My thoughts
I had the chance to visit the store a couple of days back. While there aren’t many options for you to choose from but there were few that caught my attention.

The studded cream bag is a beauty I believe. I’ve received many compliments on that one. I got the black one as a sample to try from the store. I have to say, both bags have got the current look however, I am a little displeased with the finishing of the black one. Don’t get me wrong, I love the glossy snake texture; it gives an expensive feel to it. Having said that, it’s a structured bag and it’s supposed to hold its shape. The edges seem to have dents and that, to me, doesn’t look nice.

I'd like to see more variety from HOBO. Plus, you get what you pay for – quality is fair to middling.

The studded cream bag cost me under PKR 5000 and same goes for the black one too (don't remember the exact prices). For more information, visit HOBO by Hub on Facebook.

My thoughts
Okay first of all, I am super in LOVE with this bag! I get many compliments from my friends and family whenever I carry it around. The overall quality is good. It’s well-made and the print on the front looks brilliant. Additionally, it has a lot of space. I can put my phone and other things like a pocket mirror, lipsticks etc. It also comes with a metal chain inside but I prefer carrying it in my hand. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if the print would look as bright as it appears in the photos that I saw on Clush’s page but to tell you the truth, it looks much beautiful in real. All in all, a big thumbs up from my side!

Truck Art Clutch Bag by Clush is priced at PKR 2200 and can be purchased online from Clush's Facebook page.

My thoughts
In the past few weeks I’ve been carrying this bag and I’ve gotten many compliments on it. In my opinion, it’s neat and simple-looking yet high on functionality and style. The only thing that bothers me about this bag is the middling quality it has.

The front of the bag is plain black suede with its back made of faux leather. It features a magnetic snap closure along with a zipper that secures smoothly. It comes with a solid shoulder strap that can be adjusted for length. The strap is removable which allows you to carry it using the golden chain strap in front. I personally prefer wearing it on my shoulder since it is itself on the bulky side. What I love about it is the roomy interior; it can accommodate lots of stuff! There is one back-wall zip pocket plus two slip pockets for putting small things in. It can fit all my day to day essentials very comfortably and still there's a lot of room left. All in all, it's one good-looking bag.

My rating

3.5/5

My thoughts
Well, I have to say I’m a bit disappointed with my purchase. Quite frankly I was hoping for something brilliant for the price I’ve paid. For one thing, the digital print is not as bright and intense as I was expecting. Also, the print is not clear hence seems a bit pixelated. The quality of the bag in general isn’t bad. The size is right, my laptop seems to fit comfortably and there is enough room for other stuff too. The only reason I dig this so much is because of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe printed on it but that doesn’t make up for the overall quality of the bag. All in all, it’s a so-so.

My rating

3/5
