Frye delivers all the slouchy style we’d expect from a hobo with the Molly.
High quality leather always gives us that casual slouch, but Frye takes it one step further by adding drawstrings around the top and side pockets. These ties naturally gather in the skin to really bring out the bag’s boho side.
These drawstrings are both a blessing and a curse. On the plus side, they add interest to a design that without them would have been boring. The colors, conservative black and chocolate brown, aren’t exactly inspiring and neither is the shape. These drawstrings make the Molly something special. But then there’s the practical level. Anyone who’s ever owned a drawstring bag knows how frustrating these fiddly ties can be. To have them on both the top and sides might add security, but it will also add aggravation.
Considering the intricate exterior, the minimalist interior comes as a bit of a shock. While Frye markets this as a small hobo, it’s probably too large for that classification. That makes the lack of inner pockets all the more disappointing.
The Molly has a great look, but I’m not sure I’m willing to struggle with its flaws to enjoy it. Perhaps this is one of those purses best lusted over from a distance.
