The Look For Less: Dior Gypsy Ruffles Bag

FabSugar — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:00:22 -0800

Lately I've been going on about the merits of tiered ruffles, and now they've even made their way onto handbags!

One of the new Dior bags for Spring, the Dior Gypsy Ruffles Bag ($1,950) has ruffles, eyelet, and plenty of bohemian appeal. Since its price tag isn't nearly as appealing, I found a more budget-friendly option for you to get your ruffle fix with.

This Urban Outfitters Sweet Jane Leather Purse ($150) costs less than 10 percent of the Dior bag, and it's sleeker and more pared down. It's still got the ruffle-boho appeal, but is slightly less fantastical. Love it!

Trend Alert: Modern Day Hobos

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: Derek Lam Hildegard Hobo

FabSugar — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 04:01:33 -0700

Each time I visit the Barneys website, I stop, stare and fall in love all over again with this Derek Lam Hildegard Hobo, $1,800. I know the price is out of this world. Still, not taking money into consideration, this bag is exquisite. The shape is perfect and the bunching at the top just right. The brass ram's head hardware is unlike anything I've seen out there and really makes the bag what it is. It comes with detachable leather shoulder straps, which would come in handy when I'm on one of my shopping excursions. In other words, it's the bag to have...or more like the bag to stalk!

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?

The Bag To Have: Coach Camilla Printed Python Hobo

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.

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.

The Bag to Have: Diane von Furstenberg Slouchy Metallic Hobo

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 07:00:08 -0700

While Beyonce did some shopping at Patricia Field in NYC, I did some major staring at her . . . bag! Is she carrying Diane von Furstenberg's Slouchy Gold Metallic Hobo ($995)? She sure is. I love the big slouchy shape and the gold metallic detail. It has a glitzy and ethnic vibe all at once. The brown leather strap is dope, too. It spiced up her outfit, that's for sure. Now if I only had $995 to spare.

The Bag To Have: Givenchy East West Military Hobo

FabSugar — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

You may have had mixed feelings about Jennifer Aniston's black and khaki outfit last week, but I was secretly focusing on her bag. The Givenchy East West Military Hobo ($1,365) is the perfect mix of tough and luxe. The square shape isn't too big, designers seem to be scaling back on handbags sizes, and the gold Givenchy-logoed grommets are key. It's a new classic, how would you feel about this one for a Fab giveaway?
