Once famous for its traditional handbag designs, Hobo International has been pushing the fashion envelope of late. This Effe clutch features the contemporary looks we’re beginning to associate with this classic brand.
The Effe’s patent leather finish is available in many shades, from predictable choices like black and white to more lurid hues of fuchsia and lime green. I prefer these matte options to the multicolored “tropical” purse. Here the sleek patent is replaced with embossed snakeskin, a surface which looks too busy paired with its colorful print.
The classic box shape is given a little edge with an angular zippered flap. A magnetic fastener holds the flap down, and when paired with the zip you’ll never have to worry about security. A transparent ID window is embedded into the flap, a clever touch which helps to maximize storage space. The playfully printed interior also has several pockets to make the most of the fairly narrow space.
With the Effe’s contemporary styling, the lack of shoulder strap comes as a bit of a surprise. This convenient feature has become almost commonplace, and we miss it here. That might make more practical purse lovers balk at the price tag which hovers around $100, but the Effe’s high quality fabrics will help to sway girls who’ve fallen for its edgy good looks.
