Botkier James Leather Hobo, Handbag of the Day

The Botkier James Leather Hobo is stunning in a color that's hard to find.

This pale, almost whitewashed-denim blue is all supple leather, accented with goldtone hardware, blue criss-cross stitching and pretty, feminine tassels on the exterior pockets. Though we were first attracted to its shade, the shape is also plump and womanly -- and the pleats are charming.

The bag is 17½"W X 13"H X 3"D with a zip top and lined in a soft, creamy beige. This color makes an excellent contrast to the pale metallics of this spring, and is large enough to be your work bag, while still seeming sweet. We'd love to see this paired with ballet flats to complete the relaxed, sublime look.

The Botkier James Leather Hobo is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $595.00.

MM6 Maison Martin Margiela Perforated Leather Hobo, Handbag of the Day

The MM6 Maison Martin Margiela Perforated Leather Hobo is a bag that functions like an article of clothing.

Due to the shape (the depth of the plunge and the width of the opening, gathered at a small point at the top), when you throw this over your shoulder, it becomes a major part of your outfit, even though on its own, it looks somewhat nondescript.

This soft, perforated white leather bag is 20"W X 12"H X 1"D. Depending upon your style, this could add a hefty helping of 1980s to a bright color or fashion-forward sophistication to a pale metallic. The bag is lined in an attractive beige and includes a snap closure and inside open pocket.
