Frye takes a classic approach to the hobo with this Blair bag. In many ways we’ve seen it all before, yet I can’t take my eyes off this casual accessory.
All the traditional hobo trademarks are there, from the casual slouch to the distinctive crescent shape. The tiny cross-hatched stitching gives this bag a bit of individuality, but in essence this is the epitome of a classic hobo. The weathered tan leather adds to the Blair’s bohemian vibe, but it’s also available in a lighter brown and a dusty rose pink.
This is a sizable hobo, which is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand it’s lovely to have enough space for all your essentials, and any luxuries you feel like carrying as well. However Frye’s only given us a single zippered pocket, so keeping all those items straight will be challenging.
The Blair is the kind of handbag that is destined to become a wardrobe staple. Its weathered finish will only become more pronounced with age, and its style will never date. The lack of protective feet may see its base become scuffed, but if you treat it well there’s no reason why you couldn’t be carrying this hobo for the next decade. That makes it $468 price tag seem very reasonable indeed!
