Ever since Graeme Black (formerly with John Galliano and Armani) joined Ferragamo as head designer, the house that revolutionized shoes was back on the scene with a fresh collection of bags. No longer your bitty granny’s handbag collection, Ferragamo’s recent designs have been cutting edge and quite funky. Just look at this hobo, void of buckles and chains, it is totally hip and young with interesting woven leather details. The color is so great for Fall, it is a soft muted chocolate and works like a black bag without being a black bag. This shape is also not a typical hobo, it is a cross between a bucket and hobo. I love how it hangs so close to the shoulders, it makes the slouchy style less sloppy. Now for the downers, the pockets on the sides are great but are too deep for them to be a real time saver when it comes to finding tiny knick knacks. But the bigger issue I have is with the giant perforated Gancini logo in the front. Yes, it is subtle and is not a gold plaque, but still, it bothers me. Of course that is just us who like all our stuff sans logos. If you are loving the new look at Ferragamo, you better jump on it because Graeme just left the company last week to focus on his own collection. At Neiman Marcus for $1350.
