The Swinger hobo from Chinese Laundry has a laid-back, bohemian vibe. It might not take you from day to night for most events, but it’s a great choice for accessorizing casual daytime outfits before transitioning to informal date nights.
It’s not only the hobo handbag style that contributes to the quintessential boho-chic look. The twisted handle ends on each side with a knot that has several inches of fringe hanging down. The overall result seems like a lot of hippie with a dash of nautical.
The light tan color is very neutral, making it versatile for daily use. Although not nearly as sedate, the deep purple option is equally pretty. Both of these versions of the Swinger come in a faux suede that probably isn’t the most durable of materials but one that does look quite nice.
For times of the year that faux suede isn’t appropriate, this Chinese Laundry design also comes in a magenta or gray shiny PVC material that definitely stands out more and might be a little less likely to show scuffs and scrapes. The large Swinger hobo retails for $90.
