I've been carrying Le Sportsac bags for years - mainly because they're sturdy and lightweight. Overpriced at retail - but I've been lucky enough to find them in "discount" type stores in the past (Ross, Marshalls, etc.) and occasionally a good buy at department store sales.Some stores manufacturers have copied them - the handle, fabric are not quite up to LeSport sac specs.
This black "patent" or shiny finish does double duty for travel - it holds everything - including my camera - and I can carry it all day and have no problem carrying it to an evening performance - concert or theatre. Since I travel abroad with only a 21 inch carryon - space and weight are paramount concerns. The purse fits into my shoulder tote - no problem worrying about scrunching it up and thus enables me to clear TSA check with the one bag and one personal item.
P.S. I never cease to be amazed at women who carry large handbags with hardware (buckles, trim) that weigh close to 5 or 6 pounds - this added to all the stuff inside!

if i wasn't so lazy about switching bags, i would have one in every color.

pros:

lightweight nylon - even after you get all your crap in there

roomy

nice amounts of pockets - two identical large ones on either side and a smaller one in the inside

ergonomic - fits well across the body and adjustable

perfect size - many messenger style bags seem to be too large to look cute

rigid - even though it's nylon, it will hold it's shape if you set it on the table.

stays clean

inexpensive

quality - mine have lasted forever

cons:

pockets too similar - on the classic hobo, the front and back pockets look identical. sometimes i have trouble guessing which one to access. would be nice if they could add something to differentiate them.

prints - wish there were more neutrals. goes back to my earlier point. i don't like to hassle with switching my bag for every outfit. other than the solids, it would be great if there were some neutral prints added to the collection.

could use as easily accessible phone pocket

I don't normally carry a purse this large, but I'm a Lesportsac nut, and there's not much between this one and the little "Ellie." Still, it's so lightweight that I don't mind carrying it. The shoulder strap is very comfortable, and it is nice to have the extra room.

My only complaint is that the front zipper compartment would've been more useful if it had been split into 2 smaller compartments. The things I want handy (cellphone, lipstick, gum) go in there, and they get all mixed up together because it's just one long compartment. This is the way they make the "Deluxe Everyday Satchel," but that one only seems to come in boring solid colors, and is hard to find even then.

Talk about a great handbag. For me, it's the perfect size. I've been looking for the right sized purse for quite some time, and finally found it. LeSportsac is a bit pricey, but the longevity of their merchandise makes it very economical in the long run. You'll have it for many many many years to come. In fact, you'll sooner get bored of it (size, design, etc.) before it will ever wear out to the point of retiring it for a new purse.

This Hobo Tote has an inner zippered pocket, and two outside zippered pockets, (one on either side of the bag). It also comes with a matching zippered cosmetic pouch. I don't carry a lot of stuff with me, which makes this bag ideal. It's not too big, where you have to search the "cavernous black hole" to find what you're looking for, nor too small where you're having to extricate a majority of your contents to get at what you need. The adjustable strap is a plus. It's long enough to carry your bag cross body, or shorten the strap and over the shoulder it goes!

LeSportsac comes in all different designs, styles, and colors. I purchased Primrose, and am thinking on getting an additional one in black. I think it's well worth the extra money spent.

I love this bag. It is a great size and made from a great easy-to-clean nylon fabric. It holds my things such as a wallet, lotion, cell phone, etc. and also holds a couple of diapers and a travel wipes holder. Would have given it five stars, but I just wish it had at least one outside slip-in pocket somewhere on the outside so I would have had somewhere to put my cell phone for quick access. Other than that it is an awesome bag.

it was a bit smaller as in the height so that my 500ml water bottle could not be put straight up.But overall it was light and color was vibrant. Nice to use

This basic style has been made by this company for many years now and there's a reason for it. It has a roomy main compartment with a zippered closure and with an interior zippered pocket just the right size for a passport and keys when traveling. On the outside there are two full width side pockets - one on either side - to keep easily accessible items such as cell phone, tickets, etc. This is a wonderful light weight travel bag that can be used every day. Worth the money.

I got this purse in "truffle dot" and it kinda had a diaper bag feel, but it was still a really great bag. Its very light and I love the material. Its large enough to carry everything you need but not too large where you feel like your bag owns you. I used this for a long time until I bought a Coach purse. Its a really great price for this purse, and in so many colors and prints you could have more than one.

LeSportsac Classic HoboI luv my new purse and the one I already own. Such a comfortable adjustable strap and lots of room and compartments, especially enjoy the little cosmetic bag. Great for travel because it's so lightweight.

Was delivered on time. Love this bag. None of the stores in my area carry this bag so was delighted to find it on Amazon! The perfect size and goes with everything. Have other styles, bought years ago, they last forever!
