A Find: A Hobo With Class

Since this country seems to pick up on handbag trends based upon what a certain nineteen year-old former child sitcom star is wearing on her arm, it has always been easy for me to dismiss many of these crazes as a tad juvenile. But I can’t help but adore the new “it” bag that Mary Kate has been toting around town. The YSL Vincennes Hobo (1,295.00) seems to have a certain air of maturity and sophistication to it thanks to darling details like the classy braided brass handle and side grommets. Even the whip stitch embellishment on each of the bag’s panels adds a simple grace by creating, clean elegant lines of contour. This bag is grown-up enough to make barely-legal starlets look wise and refined. Almost. Find it while it lasts at saksfifthavenue.com.
