The Bally Slouchy Leather Hobo Handbag is an elegant, feminine purse with a lot of flirty details.

The gold rings which gather the strap, the knotted "sashes" on each side, the soft, buttery leather, the detail on the zipper pulls, the dainty Bally coat of arms ... what's not to love? As you might have guessed from that upper left corner, the bag also comes in black, with silver detail, but we especially love this in this supremely feminine, creamy white. It's the perfect antidote to all the dark colors we'll be seeing this season, and likely to be in style a lot longer. The details are simple, and the slouchy shape is likely to improve with wear -- just make sure you keep it clean.

It's larger than you might think; 20" wide by 12" tall with a 9" drop. The shape calls to mind the seashell-styles of the 1980s, but doesn't hit us over the head with it. Which we appreciate.

The Bally Slouchy Leather Hobo Handbag is available from Intermix for $875.00.
