I’m nearly as confused by the long name of this Hype handbag as I am by the look of it. To put it simply, there’s a lot to take in, but the concept and appearance are both worth a gander.
The Dylan Cross-Body Flap Hobo is what the mouthful of a name suggests: a handbag that functions as both hobo and cross-body. Hype accomplishes this by offering two carrying options. You can tote around the Dylan either on your shoulder with the single wrapped leather handle or with the detachable, adjustable longer strap that fits easily across the body.
As I appraised the overall look of the Dylan to decide just what to make of it, I realized that the design is a familiar one. This cross-body/hobo bag is very similar to the Hype Regina Hobo. In fact, it’s so similar that I’m not really sure why Hype bothered to give this one a different name.
The Dylan and the Regina, although slightly different in size, share the same strangely oversized front flap whose sides can either be folded out or in depending on your preference. The two Hype bags also have the exact same hanging tassel detail on the flap. The only main difference I can see is in price. Because of it’s slightly smaller size, the Dylan Cross-Body Flap Hobo retails for $275 making it slightly more affordable than the Regina.
