Designed for over-the-shoulder wear, customer reviews note its chic Parisian aesthetic but also mention concerns about the leather feeling thin and coated, so in-person inspection is recommended.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/women-designer/handbags/oskan-soft-hobo-bag--4025-70026216?colourId=0","brand":"Isabel Marant","condition":"new","product_category":"women designer > handbags","material":"Main material: 100% calf velvet leather; Other material: 100% cow leather; Lining: 100% cotton","dimensions":"12.75x0.75x9 in","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/4025/70026216/42/A1_2.jpg","additional_image_urls":["https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/4025/70026216/42/A2_2.jpg","https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/4025/70026216/42/A3_2.jpg"],"images":[{"id":"img-1784702990327-0","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/4025/70026216/42/A1_2.jpg","alt_text":"Oskan soft hobo bag product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio product shot centered on a neutral light gray background with even diffuse lighting, minimal shadow beneath the bag, and the bag cropped fully within the frame.","observations":[{"key":"Shot composition","kind":"feature","value":"Bag centered in frame, photographed straight-on showing the front face and entire outline with slight shadow under the bottom edge.","regions":[],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Background","kind":"feature","value":"Uniform light gray background with even, soft lighting and no visible props.","regions":[],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Lighting and reflections","kind":"feature","value":"Diffuse lighting that minimizes harsh highlights on the suede and produces soft reflections on the metal hardware.","regions":[],"evidence_status":"direct"}]},"colors":[{"name":"deep navy suede","part":"main body","regions":[{"x":0.18,"y":0.26,"width":0.64,"height":0.52,"confidence":"high"}],"subject":"product","description":"Deep navy blue suede with a matte, slightly nappled finish visible across the front panel.","sampled_hex":"#1E2834","estimated_hex":"#0E2A44"},{"name":"dark navy leather","part":"shoulder strap and trim","regions":[{"x":0.3,"y":0.02,"width":0.4,"height":0.28,"confidence":"high"}],"subject":"product","description":"Darker navy leather strap and narrow trim with a smoother, slightly glossy finish contrasting the suede.","estimated_hex":"#081E30"},{"name":"polished silver","part":"metal studs and hardware","regions":[{"x":0.08,"y":0.56,"width":0.84,"height":0.34,"confidence":"high"},{"x":0.08,"y":0.14,"width":0.12,"height":0.14,"confidence":"high"},{"x":0.8,"y":0.14,"width":0.12,"height":0.14,"confidence":"high"}],"subject":"product","description":"Polished silver-toned metal studs and hardware with reflective highlights.","estimated_hex":"#C0C6C9"}],"product":{"summary":"Front-facing crescent hobo bag in dark navy suede with a single short leather shoulder strap, silver-toned hardware and round metal studs along the curved outer edge.
