Hmmmm, something seems off here but I can’t quite decide. There is part of me the actually really likes the Badgley Mischka Platinum Label Carina Leather Hobo and then there is another part of me that doesn’t. The shape of this bag screams classic hobo which I am totally fine with. I can also appreciate the tie detail on the strap but I fear that it is just a bit too much.

This black glazed leather bag could be a perfect go-to if you are a tie kind of person. I appreciate the fact that Badgley Mischka went big with the tie, but is it too big? I think so. However, without the tie, this bag is certainly nothing special. The goldtone hardware accents look nice on the bag but I am still struggling to find the wow factor. So, help me decide… take it or leave it? Buy through Saks for $398.

I'd leave it without any hesitation. With or without the tie, the bag is nothing special at all. The tie itself is poorly executed and is just a frumpy, sad-looking thing.

I don't think this is comfy to carry, and the shape has nothing special. I will pass.

That leather "tie" or whatever can't even save this one.
