Ostrich is one of the big trends for the season, and lots of designers are taking advantage of the popularity of the luxury material by offering more affordable versions. Whereas true ostrich leather handbags can run upwards of $5,000, ostrich-embossed leather is a better option for getting the same look for a lot less.
This Furla Elisabeth Shoulder Hobo accomplishes this perfectly. The light pink is a nice light color in contrast to some of the extremely vibrant tones we’ve been seeing lately. Of course, there’s a time and an outfit for both kinds of colors, but there’s something about this ostrich texture on pastel pink that is so feminine and pretty.
Furla was prepared for the outfits that require a bolder color, though. You can also get the Elisabeth hobo in a deep magenta purple. Personally, I think the light pink could be more versatile, but the magenta is a fun, unexpected option that could spice up a drab outfit.
This particular hobo bag is a medium size with a decent amount of open storage inside. Though the ostrich-embossed texture is beautiful, the Elisabeth handbag also comes in solid leather, too. The retail price of $495 is still a bit high for many budgets, but it’s much more attainable than the real deal.
