Francesco Biasia gives the classic hobo a practical twist with this pocketed Denise.
The angled pockets near the bottom corners are certainly convenient, but they also give the Denise more structure than the average bag of this type. We still see a little of that characteristic slouch around its opening, but it’s not the kind of hobo that will fall over on itself.
The contrast stitching around these compartments is a playful, contemporary touch but I’m less impressed by the leather’s color. This brown shade is called lion, but it doesn’t roar very loudly. There’s a place for traditional, but such a simple hobo really calls for a more inventive color palette.
The Denise is amply sized and well appointed, with a long zippered pocket running along one wall and a pair of open pouches in the other. Each one is trimmed with leather to protect it from everyday wear and tear. The only disappointment inside is that pale lining, which is bound to show lipstick stains and ink marks before too long.
At an affordable $298 this is a solid effort from Francesco Biasia. It’s not the most exciting bag around, but it will certainly do the job.
