Hollywood isn’t all about beautiful actors and actresses earning the big bucks. For every star there’s a hundred busboys and waitresses looking for their big break. Perhaps Mellow World had these starry-eyed folks in mind when it created its Hollywood hobo.
The celebrities carry high-end designer bags crafted from luxury leather and exotic skins, but this hobo is made from more affordable leatherette. On a solid bag we might notice its inferiority, but the leaf shapes help to camouflage the synthetic’s shortcomings. I love the texture and drama that the layered foliage brings to the design.
The Hollywood is a large bag, but it’s got what it needs to feel manageable. While the slip and zip pockets aren’t too unusual, it’s great to see such a cheap bag hasn’t skimped on the basics. I also appreciate the detachable strap, which allows for cross-body wear when we’re on the go.
The price is what finally won me over though. $58 doesn’t buy a lot in the fashion world, but it does buy this hobo. For that price perhaps we needn’t stop at just one!
