargain. At $319.90, our money buys a lot of style and substance.
