Diane von Furstenberg serves up a textural feast with this Kelli hobo.
A woven center panel works with the Kelli’s gently ruched body to create a casually cool silhouette. It’s modern but not trend-conscious, so you needn’t worry about the Kelli dating quickly.
I really love the way the textures emphasize the buttery qualities of the leather. It’s the kind of treatment that separates the luxury finishes from the imitators. A synthetic wouldn’t have slouched so softly, or appeared quite so touchable. I’d probably restraint myself though if you’ve picked this cream version, as it’s bound to show fingerprints! If you’re worried about stains the black version may be a better alternative.
Whichever one you choose, you’ll be happy to know you won’t need to leave anything behind. The Kelli’s dimensions are very generous, which is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, Diane von Furstenberg has delivered space to spare and plenty of pockets too. But that traditional hobo slouch is never easy to manage, particularly on such a large scale. The Kelli isn’t the most difficult hobo to use, but prepare to wrestle with it a little.
For $675 though you’ll probably want to make the effort. That’s not small change, although it’s not exorbitant for a bag of this quality and style.
