The New Mulberry Handbag: Leah Hobo

Mulberry has recreated its Leah Tote into a more streamlined and stunning Leah Hobo, which has now become a trendier must-have everyday bag.

“We did some spring cleaning, gave the new bag one shoulder strap and moved the pockets to the sides of the bag for comfort and ease of access,” notes Mulberry.com on making the Leah Hobo.

Features that remained from the original design include primary details of industrial-style eyelets and a hanging Mulberry ‘Lucky Penny’ charm.

I Have a Thing for Electric Blue Mulberry Handbags

But what has really caught my attention is the fresh, eye-popping blue tint of this Mulberry handbag. Although the tote is also available in black and camel hues, it is this bright blue shade of the Leah Hobo that has really got me crazy about it. It’s a very vibrant color that doesn’t come usual in most designer handbags.

The bright blue Leah Hobo has been seen recently on Blake Lively, while filming the latest season of Gossip Girl. Blake teamed the tote with a yellow top, a pair of dark blue shorts and a gold necklace. The whole look just worked. It had an air of casualness that looks cool and chic.

Other Easy to Love Details of Mulberry Leah Handbags

Mulberry bags like the Leah Hobo are not only about the looks; they’re also about quality craftsmanship. They are made with plonge lambskin that is really gorgeous yet sturdy for frequent use.

Functionality-wise, a drawstring closure, two external side pockets with magnetic closure, and one structured leather handle with metal jump detail are also incorporated into the design. An eyelet detailed top with leather V and drawstring complete the look of these designer handbags.

When it comes to size, the Leah Hobo style bags are exactly just what I look for and need. Measuring about 30 x 44 x 22 centimeters, they fit easily over my shoulder or arm. Plus, they have a handle drop that extends to about 22 cm.

The Leah totes cost around $830. Still, they’re quite expensive. I have a feeling that if more affordable yet quality Mulberry replica bags of this style are available soon, they would be a big hit.

Do you dig this bag as much as I do?
