Is it just me, or is Chloe not a brand that makes a whole lot of hobos? Well, that’s not entirely true – they usually manage to turn their popular bags into hobos at some point in order to capitalize on their popularity – but it seems like most of their bags don’t start life as hobos, right? But today is a new day, because the Chloe Marcie Hobo is a hobo from birth and it’s, eh, medium amounts of successful.
The stitched texturing on the front flap looked good upon initial examination, but now I’m not so sure. It gives the impression that the leather is layered, but in reality, it’s just a clever sewing trick. Which is cool, I admit, but it just kind of…stops. There’s not a seam there to mark a natural ending point, which means it rather looks like someone got tired of sewing. Which, I mean, I can understand that. Sewing looks hard.
Other than that point, and it’s a small one, the bag is quite pretty. Chloe uses some of the best leather of any designer, and the creamy beige color shows it off well. The wrapped handle is a nice touch to keep things from looking to under-designed, and I like the thickness of the dangling drawstrings. Chloe should really consider making hobos a larger part of their original repertoire. Buy through Nordstrom for $159.
It’s a pretty bag, very spring-ish, but it is not making me drool.
Nov 9, 2009 12:47PMIt somehow reminds me of Anya Hindmarch bags…Anyway, I’m not ever buying another Chloe bag since some of them are made in Hungary and Romania now…
Nov 9, 2009 1:09PMPretty bag but i rather spend the money on a LV
Nov 9, 2009 1:36PMI like it but the color is too fleshy..
Nov 9, 2009 2:30PMI agree that Chloe should do more with hobos (e.g., the Heloise variation is both stylish AND comfortable). So of course I’ve been eyeing the Marci and anticipating its release, preferably in a darker color, though. Bergdorf is showing it in red (?) and the Chloe site shows other shades. Fingers crossed!

TCA Peel - Wrinkle Smoothing
By: Burt Mitchell | 28/11/2009We all age wrinkles are part of life, but we are able to slow down the skin ageing process with a face lift or TCA peels. As skin gets older it loses it's pliancy and the facility to fix itself and wrinkles, scars, age spots, or crows feet begin to appear like they have set in for life. Cosmetic surgery is always a choice for putting a halt to, or reversing the ageing process, but for the majority of us, it is simply too costly and evasive, while a TCA peel is a fraction of t...
