Chocolate delivers a floral handbag with real depth with this Beth hobo.
I really appreciate the way that Chocolate builds up this bag, working with three dimensions to create a garden that really pops. I’m not entirely happy with all the blooms though. The structured water lily like flowers are so neat and gorgeous, but those with the tassels leave me a bit cold. Perhaps these synthetic threads were meant to mimic stamen, but they just seem a bit messy. This is one of those cases where less would have been more.
While I’m griping it’s worth mentioning that those dramatic flowers are noticeably absent from the back of the bag. We’re used to this kind of corner cutting from Chocolate, but it’s still disappointing. The zippered pocket we find there will come in handy, but I’d still have preferred more poseys!
That color is also lacking. Chocolate calls it sage green, but this grayish hue is much blander than that description suggests. The Beth looks like a bag that knows how to have fun, but its color isn’t keeping pace.
The Beth doesn’t quite live up to its promise, but its attention to detail is certainly worth its reasonable $100 price tag.
