Carlos Falchi Boat Hobo

Carlos Falchi Boat Hobo

Carlos Falchi has always been a designer that I find very intriguing. While I find the man behind the designs interesting, the designs are able to speak for themselves. While he also uses leathers, Falchi employs the use of exotics to brand his name, showing us eye catching bags in python, ostrich and crocodile. But now I am drawn in by the demure Carlos Falchi Boat Hobo, whose sleek and slouchy design I find appealing. The shape is a typical hobo, which leaves the black python skin to do all the work. The shoulder strap is braided, adding another dimension. I am a little let down by the print nylon lining, only as I crave something more luxurious when opening this bag. The interior means business, with a key clip, two zip pockets, two open pockets, and two pen pockets. Buy through Saks for $2450.

This is the most beautiful hobo ever! I absolutely love it. The yummy leather, the simple shape - perfection!

This is a very simple yet sophisticated bag. I love it. The color is sexy. What do you think of the price.

for $2450, i want suede lining. but maybe that's just me. otherwise, the thing is stunning.

Ooooh, that is a sharp-looking bag, but I'm with you on wanting a nicer lining.

i wonder how devi kroell feels about this bag...it looks so much like her classic hobo style...

I really like it. Last week I was looking at the Carlos Falchi bags at Saks. They are well made and really light weight!

Not a fan of this one.

Wow, this is stunning!

It's definitely tame by Falchi's standards, so that's nice to see.

His Chi by Carlos Falchi line is just awful.

I definitely prefer Devi Kroell's though.

Thats lovely. It reminds me of Bottega Venata...and the price matches too!!

[coco] · May 19th, 2008, 07:56 AM

hmm...... i am not a fan.
ditto on it looking like a devi kroell hobo...
it sort of looks flimsy in the picture.. like it needs to be a big biggger, have a wider body. i do however like the layout of the inside.... practical.

not for me...

I would probably get a devi kroell instead...

Nice but a bit bland IMO.
