Chocolate gives us a woven bag unlike any I’ve ever seen with this Ruth hobo.
The woven finish of this bag is so interesting, with synthetic strips interlaced with soft material and fuzzy fabric. This bone color really makes the most of the texture, while the darker brown and black bags are much subtler. Personally I feel like a unique finish like this deserves to be celebrated, so the bone’s my pick. Can’t you just imagine how it’d look paired with boots and a flowing boho dress?
While Chocolate has taken some risks with the exterior, inside the Ruth is a fairly traditional bag. The plainweave lining is durable, and its pockets help make the enormous space feel more manageable. The slouchy silhouette isn’t the most user-friendly, but when it looks this cool it’s hard for me to get too critical.
I’m a bit disappointed that Chocolate has chosen synthetic, rather than one of the materials, for the straps though. It won’t feel as comfortable on your shoulder, and its shiny finish seems a bit cheap. We get away with it in the weave, but in such a large dose it’s a different matter.
All too often we must pay a fortune for a trend-setting bag, but happily the Ruth costs just $99. At that price, everyone can afford to turn a few heads!
