Trina Turk Marla Metro Coated Canvas Tote

… Too much can be blinding, too little can be ineffective. Falling somewhere in between is this Trina Turk Marla Metro Coated Canvas Tote. At first glance, I’m reminded a little bit of Pacman thanks to a confusing maze of lines that the little yellow fella himself probably couldn’t navigate. The more I look at it, though, the easier it is on the eyes. Sure, the pattern is complex and nonsensical, but why does everything always have to make sense? Sometimes it’s just fun to go with the …

Nanette Lepore Neon Bow Hobo

… even she slips up from time to time. Lepore is one of my favorite designers, but her Neon Bow Hobo has me completely puzzled. I like the idea of a bow-adorned bag, but the bows here look like clothespins, and the neon pink trim is so discreet that it’s barely visible at first glance. I do love the contrast of beige and pink, but the effect is lost in the complicated mess of bows. Back to the drawing board, Lepore! Available for $495 at Piperlime.

Hobo International Lady Satchel

… uninspired. I feel like we keep seeing the same color combinations over and over again, so the Hobo International Lady Satchel is a refreshing change of pace. Plum and yellow deck out this very petite and ladylike bag, which also sports just a hint of beige (which keeps it from getting a little too L.A. Lakers). If you love the shape but not the combo, it’s also available in solid almond. It’s $178 at Hobo International.

JJ Winters Taupe Suede Hobo

… have an ounce of fringe. That’s right, not even a single strand. Meet the JJ Winters Suede Hobo!

This bag may not be immediately recognizable as JJ Winters, but that doesn’t mean it completely lacks interest. In fact, this bag really isn’t half bad. I think it’s great this designer has decided to explore the fringe-free world. I like that they kept the suede, it makes for such a luxurious feeling piece. With the suede, they made gorgeous pleats that run down the sides of …

Anne Klein Lion Cut Out Hobo

There are lots of great things to love about this Anne Klein Lion Cut Out Hobo. First off, it’s yellow, and who doesn’t feel cheerful when carrying a yellow bag? Second, the part that isn’t yellow is straw. Straw is a wonderfully “spring” material. It makes me think of picnic baskets, warm sunny days and lots of beautiful flowers blooming. Third, it’s a hobo, which means it can practically double as the aforementioned picnic basket. And fourth, it’s less …
