When it comes to Lily Waters, we always know what we’re going to get. She’s like Vera Bradley’s more outgoing sister, using quilted materials in delightfully clashing prints to create purses that are sweet and smart. With the Heather we see Lily Water turn her hand to the hobo.
Honestly, I can see very little here that reminds me of a hobo, both in design and spirit. With its flat base and structured sides it seems more like a bucket bag. It’s also missing that bohemian flair that typically comes from handbags of this ilk. So perhaps we need to adjust our expectations.
As a hobo it falls flat, but as an everyday handbag the Heather has a certain appeal. That flat base helps it sit up once you put it down, and the front pocket provides a handy place for storing those essential items. The interior has enough space for the rest of your regular cargo, and the zippered top will help those goodies stay just where you left them.
This bag is a bit of a quiet achiever, without fashion forward style or a luxury finish. But it is quite cute, and a bargain to boot at just $35.
