No one expects genuine exotics for under $100. But if you hope to enjoy the look at a budget friendly price, this python-like hobo from Chinese Laundry is a decent option.
The traditional slouchy hobo shape is jazzed up by the snakeskin print, which is embossed on the polyurethane body. This blue shade is a lovely evergreen option, ideal for pairing with denims at any time of the year. It’s interesting that there are none of the blacks, whites, and browns we’ve come to expect, but gray and mustard should be tame enough to please conservative tastes.
This generously-sized purse is fitted out with a zippered pocket and a couple of multifunctional slips. One can take care of your cell phone, while another is large enough to suit an MP3 player or small digital camera.
The handle is quite long, so I’m not sure why we’d need the removable shoulder strap. It’s especially confusing since the fabric finish clashes with the snakeskin body. I’d simply unclip it for a more unified look.
