Marc Jacobs makes bags that women everywhere covet. The Marc by Marc Jacobs line is replete with hot, young accessories while the Marc Jacobs line hits a more sophisticated demographic. The Hillier hobo walks the line between both.
The pebbled leather of the bag gives the hobo shape a more classic appeal, as does the elongated structure, but the large grommets keep the Hillier looking new and modern. I’m not really a fan of the rolled leather handle, and I think it looks a little awkward on this bag. A flat strap would have been more attractive, not to mention more functional. But at least it comes with a shoulder strap, which I love.
The pleating at the front of the Hillier gives it a feminine, almost girlish charm that makes it seems more casual. This is a fabulous everyday bag for someone who wants something clean and cute that is also functional. At $400, it has a competitive price for a designer bag, but honestly, I’d rather have it for $200.
