Tory Burch Patty Textured-Leather and Canvas Hobo Bag: Tory’s Secret

A rarity! This is a really great frugal bag that will grant you happy use for the long-term. Tory Burch is so smart when it comes to pulling off high-end looks for a low-end sticker. The secret is in the leather. Textured and grained skin makes it look more expensive than it is, also making it a truly great value.

Patty’s taupe color may be as neutral as they come, but this practical piece is no snooze. The functional hobo gets a slight twist with a canvas banding through the middle and along the straps. It freshens the feel of the tired hobo shape with a sense of sportiness. The interior comes with two pouches, much-needed detail for a slouchy, item-swallowing style – one for a phone and one other devise (I like to put keys in a pocket, so this arrangement would be perfect).

The only reservation I have, and it applies to all bags that reveal their brand to the world, not just Tory Burch’s: You have to be okay with the logo. This is pretty subtle for Tory, but it still is smack in the center so you can’t really avoid it. On Net-a-Porter for $495.
