Henry Beguelin Croc-Embossed Hobo With Charmless Fox Tail Charm

The bag is really great – the hobo shape with the pin-tuck gather down the middle, the straps with the little buckles and the gradient of the leather.  That is, if you can get past that huge fox tail.  First of all, it is totally disproportionate to the bag and second, it should not be there.  It describes the charm as epitomizing the brand’s “discreet luxury”.  Yeah, real subtle there.  The fox fur is real but the croc is not, which begs the rhetorical question: guess which I’d prefer to be real?  I would say, get the bag and toss the tail, but you’re paying for it and $1645 for a Beguelin croc-embossed hobo is not a bargain.  At Neiman Marcus.
