Ralph Lauren helps us add a touch of luxury to our everyday lives with this Harbridge Hobo.
The soft curves and slouchy silhouette are classic hobo, but the snake-embossed surface makes it feel more sophisticated than the average. It’s not the most convincing cobra mimic, but I appreciate its neutral tones and chic mottled pattern. It’s not overly showy, but that makes it perfect for such a large surface.
This really is a big bag, which is both a good and a bad thing depending on how you look at it. On one hand we’re treated to as much space as we could ever need. The trio of slip and zip pockets go some way towards keeping the interior organized, although not far enough in my opinion. A central zippered pocket dividing the space would have been much more practical.
The strap also feels a shade too short. It’ll sit over your shoulder, but snugly. Personally I’d have preferred a cross-body option to better distribute the weight of all that bulk.
The Harbridge isn’t the best designed bag but it is a head-turner made from high quality materials. I think it’s priced a shade too high at $548, but if I could find it on sale I’d be sorely tempted.
