Years after its original release, Hayden-Harnett’s Havana hobo continues to be one of the brand’s bestsellers.
Just because it’s a classic doesn’t mean the Havana is stuck in the past. The dual front pocket is a recent addition, and Hayden-Harnett always releases a few more color combinations every season. This playful lagoon green in one of the new offerings for spring. It will sit comfortably alongside classic shades like blueberry, brandy brown, and black onyx.
Brazilian cow leather gives the Havana hobo its buttery soft finish. Bling is kept to a minimum, with Hayden-Harnett preferring contrast stitching and the leather’s natural slouch to add interest. The HH amulet hangs proudly from the shoulder strap, but it’s easily removable if you’d rather not advertise.
This doesn’t have the bulky looks of so many oversized bags, but it’s surprisingly spacious. It’s a little like that handbag Mary Poppins carried, with enough room for a cardigan if you get chilly, and flats for the end of a long night! Plenty of pockets inside and out make organization a breeze.
I’d prefer double straps to handle the weight of an overstuffed Havana, but the single handle does its best to keep up. It’s adjustable and padded to maximize versatility and comfort.
Fans of the brand’s Target line may balk at the $498 retail price. But anytime I find a classic leather purse for $500 I feel like it’s a pretty good deal!
