When is a hobo not a hobo? When it’s the Hazard from Puma!
Puma calls this bag a hobo satchel, and I can certainly see qualities of both handbag styles in it. That casual slouch is unmistakably hobo, but its rectangular shape and practical pockets remind me of a satchel. And then giving it a style all its own is the glitzy platinum silver body and striking black trim. The only negative for me is the braided strap, which doesn’t seem to gel with the Hazard’s relaxed, clean look.
The Hazard has the athletic vibe we associate with Puma’s gym bags, and I’m sure it’d do a great job in that role. It’s large enough to handle trainers and towels, and the polyester lining shouldn’t hold sweaty work-out odors.
But unlike so many Puma bags, I don’t think the Hazard needs to be strictly a gym bag. It’s got enough style to suit days working at a creative office or hitting the mall. The extra pockets we don’t normally see in gym bags also help matters. That versatility means you won’t have to regret purchasing the Hazard if your enthusiasm for exercise wanes!
