With a name inspired not only by one if the most revered cities in the world, but also by the verb, the Rohm Zipper Hobo is quickly becoming a coveted item here at Handbag Heaven. Its medium size makes it great for all handbag lovers, and the supple material is to die for.

Rohmin' in Grey

Writing this, I honestly could not stop squeezing the handle. I don’t know what it is; it just feels amazing. Don’t make me explain my love.

Except I’m totally going to.

There are a couple types of handles I can imagine on this bag, but the wrapped spun material is perfect. It really allows the zipper detailing to take center stage. The balance between the zipper edge and the fabulous flower into which it spins is perfection. That, combined with the gathered material on the sides, makes this bag something of a contradiction.

But a good one. A really good one.

I’ve decided the Rohm is understated major. Take it in. Understated. Major. Only the Rohm makes this make sense. Many of the bag’s elements are understated: the grey or deep purple goes with everything, the size is modest, and there is nothing really flashy about it.

"Rohmans" love purple.

But a true enthusiast will drool over the details: deeply ruched sides, thick, looped handle wrapped around itself, extra seaming across the front, along the zipper tail lines of the flower, substantial, knotted zipper pulls…Major.

The ability to make a statement with any outfit, without becoming tired, is a rare one, and The Rohm Zipper Hobo will undoubtedly be one of those bags you are SO GLAD you added to your collection, for years to come, wherever you may rohm. Er, roam.
