Diane von Furstenberg Kelli Hobo: Another DVF Beauty

For those who love the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium Hobo, here’s another Diane von Furstenberg beauty that you might want to add to your must-have list as well—the Diane von Furstenberg Kelli Hobo:

Diane von Furstenberg Kelli Hobo

See its different looks:

It is a bit inspired from the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium Hobo, but is more streamlined. It has the same Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium Hobo chain-link detailing, but as you can see it has been kept so minimal and placed only at the middle portion of the bag. Ruchings had instead been added, as well as piping at the front and back and whipstitched edges at the top.

It’s not as flashy as the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium Hobo, but it’s nothing short of snazzy, either. It has its own elegant and luxurious feel, and carries itself rather well. In fact, I love how classy and chichi it looks. And of course, just like any other DVF, it’s incredibly functional with its roomy interior and extra pocket on the inside. Plus, you might just be happy to know that it retails for a much cheaper price than the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium Hobo—it’s only $675.00 at Shopbop.com.

If you’re quite unsure about white bags (being an easy magnet for dirt and all), you’ll be glad to know that this Diane von Furstenberg Kelli Hobo also comes in black.

Woven Purse Pick of the Day: Indah Lena Crocheted Hobo

Be prepared to swoon over this Indah Lena Crocheted Hobo:

Do you like what you see? I must admit that it was love at first sight  for me when I first saw this ethereal beauty. I mean, who could resist that glorious wintry white with its sparkling beads?

The Indah Lena Crocheted Hobo had been crocheted and hand-beaded with metallic beads. It sports a long shoulder strap that allows you to carry it as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody bag.

The Indah Lena Crocheted Hobo is the perfect example of shimmering sophistication. I find it sleek and classy. The crochet design makes it an easygoing purse that you can carry for your everyday casual look, while the added metallic beads provide the right amount of texture and edge, which make this bag perfect for that sophisticated office style.

Here’s a couple of style ideas you can try with the Indah Lena Crocheted Hobo:

I have actually two good news for those who’ve been coveting the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium Hobo. The first good news is that it’s now available at Shopbop.com! LeAnn Rimes favorite woven bag can now be snagged in four available versions—Gold Metallic, Silver Metallic, Metallic Twilight, and Black Metallic.

The Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium Hobo is still celebrities’ favorite woven purse at the moment. Take a look at how LeAnn Rimes was still toting it while in St. Barts over the Holidays:

Here’s the Gold Metallic version for a closer look:

So what’s your favorite version among the four that I’ve mentioned? Mine would have to be the Silver Metallic. I like the Gold Metalic version for its warm hue, but I love the Silver Metallic variation because I find it more gorgeous and fitting for winter. The light the steely silver brings would look great against dark winter wool coats, and would give the dreary atmosphere a more cheery feel.

But whatever version you choose, I have to say that this bag is amazing overall! The metallic leather is a work of art, and it’s fantastic how the metallic peeks through when you move the bag. It’s great design and functionality rolled into one. The Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium Hobo is truly a definite must-have, so grab it while it’s still available, because I’m sure it’ll sell out soon.

Don’t think I have forgotten to tell you the second good news, because I’m on to that next. Here it is: for those who love the glamorous design and fantastic functionality of the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium Hobo, yet find its price too hard on the wallet, here’s a close look-alike for you—the High Fashion 5664 Woven Hobo:

It’s a close call, also great-looking, and—best of all—it comes at a fraction of the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Medium Hobo.

So grab what suits you. Either way, you’ll look fabulous and chic.
