Hobo Bags for Womens,DDDH Vintage Leather Crossbody Shoulder Bucket Bag for Ladies/Girls

THIS BAG DID NOT LOOK LIKE MY PIC WHEN IT ARRIVED! (Unfortunately I did not take a "before" picture.)I was really excited about this bag--until it arrived. It looked fake and cheesy, and it was very stiff (not slouchy like the pictures.) There were threads sticking out, and the seam on the shorter strap was crooked, revealing the white foam within. I cut the threads and colored the foam with black sharpie to match the bag, but it still looked like a cheap piece of junk.Annoyed at having wasted my money, I decided to try to make it look the way I had expected before conceding defeat.This is how I achieved the look in the photo I attached:First, I scrubbed the bag with rubbing alcohol using a rag (which is now quite gray.) This supposedly removes the telltale shine of fake leather.Next, I used sandpaper to distress the surface. I tried to mimic the way the bag would naturally wear, but I got bored and just kinda gave it a decent scrubbing. Then I wiped it down with rubbing alcohol again.By this time the color was more of a charcoal than black, and I had abused the "leather" so severely I was worried it would crack and flake. I proceeded to treat it with mink oil to restore the color and protect the material. This made the bag black and shiny again, only this time it actually looked like leather. Somehow, the alcohol and mink oil had the added benefit of softening the material, and now the bag slouches the way I had initially hoped!I'm giving this product three stars because the foam was showing, the zippers are stiff and awkward, and it took a lot of work to make it look good. I'm pretty happy with the bag now (in my perfect world the hardware would be silver, not gold), but only time will tell it it holds up well. If it doesn't, I can likely blame its premature demise on a combination of my maltreatment and shoddy workmanship.To avoid having to expend this effort, allow me to suggest the following:-Get the brown version. I've never seen it in person, and it's probably also on the stiff side, but the color variation gives it a more realistic/"lived-in" look.-Get the black version, hope it's not defective, and either lower your expectations or prepare to put in a bit of work. Of course, our tastes may vary and it may turn out to be exactly what you hoped for. Good luck!

The bag was delivered today. It was packaged well for shipping and arrived as scheduled. I really like this bag! I chose the coffee color and it's a deep, rich brown that looks pretty much true to that in the ad. It's soft and somewhat supple, but not so much that it just collapses in on itself when not filled with stuff.Love the size! It's large enough to hold as much as I'll ever need to have with me at once in my bag, plus a little more, such as a small, folded umbrella. A zippered bag runs through the center of the inside, creating two separate compartments on either side. On one side there’s a small zippered pocket, and on the other side are a couple of open pockets.There’s a zippered compartment on the outside back which is plenty large enough to comfortably hold my phone and not create a struggle getting it out when I need it. There are zippered pockets on both sides of the bag that are large enough to fit one hand into, just up to my wrist.I am concerned about the zippers on this bag. There’s a gap in the largest one that keeps it from zipping all the way up. Right now it zips far enough that I don’t ‘think’ it will work it’s way open, but can't tell yet. Each of the zippers sticks a little, then works smoothly. I’m going to use the bag for a few days and see how the zippers do. If they seem sturdy and don’t present any problems I’ll keep the bag, otherwise, I’ll return it for an exchange if necessary.I’m really looking forward to using this bag! It’s perfect for when I need something larger and will pair well with jeans or something a little dressier. I just hope the zippers hold up well.

Trying desperately to replace my favorite Big Buddha bag has been quite the challenge .. Came across the claret-red & was soo pleasantly surprised .. Ord 3 more colors (black, gray & coffee 😁 My only issue is I would like one in Navy please😉The bags do have an odor nothing a good dose of Lysol & zipping bag close for a day can't cure 😉I'm also not really a fan of gold hardware BUT .. VERY PLEASED w/purchases.😊

I love this purse! Mine didn’t smell weird when it came and I love how slouchy it is. Perfect color (gray) and so many pockets. The two interior slip pockets easily fit my iPhone 6s and the center zipper pocket fits (vertically) my iPad Air 2 (but I have a very slim case). There are two big open areas formed by the big center zipper pouch and I love that they’re fully separate from each other. There are two outside small pockets on the sides but I don’t use them for things. There also one medium slim pocket on the outside back that I keep my work door scan card in because I can just press my bag against the sensor and the door opens! Will buy again. Love it!

I love this bag- I wanted to replace my old one because it didn't have an inside zipper pocket. This one does- one big pouch in the middle. It also has a pocket on the outside which is great for phone and keys. The only problem I had was that the dye or the glue or whatever smelled TERRIBLE. I threw some baking soda on the cloth inside and used some lemon essential oil on the outside, then soaked a cotton ball in the lemon oil and threw it in my bag. It really helped. Also, I did notice that this bag seems to HOLD smells- so, maybe don't throw it on the kitchen counter when you're planning to cook or it'll smell like your dinner for a day or two (and then you'll have to reapply the oils!). Otherwise, great bag- nice size, and the adjustable strap is perfect. I cut off the other handle though- it was a little bit in the way and there was no other way to remove it.Update: I’ve had this purse for several months now. The zipper is crappy and can be easily pulled apart when fully zipped, and my strap broke— one of the little gold pieces that attaches the strap to the purse broke and the other is bent. Took my rating down a star. The only thing keeping my rating this high is the inside zipper pouch. That is surprisingly hard to find in a purse.
