I must admit, taupe has never been one of my favorite fashion colors. While this neutral has been embraced on the catwalk, it always seems a little drab to me. Perhaps Fontanelli feels the same way, as it’s livened up the shade with this striped hobo bag.
At its root this really is a fairly simple suede hobo bag. But by wrapping colored leather strips around it, Fontanelli’s made it feel much more fun. I’m not sure I’m completely sold on the way the murky neutral works with vivid orange, blue, yellow, and aqua, but I admire Fontanelli for attempting to shake things up.
The interior is luxuriously spacious, with plenty of room for everything you need on an average day and a few things you probably don’t. A purse like this really deserves more than just two organizational pockets though. You’ll find it difficult to keep your items in order if you take advantage of all that space. At least the soft strap is up to the task!
The price is just right though at $588. That’s not small change, but perfectly reasonable for a bag of such quality with an Italian pedigree.
