Summer just isn't summer without over-sized sunglasses and a hobo bag. The fringed hobo has been the "it bag" for some time now, and this black leather one from Oak is lust-worthy as ever. The asymmetrical overlapping of different textures and tones of black leather and suede is the perfect fusion of grunge and glam with its rugged and sleek combination. This version, however, is the ultimate anywhere bag -- with its "business in front" clasp and "party in the back" fringe, the swooping layer of dangling leather strings softens the chic formality of the classic "black leather bag" look. The tapered bottom look gives the bag a compact enough feel to sling it on with a sexy summer dress for a night out, and the fun fringe screams short-shorts and off-the-shoulder tunic for looking day-date dapper. The rough style of this bag makes no demure statement, so it's nothing if it isn't flashy. For a bold way to wear black leather, check out the Oak Black Leather Fringe Hobo -- the Hive's newest Bag Of The Week!

Hot In The Hive: Doshi Levien Paper Planes Reading Chairs

All I wanna do is ... sink right into that seat. Doshi Levien's Paper Planes line of reading chairs are designed to help you do just that -- they're contemporary like the bulk of their esteemed furniture projects, and their asymmetrical shape was actually crafted specifically for comfort, making the chair as sophisticatedly practical as dad's leather LA-Z-BOY, just more smooth and sleek and effortlessly less burly. And this chair can actually recline in more ways than one. It was actually paper folding that fueled the creation of this swanky lounger. Furniture design may have been pushed against the grain in the conception of this piece of art, but upon further inspection, the lines and angles of the Paper Planes chairs seem to flow together in a way that that makes sound, geometric sense. Upon even closer inspection, you'll notice that some chairs actually shimmer with Swarovsky crystals that trace the graph paper-like grooves along the chair's many planes -- talk about baller. Unwind and relish in the creativity of the planet's edgiest reading chair while really indulging yourself by sitting on upholstery laced with the world's most famous crystals. We'd all probably be reading a bit more if we had a reading chair like one of Levien's Paper Planes. To afford a piece, however, I might just have to take your money. Check out the slideshow for a few more views of the project!
