Botkier has given the hobo a sleek modern makeover with the Ziggy. The trademark slouch and hippy flair is gone, replaced with chic styling and an uptown attitude.
The defining feature is the cool angular lines. We see them in the pointed flap, and again on the pleated zip-around front pocket. The traditional crescent shape is gone, replaced with an on-trend triangular silhouette.
The triangular profile gives the Ziggy a handy flat base, so it’ll sit up without falling over once you sit it down. Sadly though, there are no protective feet to protect that soft leather bottom. Make sure you handle this hobo with care, particularly if you opt for this pristine stone shade.
With the Ziggy’s modern style, it’s unfortunate that Botkier’s played it safe colorwise. The shades may be called anthracite and stone, but they may as well be black and white. There’s always a place for timeless tones, but I wish there was a more daring choice for bagistas who really want to push the boundaries.
