Large ''Utilitarian'' Crossbody-to-Shoulder Bag Hobo

 (12 customer reviews)

I love love LOVE this purse. I hemmed and hawed about a month before buying it because I wasn't sure if it was going to fit my needs or not. This purse fits my needs perfectly and then some.

The bag is big enough to carry everything I need throughout the day without being over poweringly large. I like that the little pockets on the front look cool but they are also functional. I use the zip pockets for packs of gum and to put my cell phone in. I also like that the inside isn't black. It's a cute, light colored polka dot type pattern, so it's easy to see what's inside and you don't have to dig for stuff.

I also LOVE the handles. Most of my bags don't have large enough handles so they either won't fit on my shoulders at all, or they fall off. The short handles on the bag are wide and flat enough that they stay on my shoulders perfectly and I don't have to worry about them falling off. The large crossbody strap also stays on the shoulders really well.

I'm very particular about my purses - sometimes to the point of thinking I would have to start designing my own to get what I want. However, until I can figure out how to do that, this one comes very close. It not only has several pockets on the outside (albeit most are rather small and won't hold much) but it has the divided interior that's on the top of my "must have" list. I need to stay somewhat organized - I need a big purse but can't stand fishing for things. And I don't care for purse organizers - that's a little too organized for me. I also am so tired of black purses that I could scream (they seem to be the only ones that have divided interiors)! The dark grey color is just right for me - neutral enough for everyday use. And I love the single strap. I have narrow little shoulders and double handles always seem to slip off, but I can carry this one using the single shoulder strap adjusted to the shortest length and it stays put. Maybe one day I will find a way to design my own...Read more

This purse was actually pretty cool and yes, the picture does present to you the real size. The lining on the inside is pretty thin, however, but it feels like a decently sturdy purse. I got it in black and it it fits my lifestyle really well. The body strap does take a little working to get going, but I was able to manage. It's got a million pockets and it keeps my stuff pretty organized. Especially the inside pocket with the zipper. I'm able to hide lady products in there like makeup and whatnot.

I would give the purse a good Febreezin' though before taking it out as soon as you get it, however.
