Review on Large Canvas Hobo Shoulder Bag For Women - Retro Crossbody Handbag Tote, Perfect For Casual Wear By Covelin by Franz Esquivel

Ordered the "wine red”. The color IRL was true to the images, no surprises. I initially wanted an oxblood color but the browner red they offer looked a bit too dour so I opted for this. With over 16,000+ reviews, I doubt my contribution will see many eyeballs, but thought I’d still post some pics to show how well this bag strap takes grommets —a fun, economical way to add interest and edge to an otherwise really plain bag. I used single 3/8” and side by side 3/16” alternating grommets to make a cool pattern all along the strap. Beyond how fun it was to add some flair, I like the size of this: big enough to hold a lot but not so big you feel you’re swimming in it. It has an adjustable strap and the overall dimensions feel sized appropriately for just about every body type.Before purchase I’d already planned to apply a large patch on the front —but the awkward and oversized label the bag arrives with is a big drawback; thankfully, it’s super easy to cleanly remove. Even if you don’t have a seam ripper, just turn the bag inside out and use some tweezers and any pair of scissors. (It is kinda weird that after manufacturing this bag for so long and selling hundreds of thousands of them to the U.S. market, the maker still insists on including this tag). And the zipper on my particular bag is a bit wonky/cheapie so be advised: go gently.But for the price point I am more than content and I just love how many different colors this is offered in. I am a bag snob in recovery; I’m used to carrying large, pricey, lovely leather bags. But as I grow older and in a post(ish)-pandemic world, I have a different perspective now. I want less fancy things in my life and more creative outlets, thus a bag you can easily customize is right up my alley. Plus, after years of carrying such heavy handbags my back and shoulders appreciate the lightweight comfort of canvas.
