Rampage is a typically affordable handbag brand but one that sometimes doesn’t quite hit the mark for my personal taste. The pretty Michelle clutch is one of their styles that I can applaud, whereas the Amber tote is a bit too much like a circus tent for me.
That’s why I was somewhat surprised to find this Hazel Hobo within a list of recent Rampage releases. Although I’m not sure what brands I might have placed it with, Rampage definitely would not have been one of them. There’s a unique design sensibility to the Hazel that stands out as somehow both simple yet detailed.
Though certainly not the only color combination available, this light gray with brown is so appealing in its subtlety really allowing the details on the front to stand out. The quilted stitching on the synthetic leather is accentuated by the thin patent strips woven throughout. I was very disappointed to find that the interesting woven detail is not continued on the back of the hobo bag, but at least the quilting is repeated instead of having a plain back.
The opening of the purse closes with a magnetic snap, but there’s also a functional drawstring that loops through the top of the hobo and allows you to cinch in the sides for either a little extra security or just a different shape. This Rampage Hazel bag retails for $98.
