Alexander Wang seems to be building his empire following a classic black book. When you managed to come up with a iconic bag, make it in various colors season after season. I can’t begin to tell you the significance of the seasonal colors for Balenciaga motorcyle bags to the revival of the house or why Hermes does not need to come up with a new bag design every season yet they make the most coveted bags in the world today. The Alexander Wang Darcy Hobo was the hottest IT bag last season. It seems to be going a Alexander Wang classic, next to the already iconic Rocco. Love the brown and the Barney’s exclusive blue here. The Darcy Hobo is available at Barneys for USD850.

It is not easy to follow-up an IT bag without disappointing the lovers but Alexander Wang seems to be doing just fine. The Darcy Hobo is something of a different design with the Rocco hence will not suffer from any direct comparison. There are still the signature studs at the bottom of the bag like the Rocco. The Rocco was generally criticized as being being too slouchy and losing its shape due to the heavy bottom (that sounds like something else) but with the Darcy Slouchy Hobo, hey, it is meant to be slouchy anyway so I will say it is an improvement. If the size is big enough, I won’t mind carrying it too. Available at Saks for USD850 now.
