I knew Rock and Republic was forging new territory after tasting sweet success in the denim department but this was the first of their handbags I’ve seen. It’s been interesting watching so many small design houses blow up after hitting it big within a niche market. The power of strong branding. Like Juicy with it’s little track suits. Who would have thought? Just wait cuz Luxemix is going to come out with her own little secret weapon. mwahah. Back to these bags.. I like ’em but that’s just a little arrogant of Rock and Republic to charge that much for their bags. That’s as much as some of the better quality luxury handbag labels. Who knows what this quality is like? I’d most certainly have to see the bag in person before giving this a thumbs up. They are cute though and would look good with some R&R denim. And I’m not even a hobo girl! Rock and Republic Metallic Zipper Hobo and Rock and Republic Olive Zipper Hobo.
