Givenchy gives the classic hobo a fashion forward makeover with the Obsedia.
Givenchy’s retained elements of the traditional style, but made the finish much more sophisticated. There’s a gentle slouch to the material, but it’s so thick and lush that it doesn’t collapse in a heap. That added structure makes this hobo much easier to use than the average. The brown color isn’t exactly going set the fashion world on fire, but it’s a timeless choice which will suit any occasion or season. The earthy hue is set off nicely with the Obsedia’s distinctive signature clasp.
The Obsedia hobo has all the space we need with the functional features to match. I wouldn’t say that the pair of open pouches and zippered pocket exceed our expectations, but with so many high end designers taking a more minimalist approach I appreciate the features offered. The handle is significantly shorter than I’d like though. It looks just right, but it’s not long enough to easily sling over our shoulder, which is the preferred carrying method for a bag so large.
Givenchy bags never come cheaply, and at $1580 the Obsedia’s no exception. It’s pricy but incredibly sophisticated. If you can stomach some carrying angst you’ll appreciate this chic statement purse.
