Whiting & Davis puts a glam twist on an old favorite with this Mini Twisted hobo.
Hobos are typically bohemian, casual bags but not this shiny beauty. Its metal mesh body makes it much more evening appropriate. Can’t you just imagine how dazzling it’ll look when those small metal panels catch the moonlight? I’m swooning over this simply styled handbag, particularly in this vivid poppy turquoise. Whiting & Davis offers more traditional metallics including pewter and pearl, but I think this more playful color is the pick of them.
This hobo gets its name from the handle, which features metal mesh tubes loosely twisted together. All too often the handle seems like an afterthought, so it’s refreshing to see one taking center stage. I’m not sure how all that lumpy metal will feel on your shoulder, but it looks stunning. And if you don’t like it as a shoulder strap, with some minor adjustments it can become a wrist loop, or you can remove it completely and carry the purse as a clutch!
This hobo is bigger than your average evening bag, but that’s still not saying much. You’ll likely enjoy the space if you’re only taking it to dinner or a movie, but it’s not going to make the day to night transition without some careful packing.
It looks like a real glamourpuss, but this Twisted Hobo is actually pretty approachable at $145. We don’t get a whole lot of purse for that price, but we do get a whole lot of style.
