I’ve seen many designers attempt to reinvent the popular hobo handbag, but none have done it quite like Sondra Roberts.
The slouchy, relaxed profile we’ve come to expect is gone, replaced by a structured curved body. But the bohemian vibe isn’t abandoned entirely, with natural canvas and twine fabrics woven together for an earthy feel. I love the wide vertical stripes created by the complementary fibers. The materials are casual, but the curved leather piping dresses things up a little. It’s never going to be red carpet ready, but if you pair it with the right outfit it’d definitely suit a dinner date.
It’s also got the space to make that day-to-night transition. You could easily carry a change of clothes and the cosmetics case you need to make the switch! There’s also space for the essentials, with two open top pockets taking care of your gadgets and a zippered pocket for loose change and valuables.
I’m not sure the choice of natural fibers quite justifies the $310 retail price, but at least this purse has the style and quality craftsmanship to last a few seasons.
