Gustto brings some contemporary edge to the bohemian hobo style with this Masilia bag.
At its heart this is a classic hobo bag, with soft curves and a slouchy silhouette. The soft taupe color is right on trend, but it also gives this hobo a distinctly hippie air. However it’s not all free and easy. The deep slits in the side panels give this bag the contemporary edge that sets it apart.
The Masilia has generous dimensions, so we should have no problems carrying everything we need to along with a few luxuries. Those items should stay reasonably well organized too with a zippered pocket and pair of welt pouches to help us out. Such a large handbag probably deserves a long zip rather than a magnetic closure, but the button does a decent job of keeping our cargo safe.
The straps are long enough to comfortably sit on our shoulder, but if I’m being picky I’d prefer they weren’t rounded. The rolled design means they’re likely to slip off our shoulder while we’re out and about. A flat design would have given the Masilia a similar look and some added functionality.
At $670 the Masilia isn’t a cheap purse, but it’s also not exorbitant for a handbag of this quality. Is there a place for it in your wardrobe?
