Review on Realer Hobo Bags For Women Leather Purses And Handbags Large Hobo Purse With Tassel by Kristen Lopez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love this bag! good for me

At first I ordered this bag in the medium 12.4 inch size, but thought that I may like the large 15.2 inch size even better so I ordered it the next day. Once it arrived it was considerably larger, almost too large, which surprised me because I didn’t think a few inches would make that much of a difference. My main purpose for buying this bag is to use for myself and to keep a few items for my son like diapers, wipes, and toys for quick outings so I don’t have to bring the diaper bag along. I put the same items in each bag to test them out and see which I liked better (diapers, wipes, and hand sanitizing wipes in the center zip pocket; my wallet, a bottle of water, and iPad on one side; snacks for my son, a few of his toys, and his sippy cup on the other side; my sunglasses in one of the slip pockets on the inside; and my phone, chapstick and gum in the outside zipper pocket. (I didn’t put anything in the small zipper pocket on the inside although there was definitely room to do so). I tested it out and was even able to fit some toys on the outside side zipper pockets if I needed to. Both bags held all of the same items easily, but of course the larger bag had some extra room to spare. I walked around my house testing out each bag with the same items to see how it felt and I also carried it with and without my son in my arms (he is 9 months old and pretty heavy so I don’t want a really heavy purse also).I thought I would like the larger bag best since it would give me some extra room, but I found that I actually didn’t need it. The medium 12.4 inch bag held all of my items neatly and easily without feeling heavy. When using the larger 15.2 inch bag for the same items it felt heavier and put a bit of strain on my back. (I will clarify that I also used the crossbody strap and put it at the same length for both bags to give it a fair test). I am only 5’2 though and I think the larger bag was just too much for me and I felt weighed down. Also, just holding each bag without anything in them the larger bag felt heavier and the medium felt lighter. I decided to keep the medium bag and return the large since it met all of my needs perfectly. You can’t go wrong with either bag, they are both great and made of wonderful quality! The imitation leather is soft and the bag feels sturdy like it will hold up well. I also like the inside lining since it isn’t made from cloth it will be easy to clean. I didn’t experience any strange smell like other reviewers have stated, the bag arrived with silica packets and potpourri packet that smelled good. The bag is beautiful and looks like it cost more than it really did. Both bags shipped to me the next day after ordering and the seller included awesome gifts (a keychain and a reusable silver bag!) I would definitely purchase from this seller again!

Pros
  • I like the size, the storage
Cons
  • The stitching is uneven
