Hobos are typically relaxed and carefree handbags, but Gustto dresses its up with this Falcha bag.
The first thing that drew me in was that washed Italian lambskin. The treatment makes this already soft skin appear even more sumptuous, which makes it a genius idea for a bag of this ilk. That traditional hobo slouchiness only emphasizes the leather’s beauty, yet the material’s quality makes sure things never look too relaxed. This is the kind of hobo you’ll want to carry out to dinner at a great restaurant, rather than a summer music festival.
The details elevate that skin into the stratosphere. The asymmetrical top flap is striking, and I’m pleased to see it mirrored in the pocket below. This is also situated just off center to continue the Falcha’s quirky appeal. I don’t like quirk for quirk’s sake, but this pocket is so practical that I don’t mind Gustto’s had a bit of fun with it.
You’ll use that front pocket for all the items you need on hand, and fill the ample interior with all the rest. This space is really a pleasure to use with its sueded lining and leather trimmed pockets. There is enough room for everything most of us need, but it’s also expandable for those times you need a bit extra. You feel like you’re pampering yourself every time you take the Falcha out, which is something I honestly don’t expect for this price.
That’s right folks; Gustto is offering us this level of luxury for just $495. Are you buying?
