Burberry’s understated aesthetic has undergone a subtle transformation in the past few seasons. It’s always had a classically beautiful look, but now it has tempered it with more street smarts, and the results are irresistible. This great grained leather hobo is a great example of Burberry’s ability to satisfy many styles at once.
The grained leather on the bag is totally classic, as is the high quality craftsmanship. You really couldn’t ask for more subtly rendered details. The seams are all but invisible and the burnished gold hardware is beautiful, but totally unobtrusive.
The hobo shape is also very subtle. It has a much flatter bottom than most, which makes it look structured and less casual. This structure also means it looks a little more grown up and refined than your average boho hobo. The smooth, curved handle is the only thing throwing off the look for me. I’m not a big fan of these very circular handles, as they tend to slide off your shoulder pretty easily. Luckily, there’s a detachable shoulder strap, just in case.
At $995, this hobo is extremely well priced for the line, and a great designer buy all around.
