Size matters,t
Color: Wine
The bag that I received was much larger than the picture of the hobo bag. I am going to return the bag because it is too big for me to carry:

Best Handbag Iv ever Purchased from Amazon
Size: Large, Color: 2-croco Purple
I was a scrolling to purchase a new Handbag. Many of my Handbags were ruined in my storage due to a water leak and mold damage. So feeling sorry for myself a new handbag just may cheer me up. I saw this BEAUTIFUL handbag and looking at hundred’s of bags on Amazon. Then after close inspection on this particular handbag I really liked I realized it’s the exact same handbag Iv been using the past several years. Lol 😂 Mine is now a bit worn and starting to show which after 2-3 years of continual and I have a tendency too be hard on my handbags. It’s super easy to wear on my arm or just by the very sturdy handle. It holds up to the weight of all my things So it’s time for several new ones now that my collection has been destroyed. I have to say I still LOVE this handbag. The Color, Style and multiple pockets organizes my belongings. It’s just and Amazing handbag and the price point is great an absolute plus. It stacks up to other high priced brand names. Even after being well worn I still receive compliments on this handbag. Now the decision do I buy it again since Purple is my favorite color or maybe get it in a different color. Maybe Red for the holidays or Black for versatility? Still purple is my favorite. I’ll never be able to decide but if you’re considering a new handbag I’d give this one a try you won’t regret it. Enjoy 👜

Beautiful presentation and great quality! 👜✨
Size: Large, Color: 1-black/Beige+red, Size: Large, Color: 1-black/Beige+red
This handbag really exceeded my expectations. The presentation was beautiful, and the material feels high-quality and durable. I especially love the small pouch that comes with it — I used it for a quick meeting with just my essentials inside, and it looked elegant and simple on its own. The larger bag has plenty of space, the stitching looks well done, and the overall design feels very sturdy and stylish. It’s a great set that you can use for everyday wear or for quick outings with the small pouch. I’m very happy with this purchase!
