Diane von Furstenberg’s Stephanie hobo has attracted a legion of celebrity fans with its colorful metallic leather finish and slouchy style. Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, and Jessica Biel have all been spotted carrying this shiny piece of arm candy. Thankfully though, it doesn’t come with a celebrity price tag.
$875 may still be out of the reach of many, particularly with Christmas just around the corner, but it’s really not bad for a quality leather handbag such as this. Bottega Venetta charges thousands for its woven leather beauties, and the colors are rarely as compelling as this pretty purse. The theme is called ocean, with its blues and greens, but it actually reminds me more of peacock plumage. Whichever way you see it, these colors are vibrant without appearing gaudy.
Despite its unconventional woven leather finish, this is still a traditional style hobo from its crescent shape to its characteristic slouch. That shape will see it hugging your body beautifully for a real boho chic look. The long tasseled zipper pull only adds to that easy, breezy vibe.
There’s a short strap for hand-held carrying, but I prefer the wide braided strap. Its extra inches make it perfect for over-the-shoulder toting.
If you worry that the colors won’t work with your wardrobe you can opt for the Stephanie in black, silver, and gold.
