Hobo International is known for its simplicity and quality rather than super innovative designs, but this Maria Vintage bag manages to reach into the past for inspiration while keeping a sleek, contemporary feel to it.
It’s certainly not the type of purse you buy because you just can’t imagine passing it up and never finding one like it again. Instead, the Maria Vintage is the kind of handbag that is so perfectly simple and versatile that you simply can’t help but think of a dozen ways to use it.
This gorgeous coral color, so appropriate for the upcoming season, might not go with quite as much as something like black or brown would. However, it adds a little personality to the otherwise completely unembellished purse. I also like how the coral color combined with the light glaze on the leather contributes to the “vintage” feel of the bag’s name.
The contemporary vibe comes in with some of the understated details of the Maria Vintage. These include the single strap, which forks out to loop through a small leather piece on either side of the bag, as well as the subtle a-line shape to the side seams and the pockets that protrude from either side. Also, the overall lack of any hardware gives this pretty Hobo International handbag a very streamlined design.
