    Foley + Corinna Drawstring Hobo

    By · On May 10, 2010


    I have always like Foley + Corinna handbags. But lately, I have been feeling kind of disappointed in their designs. I mean, come on! Metal mesh? Ick! In my opinion, the Foley + Corinna brand is at its best when they stick with a classic shape and a solid colored leather. It truly is the formula for perfection! That’s why I really like the Foley + Corinna Drawstring Pouch Hobo!

    I love the classic hobo shape combined with a drawstring closure, giving the appearance of heavy pleating. Plus the cords from the drawstring hang down like cute little tassels when the bag is drawn up tight. This bag also has another feature that I really love — exterior pockets! Located on the sides of the bag (= quick and easy access), these vertical zip pockets are the perfect place to hold your keys and cell phone. That’s right, there will be no desperate fishing for that ringing cell phone with this lovely bag! And, to top it all off, this bag is also versatile in its wear. It comes with a longer, detachable shoulder strap just in case you grow tired of carrying this bag by its shorter handle. This would definitely make a great daytime bag!

    The Foley + Corinna Drawstring Hobo is currently available in either Indigo (shown) or Camel: Foley and Corinna Handbags at Bloomingdales!
    Or find it in Black or Carmel Here at ShopBop.com!

      I like it, but not at that price.

      Gag to the first picture. That outfit looks horrible, like something my 8 year old daughter would wear if I wasn’t paying any attention. About the bag, it’s cute, but not in last years trendalicous over-worn magenta fabric.

      Is that gold or silver brushed hardware?

      Cute! I’ll wait until it hits bluefly though :)

      I saw this bag the other day at the mall. I think it’s a really cute purse, but not for me.

      Hey do Foley and Corinna bags come with dustbags yet?

      I like this bag, but I wouldn’t spend full price on it. I’ll wait for a sample sale.

      I like that this bag has 2 different looks to it.

      This also comes in white, black or beige. I can’t wait to see if they come out with a green. I love that color for Summer!

      I have this bag in the brown, which I like alot. Only complaints I have is the leather isn’t quite live up to expectation. Scratches to easily, and feels really thin.

      F+C are still making purses? I haven’t seen a new design from them in ages. I was getting bored of their City – btw, wasn’t that bags design stolen from another designer or something?

      • jackiebeth

        I heard that too! There’s a rumor going around about that..

      I just feel like something is missing from this bag. If I was designing this bag, I would have replaced the long shoulderstrap with something decorative, like a chain. You already have 1 shoulderstrap, the other one is simply for decoration. It would add some pop and interest to this bag – IMHO.

        You should send in a sketch :) Honestly i think you’re on to something. That sounds pretty fab how you described!

    • Elle

      So pretty. I put this on my birthday list. Everyone at my school has Foley and Corinna, especially the City Tote. I don’t think anyone has this bag yet.

      • Cassidy

        I hope you get your bag this bag for your birthday Elle :)
