Gucci Snow Glam Hobo: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 16:00:33 -0700

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?

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.

Gucci's 85th Anniversary Bag: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 00:37:25 -0700

A 25th anniversary is celebrated with silver; the 75th, with diamonds. But what about the 85th? According to Gucci, the way to celebrate your 85th anniversary is with a very expensive, very busy handbag.

The "85th Gucci" limited edition hobo bag crams just about every design detail the Italian label is known for-including bold plaid, fine leather, the double-G logo, and equestrian-inspired hardware-onto a single $4,795 handbag. What do you guys think? Over the top? Or classic in the making?

2010 Spring: Calvin Klein, CK Jeans, and CK Underwear

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:30:22 -0800

Clean. Precise. Minimal. Three terms Calvin Klein wants you to use when describing its Spring '10 collection. Staying true to the house's less-is-more aesthetic, Francisco Costa has delivered a line of basics with a sexy utilitarian nature. You'll find organic fabrics and most colors of the rainbow: sand, white, and khaki as staples, canary, melon, poppy, fuchsia, turquoise, and cobalt as accents. Drawstring cargos, denim vests, fitted blazers, parkas, denim judo pants, and shirt dresses are all solid. But one print piece stands out as the cool black sheep: a black-and-white, tie-dye dress that's feminine and bold.

Swimsuits are also part of the Spring family - a two-piece in warm gray and a one piece in solid gray or gray Bengal print. The handbags are equally minimal; hobos, totes, and rounded clutches are smooth and unstructured, with gold and silver hardware. Wooden-stacked heels and flat sandals are au naturel and sporty.

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?

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.

To see the look for less, read more.

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.

Trend Alert: Attack of the Silver Handbags!

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 09:30:30 -0800

It has been a long time since I have seen something so bold, so much, so shiny, as the attack of the silver handbag. I am perplexed by the myriad of handbag options in this in-your-face color. I mean really, how wearable is a big, bold silver metallic bag? So maybe tasteless heiress Paris Hilton can sport one, but can the soccer mom (no offense)? And these aren't the only ones. I have also spotted new silver bags by Furla, Michael Kors, Tod's, Bally and Lambertson Truex. So take cover - we are under attack!

To see my vote for the most wearable (and cheapest!) silver handbag I've seen so far, read more

Nine West Pocket Squared Hobo, $62.10. This matte silver bag delivers this wild trend in a subtle, totally wearable fashion. It is not gaudy or flashy, it's just right. And when the trend is over, you won't feel bad about chucking it to the curb (or not).
