Given its name you might expect this Moschino hobo to channel 80s retro style, but this ruched purse is rooted firmly in the modern world.
The name comes not from a lot of color and flash, but the dramatic waves of ruched leather. These tiny pleats are held in place by small studs along the top of the bag. I’ve never seen studs used in this way, sparingly and with almost a practical purpose rather than as a decorative feature to add edge.
The gentle pleats are something new but beneath it all this really is a classic hobo, with a crescent shape and relaxed slouch. Its base is a bit flatter, which should make packing and unpacking it a bit easier, but its lack of structure will never make it completely user-friendly. But the interior does feel luxurious, with plenty of space and a sumptuous satin lining. A long shoulder strap helps to complete this versatile, leather bag.
This is a bag that could easily work for any occasion, in a fashionable office environment or on weekends off. But it’s certainly not as affordable as we might expect from a line called Cheap & Chic. I’m sure even the most extravagant of spenders would never call $945 cheap.
