Whiting & Davis is a favorite choice for budget-conscious fashionistas looking for the glamor of vintage evening bags without the four-figure price tag. With the leather flowers hobo, the label abandons its usual after five focus to create a cute everyday accessory.
At least, that was the intention. This hobo might have an adorable casual look, but it’s still made of the mesh Whiting & Davis is so fond of. The metal finish is a little glitzier than most of us need, or desire, in the daylight hours. Of course some girls may argue you can never have enough flash, but I’d tend to disagree.
The metallic finish is dressed down with leather floral details. These modern blooms add a touch of whimsy, appearing feminine without being too fussy. The accent looks fab on this gold hobo, but seems to get lost on the black bag.
The medium size is refreshing in a world of oversized handbags. It won’t carry the kitchen sink, but it will hold what you need to get through the day without weighing you down. And when your handbag is made of metal mesh, that’s an important thing to consider.
This isn’t my favorite Whiting & Davis handbag, but you’ve got to admire the designer for thinking outside the box. Fans of the brand will probably love the opportunity to wear their mesh accessories in the daytime hours. I’m just not sure I have a place for it in my nine-to-five wardrobe.
