Donna Karan Eldridge Plisse Hobo, Handbag of the Day

The Donna Karan Eldridge Plisse Hobo is a true accomplishment in modern craftsmanship.

The pale golden Italian calf leather is pleated as elegantly as if it were satin, creating a sleek, shiny, relaxed effect. The pleats cascade from contrasting round button details, and can even be folded in at the sides to achieve a more compact shape. We love the way the straps weave into the structure with a peekaboo at the top, and the lovely, gem like goldtone tag.

This hobo is a glamorous choice for a work bag, but at 19"H x 17 1/2"W x 4"D, it's also a sensible one. Though it's too large to get away with in the evening, you could easily fit a clutch purse inside for unexpected happy hours.

The Donna Karan Eldridge Plisse Hobo is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,495.00.
