I saw one of these bags on display in Armani Exchange Hong Kong at Causeway Bay last month. I have to say I like it very much - at first sight.

AX Quilted Hobo Bag - available in both black and silvery cream colors for $115 each. It has a peculiar shape, large and almost round, but looks very nice when you try it on. It has a snap closure with zip and pouch pockets.

It is available on Armani Exchange website, but the one I saw in Hong Kong was a deep bronze color that looked amazingly luxurious and sophisticated. I was told that different regions had different color options.

Plus, it is made of 100% man-made leather, so there is no doubt on the quality. A nice casual bag to be worn over professional lunch meetings with clients, or simply as a hip accessory during a mall trip - paired with jewelled thongs and shorts.

Definitely charming.
