Jessica Simpson proves a sophisticated hobo bag doesn’t have to cost a lot of money with the Naomi.
While the Naomi has a hint of slouch, it’s much more structured than most bags of this style. It’s also shaped more like a bucket bag than a classic crescent hobo. These differences go some way towards making the Naomi more sophisticated, but the skin is the finishing touch. The leather-like surface is embossed with crocodile scales, which make it appear richer than its price tag would suggest.
Admittedly fashion snobs would never fall for the trickery. The skin is quite thin, and it has the telltale sheen we find on so many cheap synthetics. The embossing is convincing though, and the polished golden hardware brings an extra level of luxury.
The Naomi doesn’t leave us wanting for space. The generous main compartment is well appointed with a selection of pockets. Each has been trimmed in more of that synthetic to help it last. A zipper would have offered more security than the snap closure, but if we’re careful the existing clasp should do the job.
The vachetta color isn’t very exciting, but it is versatile and on trend. It’s rare to find a purse which looks so stylish for just $88, but this hobo fits the bill. Jessica Simpson will never be amongst the fashion elite, but she’s produced another solid bag with the Naomi.
