Oroton has reinvented the hobo bag with the Mallorca. The slouchy style and bohemian vibe are gone, replaced with structure and sleek styling.
In fact, calling it a hobo may be a bit of a misnomer. I suppose the shape resembles the traditional crescent with its round corners, but it’s nowhere near as obvious as Jessica Simpson’s Dreamcatcher Macrame hobo, or Christian Dior’s Diorita. Instead the design is clean and chic, making the Mallorca entirely appropriate for trips to the office or an evening out.
There’s little in the way of embellishments, with a simple piped design the only thing to break up the shrunken pebble leather finish. The elegant pattern emphasizes the purse’s shape, drawing attention to its sexy curves.
A leather zipper pull offers easy access to your girly goodies. They’re all kept organized thanks to the cleverly designed interior, which features a zippered compartment on one side wall and a couple of slip pouches on the other.
This perspex purple shade is surprising, yet conservative all at the same time. The Mallorca is also available in cedar brown and black. The shades don’t push many boundaries, just like the Majorca’s design. It might be a different kind of hobo, but it’s not one likely to call attention to itself. That might suit girls who like to follow the pack, but more daring purse lovers may prefer to look elsewhere.
