Hype has reinvented the boho staple, the hobo, with this bold Rebecca bag.
I usually don’t warm to handbags which favor trendy details over timeless design, but the unique way Hype has put the accents together has won me over.
I was beginning to tire of studs, but by adding them to decorative loops Hype has created a look which is more tribal than rock and roll. I also really like the unusual toggle, which holds the braided accent in place. There’s also a laidback charm to the loosely braided handles, although I’m thankful for the leather wraps which protect our shoulders from this decorative effect.
All of these elements could make the Rebecca look busy, and lovers of minimalist fashion would probably concur that it does. But I’m a bit more forgiving; I think Hype has succeeded in creating a purse which brings a fresh style to the bohemian trend.
While its looks are all fashion, its interior is made with functionality in mind. It’s very roomy, but the pair of open slips and large zippered pocket make the space seem more manageable. My only practical concern is the gathered top, which may make it difficult to access your items in a hurry.
This latte brown Rebecca is a perfect boho choice, but if you’d prefer something a little more unexpected consider it in one of the other shades including pearl white or hibiscus pink.
