A Little Disappointed
"I wanted this Sheila bag for a long time, & when the pine needle suede became available, I ordered. Unfortunately, while the bag itself is a great color, I’m bothered that the shoulder strap isn’t suede like the bag. I missed this when ordering, so was very surprised that it was solid leather. Color matches very well, but the hard leather DOES NOT go with the suede bag. Also, on the bag I received, the rivets in one side (attaching the handles) are really not in line & look uneven. I have had many HOBO bags over the years, but haven’t bought one since the linings were changed to plain fabric. One thing I always loved was the printed fabrics used. I miss that. Meanwhile, I’m in discussion with customer service, so hopefully this will all resolve easily. I really hope I don’t have to return."

Perfect bag
"I bought the wristlet version of this and loved it so much I knew this bag would be great, too. It smells of real quality leather and feels so soft. The interior pockets are perfect. So happy with purchase. I love it."

Silver sensation
"Shaila medium satchel is my favorite hobo bag of all. The round handles the cross body strap and all the interior zippi pockets and slip pockets keep me organized while looking neat and beautiful. This soft shimmery, silver is my new neutral and I will carry it in all seasons. I'm very happy with this bag. Delivery was quick and hobo is great to work with."

"Love this bag from Hobo so much! Its perfect for me, not too big or too small. I love that it has the small straps along with the crossbody strap. Roomy enough for all my essentials and has plenty of compartments for all my do da’s! Harvest wheat is a beautiful color and looks exactly like the photo’s!"

New favorite!
"I absolutely love this bag! The leather is so unbelievably soft and it is just the right size to hold everything I need: wallet, sunglasses case, keys, small makeup pouch, and a few other small items. The color is perfect, just the right amount of shimmer."

WHITECAP IS NOT WHITE
"Even though the color is called whitecap, and it looks white in the pics, this bag is NOT white. I have this same style bag from two years ago that is actually white, with laser cutouts in the leather. As for the style and size of the bag itself, it is a nice medium size with lots of useful pockets. Very little structure though, so it’s kind of floppy. Having both handles and a strap is very useful."

Oh Sheila! Functional, dimensional, everyday bag with structure and organization!
"Absolutely stunning bag! The Pine Needle hue is rich, the suede supple, and lots of interior organization! I love the structured shape, removable crossbody strap, and zip closure! Sheila checks all of my handbag boxes!"

I love the soft, pebbled
"I love the soft, pebbled leather & the roominess of the bag. The designer strap is nice, but much stiffer than the bag. The strap stays in place on my shoulder, so I like that. The pockets on the inside are nice, but the outside pocket is too small for my phone. If I could change one thing, that outside pocket would run the entire length of the bag."

Love my new bag!!!
"I have been wanting a HOBO bag for years, but I just couldn't decide which one I wanted. I finally decided on the Sheila medium satchel, and I saw this one that was on sale. Still just couldn't pull the trigger until it got an additional markdown for Labor Day. I love this bag - the leather is so soft, and it is the perfect size!!"

YARD SALE FIND
"I was very disappointed when I received my handbag. The photos on the website were not an accurate depiction of the actual item. The raffia material feels like a cheap hard plastic material. This purse looks like something you would find at a yard/rummage sale. Unfortunately, because this was a "final" sale, which I did not realize when I ordered it, HOBO Bags was unwilling to replace my Sheila bag with another color, or at the least provide me with a credit towards a future purchase."
