The first word that comes to mind when I see this Hobo International handbag is dramatic. As I’m sure was intended, the sleek and contemporary look of the Marina satchel is definitely something to make you stop and take a look.
Devoid of any metal hardware, contrasting stitching, or other superfluous details, the Marina is almost shocking in its simplicity. I suppose some might say it’s a tad underdone, but I really like the modern feel it has.
There’s absolutely nothing fussy about it, which won’t appeal to fans of designers like Betsey Johnson or Kathy Van Zeeland, whose styles are all about the bold details. However, the Marina will be a breath of fresh air to those who think some brands have gone overboard with their creativity.
My only real hesitation with this Hobo International satchel is that it slightly reminds me of a taco, but perhaps that’s just the Tex-Mex food lover coming out in me. I’m sure the bright yellow color doesn’t help the resemblance, though. The Marina also comes in standard black or brown as well as a lovely dark rouge that would be perfect for this fall.
This isn’t your ordinary satchel with long double handles for throwing on your shoulder. True to its minimalist style, the Marina is only outfitted with cut-out handles along the top of the curve. They’re definitely not intended to be practical considering the handbag’s size, but again I think the intention here is all about the drama.
