A totally great Frugal Snob option! This hobo with cool pleat details has the big name designer look without the price tag. It almost looks like a Louboutin bag but just in feel and in no way is a knockoff of an actual design. There is true luxury for this price point which is always exciting to discover in a new designer. The leather and craftsmanship is tip top and from what I can see, you are getting a real value here while this brand establishes itself. There are some concessions though, the lining is fabric and not the perfectly crisp. The 8″ drop on the handle may be a problem for some but should be ok as long as you are not wearing something heavy and bulky. At Neiman Marcus for $360.
