I am loving about this new Smythson hobo. With a Smythson, you stand out with a unique bag, trust me, I have never run into another person with the Smythson Nancy when I carry it. But the distinct quality and the style give away its luxury status. The Erica is easy and understated, the denim does all the talking - how fabulous is this color?! This is a hobo with a flap and magnetic closure, you don't see that everyday. The clasp is an Italian briarwood called Erica Arborea, thus the name. The sides unzip to expand the bag. My favorite detail of a Smythson bag is the satin lining, always in a bright unexpected color and this denim has a malachite lining that is an explosion of vibrancy. At Smythson for $1460.

There is something that I like about this bag; maybe it is the clasp, maybe the shape of it.
Lovely lovely lovely, great shade of blue and the clasp goes nicely with it
As usual, a spot-on review. The color & wooden clasp are beautifully contrasting yet complementary. Gorgeous.
I went to their store on Rodeo Drive and bought the bag in black. I love the leather that they use. I also saw a travel wallet that I will have to go back and buy. Thanks for the review.
