...just not for me. I typically appreciate the parsed down simplicity of HOBO, but this Lola bag is too stiff and small for me. I checked the dimensions and felt I could make them work, but if you over pack it, the zipper (which on my bag is really stubborn and feels cheap) won't cooperate. I ordered in the dark eggplant color which is gorgeous and goes with just about anything you're wearing-- a lovely alternative to a boring black or brown bag. But for those of us who need to pack more than a wallet, keys, glasses and lipstick, search for HOBO's larger version. I ended up giving this one to my mom who tends to carry less than I do. She found it challenging too as there's so little yield to the leather. Ultimately this is a more professional, mature look than I was after. If roomy, less buttery leather hobo bags aren't your thing, I think the Lola is ideal. Just be prepared for a too-shiny zipper that, if you're unlucky like me and my mom, won't zip without holding your tongue just right.
