I needed a Cute, "everyday" handbag. After searching online for what I was looking for, didn't find what I wanted until I came here. Either they (at other vendors) were too expensive, too small, wrong color, cheap-looking-I almost gave up. Then one night as I was ordering other things on Amazon, I found this bag and I just had to have it!!

I read the other reviews, and I kept looking at the bag until I finally said,"ok, I will just order it and if I don't like it-I'll send it back." As soon as I took it out of the box I fell in love! I got the red bag because I wear a lot of black and greys...so I needed a "touch of color."

It's not leather, but it really looks and even SMELLS like leather!! Very nicely made, pockets for cell phone and other things...really roomy too! I'm a Culinary student, so when I have classes outside of the kitchen, I can put my folders, notebooks and even my 8x11 daily planner (which I bought here as well), wallet, makeup bag...EVERYTHING!!!

Thats the only problem (and its not with the bag, its TOTALLY my fault! LOL) is that because I can put everything I need in it, it can be really heavy! LOL

So, if you want a nice "everyday" bag, that looks expensive but isn't, very versatile (because I take it out for evening events like going out to dinner and clubbin')and is made very well-then this may be the bag for you! I LOVE IT!!! (I just need to stop putting so much stuff in it!! LOL)

I got the RED one and the color is a rich, deep red, slightly darker than the picture makes it look. Believe me, if you are wanting to make a 'red' statement, there is enough purse there for people to exclaim at the 'big red purse'.

I was surprised that the bottom, pouch part of the bag is so soft. The material is not thin, it is just very flexible. It has a silky feel to the surface, but it's not as firm/rigid as I thought it would be, which is actually good. So, the bag is more like a sack rather than keeping the stiff looking shape in the picture. When you set it down it slouches into more of a puddle. There is slightly more structure around the top b/c of the double layers of materials.

This purse opens WIDE, which is what I was looking for. I got tired of the purses that you can't open enough to see what's in there. That being said, you can still close it up enough so that it isn't a wide-open purse. There is a short flap that you can zip up to close the main part of the purse that I will use sometimes when I feel I want my purse more closed. The corners tuck in at the top, like the picture, to make it appear more tailored. I was pleasantly surprised to find hidden magnets, about an inch down from the top, that keep the tuck closed when they meet/cling magnetically, keeping the purse looking neat when you aren't digging in it. There is one zippered pocket on the outside and it has a nice sturdy zipper with a heavy, impressive zipper pull

There are plenty of interior pockets on the sides, some with zippers, for the things you want to secure. They don't stick out to interfere with the center chamber - this is GOOD. The pattern of the fabric kind of hid that there are a couple of pockets on the other side, without zippers, that are great for a small cell phone and maybe a lipstick or small Ipod. The lining is a kind of rough cotton weave. I guess that's where they cut costs, but I don't need a superb fabric for a lining in a great purse that I can get at this price.

Very happy with my big @ss red purse!

If you are looking for an extra large hobo this is the one! It has inside pockets for easy cellphone and key storage. Excellent bag!!! I love it.

I ordered the charm hobo in the green..and I love it! I wasn't sure about ordering this bag, as I've always used a smaller bag, and was worried about how deep it would be. Well, I really like it..it seems deep, but I've found when I set it on a counter while in a store, it kinda flattens out, and then it's not so deep. I don't have any problems getting my wallet or other things out of it.

There is a zip pocket on the outside, which is important to me..I don't want to have to dig inside of the purse for my cell phone. I also throw my keys in there and it's quite handy!

It's very roomy inside..several pockets for smaller things, and a cell phone pocket..but I use the outside pocket for mine. The material inside is pretty..in the description I thought maybe it was animal print, but it isn't. Even still, very stylish! The charms hang on a removable keychain, which I have removed and placed my spare keys on it and carry it in the inside pocket, rather than attached to the outside!!

I've had several compliments on this bag and am really glad I bought it. It's practical enough for everyday use, and I think that it will be handy to throw snacks in and even a little book or 2 for my son when we go on short road trips!!

The only problem is, I kinda wished I'd have ordered the yellow as well!! I love this bag!!

Fastest shipping ever!!! Amazon is unbelieveably quick and efficient. Now, to the bag.....it's fantastic. I love it! It's not waaaay big, but big enough to hold anything and everything. There are two zippered pockets on the same side inside the bag, and two open pockets on the other side. Perfect for most cell phones, etc. The only problem is....I wish I'd ordered it a long time ago. The charms are a little disconcerting, but they can be removed or changed. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you Amazon!!

I love this bag! It's a nice soft bag with just enough everything-plenty of room,compartments and best of all to me it carries just right on my shoulder..alot of bags have too short of straps and the bag is often at a weird awkward uncomfortable place on my side but this one is perfect..just enough length where it isn't clutched in the armpit or too low to the waist.i got it in green but intend to buy other colors too.i have used this on trips and daily life...perfect for carrying your usual essentials plus enough room for iPad.

Love this bag. I've gotten more compliments on this bag in the beige color than Ive gotten for bags that have cost hundreds of dollars! Not the best bag for an ADD'er but it's lining is light in color which helps! Overall a great bag for a great price.

Love the size and look of the bag, but I didn't read the description well. I was disappointed that it is NOT leather (I know I should have known that by the price, but this was my FIRST hobo bag). You know it as soon as you touch it. It will do for now, but I wish they made it in leather.

I bought some small travel shaving bags in order to organize my items inside. You'll search like crazy if you don't get something to organize it.

Also, the pockets inside for phone, etc don't work very well. They're too small and the items keep falling out.

I was dissapointed with this bag. It does not look like the picture. The top is just too wide and it is very floppy. The picture looks a lot more sturdy.

I just received my purse today and love it! Looks like real leather and is a very pretty navy color (some navy can be too dark or kind of muddy). There is plenty of room in it with room to spare, and I'm one of those 'everything but the kitchen sink' types, without being too big or bulky. Lots of zippered compartments inside for necessities and one on the outside for sunglasses or whatever. There's a cell phone compartment, too, which is really nice. The charms are attached in a keychain-type ring, and I just added my own keyring to it. No more digging to the bottom of the purse to find my keys! I like it so much that I'm going to get a lighter color for summer.
