It might have a stuffy name, but this Governor’s Lodge Hobo from Ralph Lauren’s Lauren label is a real head turner.
Champagne is usually a gentle metallic, but there’s nothing subtle about this color. That might appeal to a certain section of the population, but I’m less than enthusiastic about it. It really seems incongruous, as the Governor’s Lodge has such a sensible design. It’d look so classic if it were made from a neutral leather rather than this glitzy skin.
Peeking inside the Governor’s Lodge we really see its potential. It’s a good size for everyday use, and it’s got just the right amount of pockets for easy organization. The front pocket is perfeect for holding small essentials like keys and lip gloss, while the zippered one on the back affords us a bit more space. The single handle is long enough for over-the-shoulder carrying, and as its flat it shouldn’t slip when you’re on the move.
At just $248, the Governor’s Lodge hobo is really affordable for a well-made leather purse. It’s just a shame its color makes it far less versatile than it should be.
