Perforated leather is one of the hottest handbag trends of the season. While this faux version isn’t exactly the real deal, it’s stylish enough to suit until the trend is over.
Of course, Roxy’s decision to use faux leather rather than genuine calfskin helps to keep its junior line affordable. That’s a real plus for a bag which bends to suit current trends, rather than timeless style. At least if this fashion doesn’t last long, you won’t have spent a month’s rent on it!
While Roxy is a junior label, I’m sure most adults would happily sling this hobo over their shoulder. The white color and perforated leather give it a preppy appearance, ready for hitting the tennis courts or a country club luncheon.
The slouchy perforated sides contrast with the plainer center panel. This has a handy zippered pocket, perfect for stashing car keys and other items you want at your fingertips.
The white lined interior is spacious, if not entirely practical. A large zippered pocket and a couple of open slips help to keep your essentials in order, while the zip top closure keeps everything safely inside.
Just like the white lining, the white synthetic probably won’t look keep its good looks for too long. Without metal feet to protect the base, it’s bound to be grubby after a few outings, and the body is also sure to show stains in time.
But for just $34, I know I’d enjoy carrying the Rise Above hobo for as long as it looks good, or that synthetic holds up!
