There is a lot to like about the Vitalio Vera Large Zane Hobo. Unfortunately, it is hidden beneath a few layers of a questionable taste level.
Let’s start with the good. I actually rather like the color combination on this bag and the wide stripes don’t bother me at all. It has a cute hobo shape that gets wider at the bottom to fit more stuff, always a plus. So in form and structure we’re on the right path.
But then all the details pop up. In classic over-detailed fashion, if you removed the logo fob, tassel, and decorative contrasting side buckles, it would go a long way towards streamlining this look. As is, it’s too cluttered.
The big logo clasp on the buckle closure (which is probably pretty inconvenient, by the way) looks a little tacky, as does the simulated goatskin. It could easily have been an original choice if it didn’t turn out looking a bit too plastic-like in the picture.
This might be a good pick for a young girl in your life, or a Kathy Van Zeeland fan. While Kathy Van Zeeland bags are usually of higher quality construction, this bag does have their flair for fobs and tassels everywhere.
