Australian designer Oroton does things best when it keeps things simple. This Alpine Gather Hobo delivers everything we’d expect from this boho bag style, with a lot more class.
This is a new twist on Oroton’s popular Alpine handbag design, but it’s also a subtle one. Where the original Alpine was smooth and sleek, this one features soft gathers. It’s a matter of personal taste, but I think this gentle ruching makes a real improvement; it gives the bag some volume and drama which only makes it appear more opulent.
Of course, luxury isn’t hard to achieve when you’re working with goat skin. This leather is much softer than the more commonly used cowhide, so those gentle pleats sit just so. Shades like black and ivory aren’t the most innovative, but just like this bag design they are wardrobe staples.
It might not push the fashion envelope, but Oroton’s Alpine Gather hobo is a great everyday accessory option. And at just $495, it’s also an affordable one by designer standards.
