Jessica Jensen takes the hobo back to basics with its Artisan bag.
The style is simple and chic, without all the accents we tend to see. Forget fringing and studs: this is minimalism at its most pure. That might not suit the season’s taste for embellishments, but the Artisan isn’t about catering to fads.
The only accent is the single knot at the top of the handle. By paring back the design, we focus on the buttery soft finish of the leather and its subtle grain design.
But I think the designer may have taken the minimalist philosophy too far, forgetting practicality in the process. This is an enormous bag, so it really calls for more pockets than the lone slip provided. We also need some protective feet on the base to keep that super soft leather safe. With its timeless styling, the Artisan really needs the features to help it last for a few seasons.
My tip is to choose some of the darker colors to hide those scuffs and stains. Steer clear of white and taupe, and opt for more practical black or chocolate instead!
