Although I am rather fond of Hobo International’s simple, clean lines, the brand does tend to be a tad safe sometimes. Unlike other labels who are constantly pushing the envelope with handbag fashion, Hobo International sticks with the basics plus a few modern details. However, they generally do it beautifully with only a few predictable exceptions.
This Rocklin Flapover Clutch kind of caught me by surprise since it seems a little out of the brand’s typical style, but the look is quite unique and stunning. The company is going in a good direction with this look as with the recent and similarly detailed Solano Tote.
On the Rocklin, the carefully smocked leather gives the illusion of a relaxed silhouette but also adds a degree of visual appeal. It’s a great blend of texture and a basic shape that keeps things simple and uncluttered yet interesting.
Contrary to how it might look to some, the front flap is not the closure to this clutch. There is actually a zippered closure just inside the end of the flap-over that is accessed when the bag is extended. It makes it just a wee bit complicated to get in and out of the purse but could be a positive if your concern is pickpockets. The entry doesn’t bother me, but there might be some who find it annoying.
There are some great autumn color options available for the Rocklin Flapover including this lovely shade of sage green. This leather clutch retails for $198.
