Michael Kors Tonne Hobo

By Megs Mahoney Dusil RSS Feed on Mar 11, 2010. More in Michael Kors.

We already saw this bag covered by Amanda, who really loved it. And now I found it in grey and I adore it. I have an admiration of grey handbags and this Michael Kors bag does not disappoint.

All I need is to see the bag in person and touch the leather. Then I will know if I am totally sold on it. Because the price is amazing, under $800 for a calfskin bag with karung pulls. The leather is treated with a pearlized effect which gives a nice sheen to the bag. The other aspect that catches your eye is the multiple strands that twist into the shoulder strap. This gives a modern touch to an otherwise simple bag.

The Michael Kors Tonne Hobo is unexpected but welcomed. The hobo, measurements 14″W x 11″H x 3.75″D, and has a 9″ drop. The karung pulls are both on the front zip pockets of the bag, giving a nice separation to the hobo body. On the inside there is a zip pocket, cell phone pocket, and additional pockets. And I’ll get right back to the price, which finishes this bag with two thumbs up. Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $795.

    I got to see this in person a few weeks after I wrote about it, and I loved it all the more. The handle is really unique with all of its little strands of leather, but also really solid and functional. It really *felt* expensive, even more so than I expected.

      That is great to hear! I am going to go look for it later. Really pleasantly surprised at the price.

    That bag is gorgeous!

    I’m not sure about the pearlized effect but overall it’s a great bag.

  • anonymous

    Absolutely beautiful!

    It’s beautiful, I do love the bag. But I wouldn’t call this bag anywhere near affordable (at least for most people), as you mentioned on Twitter. It seems very overpriced to me. It’s something I would want to purchase if it were in a range closer to $250.

      Totally understand what you are saying! We typically cover bags under $850 on http://savvy.purseblog.com/ :)

        Thanks! I did not know about that! :)

    I’m guessing it’s the trim that makes it so pricey but… for such a small amount of trim, I really couldn’t justify that for the bag overall. It’s pretty, though!

  • Kim

    Can you say YSL Roadie?

    • Loquita

      My thoughts, exactly – and I prefer the Roady’s sleeker design much more (though I can understand the appeal of the lower price point).

        Bottega Veneta has a Fall/Winter 2010 bag that is totally like the Roady, much more so than this one to me

  • Jenn

    It’s beautiful, for sure. It’s also really heavy. :(

  • Cheryl

    I absolutely love it and would pay the price for that bag. I would use that as my everyday bag so I know I would get my money’s worth.

    I love this bag! I am the hobo queen and I love the simple details on this one. I dont think the price is bad, and would be willing to shell it out for this. Megs, how about returning the disapponting bag in exchange for this one? Seems like a good trade ;-) . (fb)
