because the very successful Diane Von Furstenberg Stephanie Hobo first came out, I’ve gone through numerous stages of thought over it. First, I loved that they used weather in a way that was, as far as I could tell, both new to the handbag world and really interesting. I wanted to have one.
And then I saw how it hung on some women, and how huge it was, and I was unsure. then I saw a slightly smaller version, and I knew I loved it. then I wondered if too numerous people had already hopped on that bandwagon for there to be a seat left for me. With the introduction of the Diane Von Furstenberg Stephanie take on Bag, however, I know that the folks at DVF were simply testing my commitment and they’ve finally rewarded me with my own ideal version of the Stephanie bag.
I tend to choose hobos over other bags, and my favorite hobos are longer than they are broad and hang down to my waist. I own plenty of bags that don’t meet that description, but I tend to gravitate many towards bags that do. The original version of the Stephanie, while being wildly creative and unique, was just not the kind of bag that I tend to use often.
This take on bag version, however, is much closer to my one true north. It still has all the charm of the original Stephanie through the gold woven leather, but in a shape that’s slightly much more conventional and not quite so enormous. but maybe…is it too conventional, maybe? here I go again…Buy through ShopBop for $875.
