Lodis gets sexy with suede with this San Marino Natasha hobo.
I’ve never really thought of Lodis as fashion forward, but the usually staid label seems to be shaking things up a bit with its most recent accessories. Suede is an inspired choice for a hobo. It’s one of the softest materials around, so it slouches in all the right places. In deep red it appears even richer, like the curtain at an old fashioned theater or a plush antique couch. The crocodile embossing gives it a more modern touch. I’m not always a fan of the treatment, but here it’s so subtle that it adds texture without making the purse tacky.
I wouldn’t say the San Marino Natasha is Lodis’ most practical purse, but it doesn’t let us down either. We find two organizational slots inside and a zippered pocket too lined with more of that suede to help it last. The pale creamy lining isn’t the smartest choice as it’ll quickly show stains, but at least they’ll be hidden away.
Suede is notoriously quick to wear so you’ll need to handle it carefully to get your $388 worth. But if you can keep it clean and scuff free, this hobo will make a stylish statement for several seasons to come.
