Be & D Crawford Hobo Bag: Fab or Drab?

Megs · May 24th, 2007, 02:54 PM

I am a fan of black and white, but sometimes the colors can be overpowering when put together on one surface. Is this the case on the Be & D Crawford Hobo Bag? This handbag sports black and white zigzag pattern on the already known Crawford Hobo shape along with a leather shoulder strap. Paired with brass hardware and rivets along the strap, this handbag has a funky flair. Not much else to this large hobo other than suede lining and a press stud closure. Via Net A Porter for $1545. What do you all think?

Fab or Drab?

I like the plain leather ones better.

I like the crawford style, but I prefer the original plain leather most. I have the gold one, it's very gergous.

Drab!!!!

Ugly. And why does this brand charge so much. I don't think the quality is that great compared to other brands charging similar amounts.

$1545??? No way! Horrible

extremely drab, the pattern is a bit too tacky for my taste

I love the pattern, but not on such a large bag. And that price?

This bag should be labeled *WARNING MAY CAUSE SEIZURES*. It makes my head hurt just looking at it. On the plus side, maybe if i cross my eyes and look at a 3D picture will pop out at me...nope, no luck.

Ha, ha, Rapunzel! Funny!
I'm on the fence about this. It might look amazing with a certain outfit on a certain day when I'm in a certain mood. However, at that price, I'll never have the chance to find out. It's just too expensive to hope for that one day to come.

Fab!! Ever since I saw this picture of Elle MacPherson with one, I have really liked this bag!

Gorgeous! and Be&D bags are top of the line quality - I know about the leather and you can't beat the softness and suppleness.

I don't think the first pic does it justice.
The first pic looks drab to me and the pic of Elle with it Looks hot.

Maybe it's better IRL
