Tusk gives the traditional hobo a chic makeover with this Gramercy bag.
In many ways this is a classic hobo handbag. Its crescent shape is instantly recognizable, and its buttery soft leather slouches in all the right places. But the Gramercy is much more sophisticated than the average hobo.
Perhaps it’s the pretty pleating, which adds an extra dimension to the design. It might also be that appealing gloss which gives the leather just the right amount of shine. Either way, the Gramcery appears elegant enough to make the day to night transition, which is an unexpected perk at this price point.
While I love the look, it’s also very reminiscent of a croissant. Funnily enough that’s not entirely a bad thing, although I do worry about developing a craving for pastries while carrying it! You could avoid that problem by buying it in black, but as the tasseled zips stay tan I don’t think it works quite as well.
This hobo is very smart, with plenty of space and superior quality materials. It’s also very affordable at $338.
