Do you remember the Rebecca Minkoff Nikki hobo? Well, now the designer has produced a studded version for our delectation, the Linear.
The shape, you may realize, is pretty much identical to the slouchy leather of the first version of this Nikki tote. Because I loved the quality and feel first time round, I have to admit to being very pleased that the label has avoided reinventing the wheel, and has stuck instead to improving an already tempting handbag proposition. And improve it is does, simply by adding studs.
Whilst studs can be overpowering, you see, Rebecca Minkoff has manage to keep it tame and simple. She has scattered the pyramid shaped hardware along the already existing lines of the hobo, emphasizing the shape and adding just a hint of rock chick glamour. True rock-n-rollers may want more metal-work, but I personally think the minimalism lets just enough attitude and style shine through.
Now we come to the real drawback: the price. More expensive than the original, this costs a mighty $650, which could probably be spent on multiple bags of similar design for less money. If you love that buttery beige leather, however, then you may well be tempted to shell out!
