I don't always feel that handbags are pieces of art but Salvatore Ferragamo's Gathered Leather Hobo inspires me to become an artist myself. From the deep curvature along the midline with surrounding pleats of red brick leather to the metallic adornments and twisted strap that complete the piece it is truly a gorgeous handbag. (Plus, the fluid curves look like they would accommodate your arm or shoulder perfectly and nestle it between the smooth leather sides). The bag also boasts a silk lining, pushlock closure, inside zipper and two open pockets, a single strap (10" drop) and detachable shoulder strap (15" drop) all for $1,790. Display this medium-sized hobo around town, on the job or in the evening -- where wouldn't you want to wear it? (16 1/2" x 15" x 3 1/2")
