I am a shoulder bag gal.  I got the Lola in cognac for a trip to Texas.  I had a larger shoulder bag with longer straps that I normally use.  I wanted something smaller that would not get in the way on the plane and I could get to my wallet quickly (to show id).  The Lola Hobo is smaller than I am used to.  It holds my wallet, my phone and that's pretty much it.  I keep my keys on a carabiner so I can clip them to my strap handle, but for the trip they stayed inside my bag.  The bag holds the essentials and and the shorter straps stay on my shoulder and don't slide off (my other bags with longer straps were always doing that).  I thought I'd hate the shorter straps, but turns out, they're perfect.  I love this bag.  I want to get the same bag in a couple of different colors.  The look is classic and looks great with jeans or dresses.  The construction appears to be well made and the fabric lining seems sturdy.  My older shoulder bag, with the longer straps -- I haven't gone back to.  Maybe for longer car trips.  I really, really like my Lola!
