The Look For Less: Alexander Wang Donna Washed Hobo

FabSugar — Thu, 21 May 2009 09:00:22 -0700

I have a love-hate relationship with this Alexander Wang Donna Washed Hobo ($795). I'm absolutely smitten with the hip zippers and '80s throwback design, but the cost is far from desirable. There's no way I would splurge on something so of-the-moment, but I do love it . . . right now.

Righteous. This Forever 21 Expandable Utilitarian Bag ($27) emotes the same cool vibe without the funky price tag. At that price, I can wear it now, hate it later, and won't regret anything in between.

Almost everyone loves an inexpensive handbag, especially when it doesn't look cheap. If spending a fortune isn't an option for you, here's a solution that should cheer you up: fringe!

This Fringe Hobo Carry-All ($77), which also comes in taupe, is not only super cute but it's also gentle on the wallet. Start reaping the fringe benefits.

Gucci Snow Glam Hobo: Love It or Hate It?

No offense to Gucci, but this Gucci Snow Glam Medium Hobo, $1,895, looks like one of those leather motorcycle jackets turned into a bag! It's from the Fall collection, so I understand why the colors are muted. Still, it's too sporty for me. Would you carry it?

Dolce & Gabbana Hand-Woven Hobo: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 22 May 2007 14:25:33 -0700

I am torn about this Dolce & Gabbana Metallic Hand-Woven Hobo that Lolipop89 posted in the Love It or Hate It? group. It could potentially work with a Summery beach ensemble, but I'm not so sure it's worth paying over a $1000 for a bag I can only wear during one season. Plus, it kinda looks like a fisherman's net. What do you all think?

Trend Alert: Modern Day Hobos

FabSugar — Thu, 31 May 2007 08:40:33 -0700

I bet you Kate Hudson's character in Almost Famous, Penny Lane, had a favorite style handbag. And I bet you it was the hippie classic hobo. While the hobo has a reputation for being the stoner of handbags, there is no denying the slouchy, laid-back shape is groovy, man. Enter hobo redux...meet some modern day hobos.

Rafe New York beige leather 'Molly' medium hobo, $297.
DKNY Silver Metallic Leather Hobo, $375.
Tommy Hilfiger Handbags Grenada Foldover Hobo, on sale for $67.15 (originally $79).

The Bag To Have: Jimmy Choo Saba Bracelet Hobo

FabSugar — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 02:00:22 -0800

The handbag has officially evolved. Humans are no longer the only ones wearing jewelry nowadays - Jimmy Choo's Saba Bracelet Hobo ($2,450) has joined the bling-loving crew. I don't blame it; like us, purses sometimes need an extra accessory to dress them up. Should you get this bag, don't wear too many bracelets on your arms. I know - who knew we'd ever get to the point where we'd have competition with our bag?

Naea Amanda Handwoven Hobo: Love It or Hate It?

Barneys is exclusively selling this Naea Amanda Handwoven Hobo ($250), made by casting director Amanda Mackey and her daughter, to support women in Ethiopia. I admire its philanthropic nature so perhaps I'd carry it on a laid-back day. Would you?

Juicy Couture Patchwork Hobo: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 14:00:22 -0700

Color blocking is all over the place right now, but I think it should be limited to clothing items...

This Juicy Couture Georgie Patchwork Hobo, $395, posted by Dmartinxoxo in the Love It or Hate It? group proves my point. From the color blocking to the Juicy Couture crest (can we say cheesy?) to the blasé tones, it's all wrong. I hope I never see anyone carrying it. Am I being too harsh?

The Bag To Have: Coach Camilla Printed Python Hobo

FabSugar — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 14:00:22 -0700

Coach has never wowed me...until now! Check out this Coach Camilla Printed Python Hobo, $798, that Fashionhore Fab found. Thanks darling!

It's utterly luxurious in appearance but not too insane in price - and that is such a rarity in the fashion world. I adore everything about it: the rich brown hue, the grommet details, the turnlock closure and the size. And unlike so many logo-encrusted bags, it's understated, and it doesn't scream "Coach."

This Camilla bag could work wonders for you. It could instantly transform a simple all-black outfit into a sophisticated stunner and would immediately take a day look into night. Just lovely.

Chloe Aubrey Leather Wristlet Hobo: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 16:00:33 -0700

I know this looks like a lot of heavy metal, but if it weren't for the weird ring at the top of this Chloe Aubrey Leather Wristlet Hobo, $2,760, I would actually consider carrying it. I seriously dig the silver-tone hardware and gold and silver studs on the front. But that ring top handle makes it look like a prop for a circus act or something. What do you think?
